Blush Textured Midi ($35)

Full midi-skirts are in vogue for the spring season. This one from Dorothy Perkins allows you to indulge in a trendy piece without breaking the bank.  I adore the ballerina pink hue and the wider pleats.  The texture on the fabric is nice as well.

I also found this white Topshop skirt ($96) and this black Aqua skirt ($78).  Prefer your midi on the slimmer side?  This high-waist midi-skirt from Express ($59) and this printed OXO skirt ($46) are both nice choices.

Plus-size: Asos Curve Midi Skirt ($33) Petite: Asos black midi ($38) and Dorothy Perkins Blush Midi ($35) Tall: Blush Knife-Pleated Midi Skirt ($39)

    I’d like to see how you would style this, especially for size 12 and up.

      If you’re concerned about wearing a fuller skirt, belt it. I would tuck in a structured button up blouse and grab a wide stretchy belt to accentuate the waist. Also, fuller skirt means slimmer blouse. Choose a fuller blouse and you’re going to look like the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man even if you’re a size -0.

    How do you feel about midi skirts and dresses for us vertically challenged? I feel like that would just shallow me up and make me look even shorter.

    i ordered that ASOS Curve skirt in navy during last week’s 20% off of sale sale. I’m *so* excited for it to come in!

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.

The Mondays: March 18, 2024

This weekend was a tricky one. The warm weather and bright sunshine of last weekend disappeared in a flurry of wet snow trapping our very active 18-month-old in the house with us. Plus, our babysitter cancelled, so neither of us feels ready for the week ahead. But in between making mac-and-cheese and watching Aristocats for […]
