Remember the old days, when the super feminine/cute/vintage thing was going strong, when everyone was rocking peter pan collars, tasseled loafers and bird printed, empire waisted dresses??? That was also the time when midi skirts suddenly popped op again after being way outta style for like, at least two or three seasons. I blame all of it on Mad Men, by the way. Well, blame is a strong word, I enjoyed myself quite a bit during those halcyon days of twee.

But then everyone grew up/moved on/was enticed to spend their money on new trends, and I sort of rediscovered the fact that my legs are way too good to cover them up with midi skirts all the time.

HOWEVER, I'm like almost 30 now (in three years) and doesn't that mean I should be getting into respectable style? NO, but it does mean that I now have more cash, and I like spending that cash, and one thing I spent that cash on is this midi skirt. I think a nice, thick, black midi skirt can be a great wardrobe staple for the colder months if you like a feminine, elegant look from time to time. This skirt is perfect for the office, and I love the way it falls. Too many affordable skirts are flimsy and crappy, and this one is not. Find it here, btw, but it's only available in grey right now. WINNER

  1. Love this look! I always think midi skirts look grandma-ish on me, even the slim ones. But you rock in this one!

  2. Oh my god, die rode lipstick is perfectie. Alsof je geboren bent om rood te dragen!
    Die rok is ook fantastisch! Ik zag hem ook al op de site van F21 maar heb hem niet gekocht. Ik sta daar gewoon echt niet mee.

  3. oh yeah I totally understand the feeling. They can be REALLY dowdy. But sometimes dowdy is OK, you know? :D

  4. dankjewel! Ik draag het nochtans niet zo vaak/graag omdat het zo'n KIJK ROOD effect heeft, maar soms is het gewoon de perfecte finishing touch!

  9. Fan! Zo volwassen joh! Truitje staat je ook prachtig, als ik zo'n pulletje draag zie ik eruit als een omaatje, één van mijn grote fashion frustrations :)

  11. Haha nee, die trui is geen oma-style! Wanneer ik basic truien draag zie ik eruit als een omaatje! Zo'n confituurmadammetje met dikke borsten en een schort :D
