Wear a Maxi Skirt

For years I have thought that maxi skirts and dresses were not for me - and for other petite (short) women. Few years ago I bought a maxi dress to wear on my honeymoon. I didn't end up wearing it during my vacation, but I wore it few times during Summer back in my country. You can see an outfit of the day featuring that same dress here. After 3 years since my first maxi dress purchase, I bought a maxi skirt at the end of last Summer - black and pleated. I wore it once with a safari shirt (outfit here), another time with a burgundy top (check the outfit), and one more time during Fall with a denim shirt. Now that the weather is getting warmer I felt like wearing it again. This time, however, I wore it once as a midi skirt and another time as a dress. From a maxi skirt it turned into a maxi dress. Because I liked both looks, I want to share them with you. I also want to say that if you are petite and are afraid of your body getting lost in all the fabric which comes with a maxi skirt or dress, don't. You can wear a maxi skirt as well as a maxi dress, as long as you do the following:

1. Cinch your waist

2. Wear your maxi skirt as a midi length so you can see some leg - which can make you appear taller

3. Wear a maxi skirt with a tight top, to balance the flowy skirt

4. Go for a monochromatic look - like the black on black outfit below

5. Wear a smaller bag - otherwise you will look even smaller.
