The Midi Skirt.

What can I say about this latest trend, except, you definitely need at least one in your Spring/Summer wardrobe...

You can't go wrong with a midi skirt. It is the perfect outfit to take you from day to night. Whether you are heading out for a day of shopping or out at dinner with your beau, this is the perfect all rounder.

The midi skirt is incredibly feminine and flattering when styled correctly.

The midi skirt is most amazing when styled with high heels. If you are a flats kind of girl, then this is one trend, you'll have to miss. Unless, you are one of those women, blessed with above average height! There are many heel heights and types available, I'm sure you can find one style to suit you.

For a casual day-to-day look, style your midi, with chunky block heels or low heeled stilettos. This will give you an effortlessly chic look and make your legs look amazing. When it comes to styling your midi skirt for a more formal occasion, this is where you can pull out your ankle breaker high heels and sparkling blouse.

Here are my tips for styling your midi skirts and the shoes I would choose to style with them.

1. Always wear high heels with your midi skirts! This is a must. If not, your legs will look short and stumpy, which won't be flattering at all. The only exception to this rule...if you already have legs that go one for miles.

2. Style your high waisted midi skirt, with crop tops. This will make you look so much taller. Have some fun with your crop tops. There are so many styles available.

3. As most midi skirts are full and puffy, remember to keep the look balanced. With a full and heavy skirt on the bottom, remember to keep your top half fitted, otherwise you will appear heavier than you are. Styling tip: Add a belt to your waist. This will cinch you in and give you a nice feminine shape.

4. As for the shoes, you can step into a pair of chunky block heels for casual, everyday wear. Style your midi skirt with a simple t-shirt (always tucked in) for an effortless look. Opt for thin strappy high heeled sandals for evening wear. It makes the look super feminine and makes your legs go one for days. And, finally, step into a pair of pumps and a soft blouse ready for the office.

The possibilities are endless, when it comes to styling a midi skirt. They are flirty, feminine, fun and fantastic. What more can you want? This is definitely one chic trend, that I will be loving this Summer season.
