I bought a lovely black faux leather maxi skirt because I thought it would be a goes-with-a-million-things basic bottom to substitute for jeans... but it turns out that I am not cool enough to wear it.
Or at least I'm not cool enough to feel cool wearing it. I feel like I look like I'm trying too hard. Maybe that's because as a vertically challenged person I was always told I shouldn't wear long skirts.
But the rules seem to have changed to more of a wear-what-you-love kind of approach. Should I give it a try? Is a black maxi skirt a basic?
And what shoes or boots should I wear?
Thanks so much for any advice! I love the honesty and support here!
It looks like this:
