Back in the 80s we were all wearing this length and nobody ever, EVER called it a "midi." It was just a, you know, SKIRT. I haven't heard the term "midi" since the 60s and early 70s, when "midi" was what one called a longer skirt to distinguish it from the then-ubiquitous mini's! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399800 Sun, 07 Aug 2011 15:20:53 +0000 mrseccentric 399800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yay! i loved skirts this length back in the 1980's - so easy to wear, ladylike, really show off the shape of calf/ankle and showcase little shoes and booties. you can also wear patterned tights or hose without feeling like they overwhelm the look.</p> <p>it's funny how terms change, i remember this length being called more 'below the knee' and 'midis' were a couple inches longer, more like 'above ankle' length.</p> <p>either way, i say 'hooray'!!! steph </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399788 Sun, 07 Aug 2011 15:07:19 +0000 Jonesy 399788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt is fab and I can totally see Kyle looking amazing in this! I have some longer skirts/dresses lurking in my closet, from quite a few years ago (one of the dangers/benefits of being on Team Keep!), that I'm going to have to post for styling help at some point :). They might be hopelessly dated, but maybe not...I love the return of the midi--variety is where it's at, IMHO! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399786 Sun, 07 Aug 2011 15:03:10 +0000 Angie 399786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, precisely. You are destined to purchase every midi in sight. Forget SYC. </p> <p>Bella, to be fair, it really depends on *who* is wearing that outfit. Don't you think? </p> <p>Laura, you always have the option of hemming </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399629 Sun, 07 Aug 2011 01:55:20 +0000 Laura 399629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, can't wait to see it on Kyle!</p> <p>All I can think is that as much as I love the new length, I'm going to be relegated back to the petites dept. for skirts and dresses if midis are the new norm While the length of dresses was much too short for many recently, it was actually perfect for me. Oh well, guess I've had my day in the sun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399614 Sun, 07 Aug 2011 01:08:23 +0000 rae 399614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! May they stick around a long, long time - I don't want to give up my midis any time soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399608 Sun, 07 Aug 2011 00:34:58 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 399608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The booties definitely update it, although I have issues with peeptoe booties, as well! lol Too much volume, too long and too drab a color, but I am still willing to try a more streamlined midi. My eye needs no adjusting, as I'm a lifelong "I Love Lucy" viewer! heh </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399606 Sun, 07 Aug 2011 00:31:52 +0000 lyn* 399606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So the solution is I should buy up every midi in sight </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399604 Sun, 07 Aug 2011 00:05:18 +0000 Anonymous 399604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with you, Angie, and hope these become mainstream. This time around I'll keep the length just below the knee rather than the calf, a frumpy look on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399592 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 23:06:53 +0000 bella 399592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find the first picture a bit frumpy. I think it looks much better with they peeptoe booties in the second picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399579 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 22:33:20 +0000 san 399579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was my favorite skirt about 20 yrs ago. I still love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399578 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 22:29:59 +0000 Aida 399578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks like a longer version of <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/vince-camuto-belted-chiffon-skirt/3185388?origin=related-3185388-0-0-1-1">the black</a> (which I picked up during NAS). Pretty color! I think this may be too much fabric for small petites like me though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399545 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 21:43:32 +0000 Angie 399545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joha, I wrote a post on how to wear midis so check back: </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/04/08/how-to-wear-midi-skirts-and-dresses/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2011/04/.....d-dresses/</a></p> <p>Mary, spot on. A very "me" skirt but I do not wear olive well at all. I'll take one in tomato red, cobalt, apple green, turquoise, citron, or ink blue please.</p> <p>Kyle is going to rock this darling like nobody's business. I will have an apoplexy if you return it.</p> <p>Lyn, if enough people buy midis, they will become mainstream. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399467 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 20:27:02 +0000 Joha 399467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my, I SO love this look. But how do I style it, if tucking is not an option thanks to my extra high waistline? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399435 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 19:37:46 +0000 MsMary 399435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, that looks so YOU (except maybe for the color)! </p> <p>Kyle, can't wait to see it on you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399425 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 19:20:55 +0000 Freckles 399425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning skirt.</p> <p>I hope they stick around, love them as I don't love my knees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399411 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 19:02:50 +0000 Marley 399411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isn't that pretty! Kyle - I like your ideas for styling it - can't wait to see your pics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399371 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 17:39:32 +0000 modgrl 399371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of it but I wish it was sleeker. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399354 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 17:17:24 +0000 lyn* 399354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it does become mainstream; do you think it will stick around for a bit? I am starting to love the midi look, but I don't want to sink a whole bunch of money into it if it's not going to last. I think the shorter lengths have been around longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399343 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 16:59:03 +0000 Kyle 399343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny. I bought it last night while doing some returns and think it may be quite versatile if I decide to keep it. It needs a fitted top in my opinion. I'll try a tailored white or black blouse, or a defined knit on top, possibly in cream, though I don't want it to look drab. I also have an Equipment animal print blouse with the perfect colors -- but it might be too oversize and floaty for this skirt. I keep picturing a close fitting PB blouse with it for a retro, ladylike feel. The skirt has more blue tones than you can see in the link, which looks very olive, though I don't want to be misleading. It is green. </p> <p>In the summer I can go sleeveless -- even a simple tank -- and be very floaty. In the winter, I can totally see it with fitted turtlenecks and boots. Shoes? Nude...snake...animal print...black...cognac... brown...purple...I think there will be many options. </p> <p>I was excited to find this and did not know Vince Camuto had a clothing line. I was impressed by the styles and reasonable pricing. And I was thrilled to find a skirt that did not fall above my knees! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399326 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 16:37:21 +0000 marianna 399326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh that's lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399321 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 16:27:33 +0000 Kari 399321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! I love the fact that it's a floaty chiffon fabric instead of something more structured - a bit unexpected for military/olive green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399318 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 16:23:11 +0000 Anonymous 399318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope it becomes mainstream too! It would offer a lot more freedom of movement than a straight knee-length skirt, and in a casual fabric, it would be great for moms on the go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399317 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 16:19:46 +0000 sarah 399317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is lovely, Angie. I'm not sure I have a single pair of shoes I could wear with a midi in fall/winter, though : (. I do have a pair of heeled boots that would probably do... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399311 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 16:10:27 +0000 Suz 399311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's pretty and the chiffon would make it "swingy" or "swishy" which is a delightful quality in a skirt. Feels so feminine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399309 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 16:08:27 +0000 Vani 399309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks gorgeous!!! I'm with you on the too short for too long phenomenon. So refreshing to see lower hemlines. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399308 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 16:07:55 +0000 Ginkgo 399308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the waist and silhouette VERY much, looks flattering to my eye. Took a minute to adjust to the length and now that's good too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-midis-yes#post-399305 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 16:05:46 +0000 Angie 399305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This style just hit stores. It looks soooooo refreshing to my eye. I don't know about you, but I've seen too much short for too long: </p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vince-camuto-long-chiffon-skirt/3200102?origin=PredictiveSearch&#038;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vi.....sultback=0</a></p> <p>I hope this trend becomes mainstream. </p>
