Skirting the Issue

Jump to Comments

I’d never been much of a skirt girl - I much prefer the ease of slipping on a dress. Call me lazy if you will Besides, I always feels skirts are not the best thing for my small frame, making me feel dumpy at times.

When I do wear skirts, there are certain things I look out for - length and volume. I like them short and full.

The ultra short, ultra flare skirt, iconic piece of the Miu Miu S/S 2008 Collection, fulfills this criteria perfectly:

When I first saw it, I thought it was adorable and loved the dramatic shape, but deemed it to be too impractical for actually wearing.

While Queen Michelle went so far as to make her own skirt! She’d even included a step by step

It is always interesting to see how runway trends are interpreted on the streets - and I’m pleasantly surprised by how wearable this skirt looks despite my earlier doubts

I wish I can sew too - DIY projects by fellow bloggers always make me feel immensely inspired to make something with my hands!
