the new skirt length

Grace Kelly is the embodiment of a feminine style that I feared had disappeared from our society. To me, there is so much to be said for a woman who shows just a touch of skin, leaving the rest to imagination and creating intrigue. It emits this sort of respectful sexiness and dignified strength. It's something we can exploit by simply extending the hemline of our skirts and dresses. It's what Grace Kelly pulled off so well in Rear Window with her famous green suit.

Luckily for us, the mid-calf length skirt (aka midi skirt) is back in style and is more versatile than ever before. This skirt length can appeal to a wide variety of personalities - not just for the conservative and corporate executives anymore. It can just as easily be worn by the artistic siren, active student, or the shy fashionista.

One of my favorite pairings with the midi skirt is ankle booties - the fastest way to update the skirt to the 21st century. The length can be casual and it can be dressy, you can decide by what you pair it with - sequined top or comfy sweater for example (as seen below). The shape of the skirt can also decide how dressed up or down you can make it. Pencil skirts are traditionally more dressy than the A-line skirt. At the end of the day, it's up to you to make it your own and rock it with that Grace Kelly feminine confidence that is sure to get you noticed.

How do you feel about the new skirt length? How will you rock it?

Yours truly,
Jen
