The Battle Of The Midi Skirt...

I've not posted in a while, and I'm not sure if anyone is actually reading this but it's the battle of the midi skirt. They seem to be this seasons latest trend so I thought I'd give you the low down on some of my favourites :-)




Obviously I'm going to give you my favourite first as in the one I bought to wear in the summer..

Well yeah, this one above in the tiny picture is a pleated bright green midi skirt I recently bought from New Look for £20.00. It was then in the sale for £6 so was pretty annoyed that I payed the price I did! The skirt is a lovely length and looks good with heels like in the picture and also a pretty pair of sandals. I'm planning on wearing mine with a slogan vest tucked in and a denim jacket. This is the vest I bought from New Look for £10 to wear with it, it's ticking the patriotic trend in the UK this year due to the Jubilee and the Olympics with the slogan "London calling." I love this vest and also wear it will jeans, converse and a cardigan/blazer.

Another favourite midi skirt of mine is this lovely pale pink skirt with a tan belt...

This skirt is also from New Look for around £20. I love this skirt as it is ticking the pastel shade trend box. It is also less dressy than the green one above as the material is more flowing. I think the tan belt gives an added twist to this look and also enhances the waist I would possibly change the belt up to maybe this cute cream belt £6 Dorothy Perkins to take away the harshness of the tan belt and tone down the look. Again, I'd suggest wearing a vest/t-shirt with this look with wedges/loafers/sandals with a cute denim jacket. My next favourite midi skirt is: this pretty Fearne Cotton skirt from Very. Its a lovely lemon colour again ticking the box for pastels and will look good with sandals for summer. I love the pleats and the fact that it has an underskirt so no chance of seeing any garish knickers ! It could be worn with a biker jacket to make to skirt slightly more edgy or a simple lace print top tucked in if you want to go for the delicate look of the skirt.

I would recommend this pretty butterfly print top £28 from Dorothy Perkins if i was going to go with the delicate look as it is a few shades lighter than the skirt and the butterflies add some level of interest to the other ways very plain colour pallet.

I was unsure at first with weather or not I liked midi-skirts as they were a length I only associated with granny's. However they have actually grown on my and they're actually quite funky depending on the styling of them. The bright green midi was my way of trying to avoid looking like my Nana as it was such a bright colour and I knew with the right styling I could make it work. Can't wait to wear it in the summer ! It's too chilly here in England at the moment as even whilst writing this the dark clouds are looming over so I doubt this will get a wear until July..however the beauty of these skirts is that I don't have to shave my legs completely woo! It's a win win ! Join me next time when I'll be looking at different jackets as a cover up for when the sun disappears behind the cloud in the summer.

Ohh and as an added extra, I bought this lovely midi skirt for £14 free delivery off ASOS.....

I wear this skirt, with a plain white t-shirt from M&S that cost £6. This skirt looks better with a plain top due to the busy pattern on the skirt. I also wore this with a pair of gladiator sandals and my trusty denim jacket from internationale.
