Vintage Blouse and Skirt, JCrew Necklace, Christian Louboutin Heels
Longer mid length and maxi skirts have been popping up all over the runways and I am completely supportive of this trend. The chic mid-calf 1970's cut shows just the right amount of skin, looks sophisticated and most importantly, is flattering on all body types / heights. I am 5 foot 1 inch tall and thought this particular cut would make me look even shorter. Low and behold, with a pair of pumps (my beloved Christain Louboutins in this case) the length proved to actually be very elongating. I'm not bidding adieu to mini skirts but I will definitely be incorporating more mid-calf length skirts into my life this fall and winter.

@Alyssa, no i didn't get this skirt there - but i did stop in your "secret" spot this weekend and scored a pretty amazing jacket! i'll have to post so you can see!
I love this. Great length and love the print! Looks fab on you!!
I love it all. The skirt length would probably never work on me because of my height, but on you it's amazing.

I love the length, and the shoes are divine! You must have had a fantastic evening looking so fantastic!
Very pretty, Alicia! I love the Christian Louboutin's with this skirt.
i'm 5'2" so I feel your pain! love that skirt and pumps!! i have that necklace! adore it! xo
that skirt is soo pretty!! And whenever I see those heels I think of them as your proposal shoes :) So sweet! (why didn't matthew do that for me?! ughh haha)
@Mara, aww, I always think of them as my proposal heels too!! :)
I agree, I thought this length would make me look really short but it actually does the opposite! Who knew? I'm so envious of all this thrifting going on and definitely need to get on board with it. That skirt is so pretty and ladylike, what a gem. And I will always love those heels. So classic.

This is absolutely gorgeous on you. Perfect beyond perfect. The skirt and heels are just wonderful together. I'm five foot two inches and couldn't agree more. Heels = save!

Love your vintage blouse and skirt! I actually just bought a maxi skirt, and I was shocked that I didn't look like I was drowning! I'm 5'1 too, so you know how tricky that can be. I'm so jealous of your loubies! I've wanted that exact pair for a long time, and just haven't purchased yet. What the heck is wrong with me?! LOL! They look amazing on you! I need to get on that! ;)

didn't realize you're only 5'1 (i'm 5'0). Very reassuring to see a fellow petite girl rocking the mid length skirt; looks so classy on you!
SO cute!
this whole outfit is perfectly put together! the essence of chic! (and swoon over your Louboutins....sigh) :)
xo
Looove this outfit so much! You look amazing! There is something very Gwen Stefani (a la Sunday Morning) about that skirt! Love the retro/glam/classy vibe - one of my favorites of yours yet!
i dig this outfit on you, i really do. but i could never pull this outfit off.
ooh i just got an idea...add some glasses and pin that hair up and you'd look like a sexy school teacher. rawr!
Wasn't a fan of the long skirt trend until I saw this! Great outfit!
now, aren't you glad i enabled the purchase of this outfit? love it!!!
