To all:
This summer I plan to extend my midi skirt collection, and pair them with sneakers and other flats. For now though, I will enjoy my new winter skirt capsule!
Jaileen and Suz : Yes, 5'6"! (Ok, 5'5.5" :-))
I have a big head - maybe that makes me look short in photos.
Shevia: Thanks. Yes, when in doubt, follow Angie's advice!
Suz: Your calves are very interesting! I think the widest part of mine is a little low, like you. Also, I think that these boots might be too high, and gape a bit. But the issue you have where the boots have to stretch over your calves: I have not experienced this. So maybe my calves are in the right spot and it is the upper part of my lower leg that is too short, lol!
On the sweatshirt dress: It is a fine sweatshirt dress. There is a little bit of pink gross-grain ribbon on the inside collar. Other than that, it is fairly basic, but worth it to me to buy from Boden because the cut is slightly A-line, which works well on me.
Bijou: Thanks for noticing the style change! I feel really invigorated. I feel fab, dressy, and myself in all my outfits. Such a change from jeans all winter long.
Angie: It is great to know where the boots are supposed to be. (I had no clue before.) Thanks for the boost on the slouch! I think I'll play around with it. Yes, the waist-up leg lengthening works so well because high rises are on-trend. I do think that the skirt length is only possible because of the high waist.
Avdan: Thanks! Yes, I do think I'll go a bit shorter.
Juniper: Thanks! I really do like the longer length, but find it might not be practical in my climate.
