What to wear with a sheer black pleated maxi skirt?
A maxi skirt is the hardest thing to wear if you’re under 5ft3 (which I am), and for a long time, I vowed to stay well away from them. Before the days of YouTube and Blogs, I actually used to watch tv (really!) and in my mid-teens, I grasped on to every word of Trinny and Susannah! I learned that petite ladies should always wear skirts and dresses that fall above the knee, anything under the knee will make you look short.
For the top, I’d stick to something really simple – so nothing frilly, nothing chiffon, nothing bagging, no embellishments, nothing. I’ve made the mistake before by wearing all of those things in one top and it just makes me feel self-conscious and uncomfortable. Like what was I thinking when I wore that top with that red maxi skirt?
wow, you look so stylish dear!

I'm really short too, and as much as I love maxi skirts, I've always been too scared to wear them. You look wonderful in yours, maybe I should just bite the bullet and buy one myself : )

I love this skirt. I'm 5'1 so tend to avoid long skirts and dresses – it's hard to find ones that aren't a foot too long! x
You look stunning! This style suits you a lot!

You're looking fabulous in the maxi skirt, I'm petite myself so I've avoided maxi's but having seen this on you lovely I'm definitely thinking about investing before the summer is out.

I LOVE this outfit! I have just ventured into the realms of maxi skirts this year, and absolutely love them now. I totally agree that wearing it more high waisted looks far better on me- otherwise I look so wide-hipped and short. Not a good look! (Yours is lovely though) xx
You always look so pretty in everything you wear 🙂
keep up the good work, love this blog!!

You look amazing! I have a very similar skirt bought from a cheap store in Mong Kok. You've convinced me to dig it out and wear it soon!
wow I am so in love with this outfit! 🙂
as I said before, I love that necklace! also, your patternedd blazer is gorgeous! 🙂 I absolutely love how that skirt looks on you, I love how the lining is shorter, it's original without revealing too much!

you look gorgeous. I love everything about this look!! 🙂 xx
Hey – I am 5ft3, too! YAY! {celebrations over!} I love my maxi-dresses and despite what Trinny and Susannah say (and god knows I love them!) I don't feel it makes me look shorter at all. Especially when it starts around my waist – it's quite the opposite. When it's the right length – around your ankles, more or less, it's perfect!

You really can do no wrong in my eyes! I always find myself stuck staring at your photos for ages before I read what you've written. Not in a creepy way though. There's just something so nostalgic about your blog.

Oh goshh I LOVE this post! you look super cute, and I can understand why maxi skirts can be a bit of a pain for you! I'm about 5'4, and I sometimes struggle with long dresses and maxi skirts too! It's so difficult to find the perfect ones! This one you're wearing looks so lovely on you.. what a great buy! 🙂
Lots of love,

Have you heard? Fashion designer Marc Jacobs is a cruel manipulator. He cruelly tortures a young designer called Angel Barta. He's been using her talent for 5 years. Read the shocking details and spread the truth! http://styleangelique.blogspot.hu/2013/03/marc-jacobs-thief-of-century-who.html
That jacket is killer. Wow. Adore it.
Your photos are really beautiful as well 🙂

Aw such a cute jacket 🙂
I'm 5'3.5" and have always gone for skirts/pencil skirts just before the knee or full on maxis to the floor. One extreme or the other! I think it's really just the midi that we shorties could never really get away with (or maybe that's just me, haha!)
