the longest...

I've definitely bitten on the long skirt thing- it feels totally glam and natural to me now to have a skirt swishing an inch or two below the knee.  That being said, I have a hard time going all the way.  I have had maxi skirts in the past- it makes for a nice columnar silhouette.  I think all of my stylings are more Victorian librarian than free boho hippy, however!  There have never been any maxi dresses in my life- a pretty one from Old Navy several years ago, but it went back right away.  Maybe this year?

I have had this ankle-length red and black checked skirt from Urban Outfitters forever- I'm tempted to say about 10 years, though it could even be more!  It comes out for a ride several times a year, however the sad thing is, this baby is only, only ever worn with black, maybe with a touch of red. I just never know what to do with Black and Red together.  At least I can get past that colour block for some pattern play, anyway!

In summer, my neighbourhood is all leafy and green.  Not yet, it appears- everything is still rather post-apocalyptic and grey at the moment!
