This "skirt" is actually a dress that is somewhat orphaned but that has survived several purges because it is well-made and quite flattering. It's also useful for certain types of conservative, dressy winter events. It feels rather too conservative and classic for me for everyday though, and I also find it really difficult to style as a dress (plus the top part is slightly too big so it always requires a topper). I do really like the pattern, which is a grey tweedy herringbone. Today I decided to try to make it more me by wearing it as a skirt and pairing it with more casual, funky elements like my lace-front sweatshirt and slouchy midcalf boots.

What do you think of the length/fullness of the skirt? I have to admit that I generally prefer my winter skirts (worn with tights and boots) to be on the short side because of legline lengthening issues. I am not fond of the tall boots/long skirt/no visible leg look so with this length I am limited to midcalf and booties, which is potentially stumpifying. So I feel like maybe this skirt (it covers my knees) is a little too long. It's also very full but heavy so it hangs rather than poufs. I am toying with the idea of getting a petticoat-style slip that would puff out this skirt (and others that I own) a little more, but would that be too over-the-top and costumey?
