You all probably know by now that I love midi skirts! (You might even remember that In my Loehmann's video I say that it's my favorite trend!) As I've talked about in previous posts, they look great with crop tops or graphic shirts and my #1 rule is that you must wear them with heels. BUT what I haven't shared with you all is my midi skirt secret! It may come as a surprise that in the photo above, I'm actually wearing a yellow striped midi dress (not a skirt)! Whoa! I added a basic t-shirt over this sleeveless dress and tied it in a knot in the back to create the look of a midi skirt. I made sure to have the shirt hit my waist when knotting it to give the illusion that the skirt was high waisted. Is your mind blown or what?! :) Seriously though, I encourage you to try this with any of your mid-length dresses in your closet. It will immediately update your wardrobe! Plus you get to wear something old in a new way! Yippee! And I can't forget to mention my Go Fish necklace that I absolutely adore and wear all the time! Fall Styling tip: In cooler temperatures, throw on a jean jacket (over your shoulders of course!).
