A skirt as mom-on-the-go wear...

bitsofpieces

didn't really work for me. The whole outfit made me look kind of dumpy, and it wasn't really practical. Any ideas for making it work better?

I think the shirt may be a bit long for the skirt. A shorter top may help. Although I have problems with skirts as mom on the go wear for the same reasons you mention in your blog (getting in and out of the SUV, etc.)

ETA: I'm going to try a skort instead - maybe that could be an option for you.

I totally agree with cindy! The shirt is too long and is shortening your legs, choose another shirt, if possible more fitted on the waist also.

Yep- you need a skirt length top, and leggings underneath may make it more practical.

In addition to trying a shorter and more closely fitting top (which is true), I just wanted to say that skirts do not work for me at all as a MOTG wear as well, precisely from the same reason (bending, picking, climbing the jungle gym - all these activities cannot be done in a skirt while keeping my underwear covered). I decided to stick to clamdiggers and tunics with leggings. So I only wear skirts to work. But! as Khris said, skirts can work with leggings too, so you might want to try that.
