Mini, Midi, Maxi

Thursday, July 28th, 2011

When it comes to the length of the dress or a skirt, I always prefer very, very short. But this summer, I don’t mind having a little bit of variety in my closet, at least for the dresses. Long, short or in the middle, these ladies look good in their dresses! My three favorite dresses in different lengths! 1. Surrender Leopard Dress $180.00 (generalpants.com.au) 2. Fair Harven L/A White Crochet Dress $159.95 (generalpants.com.au) 3. CALYPSO St. Barth Tie Neck Maxi Dress $175.00I love how these ladies styled their skirts, especially with a big statement belt!
I can’t say no to a leather skirt! 1. KAIN Washed-silk tank $155.00 (Netaporter.com) 2. Leather Short Skirt $115.00 (Mango.com) 3.Valentino Studded Kitten Heel Sandal $436.83 (nathalieschuterman.com)4. Dannijo Delu Necklace $270.00 (Dannijo.com) 5.Β ALEXANDER WANG Zip-detailed square-frame acetate sunglasses $390.00 (Netaporter.com) 6. Layla Lock Sling Bag $14.95 (Sportsgirl)

Which one do you like best? Mini, Midi or Maxi?

  1. I have almost all lengths in my closet. Love Maxis though. Loving the style picks you have.

    Some times midi looks very elegant and feminine but mini is always my taste! Maxi requires a veeeeery tall model to make a pretty shooting but even in real life…
    I just love the leather mini look you created!!!!!!!! Killer skirt and those Valentinos… I just love them.

    I love them all – i think though at the mo i am fashion loving the midi, the maxi is a fashion must esp in summer and then the mini is such a basic esp at your age with your legs!! x

    For some reason, I haven’t been able to embrace maxi skirts this year. I think part of the reason is that I find it hard to wear a practical shoe with them (I think they look best with heels…and considering how much walking I do in the city heels aren’t always practical!), and also I can only wear them a limited amount of time before snow/rain/crappy weather arrives for half the year πŸ˜› I do like them on other people though, and it’s great you’re embracing all styles! I’m really crushing on that leather skirt…I’m still searching for the perfect one…

    Hi Dear! How are you? I’m having a very busy week, but hey tomorrow weekend starts!I like the middle outfit -lady with the hat! If I could wear it that would be my choice. I also like your outfit proposal at the bottom-great shoes:) xoxox

  37. I personally love the 3 lengths, they have all something different that make a look unique -just depends on the mood of the day! Hope you’re doing well, the weekend comes soon ; )
    Bisous!

  38. Ow ow! That outfit you put together is HOT. I’ve always strayed away from the midi length skirts but now I’m a fan. LOVE that white crochet dress from General Pants. They always have such cute stuff!

    Finally emailed you back! πŸ™‚ Hope you’ve been well!

  41. kavery says:

    Whatever the length a dress is so simple and easy to wear. I love the Valentino kitten heels.

  42. I think the length of the skirt really depends on a girl’s mood. I think they’re all lovely, but which one I wear just depends on how I feel on any given day . I do not discriminate when it comes to skirts. =)

    Mmm i think i rather maxi and mini, midi not much cause i’m small and to wear something at the knees level makes me look shorter i think. Nice leather skirt btw!

  48. Lisa Maria says:

    Those valentino kitten heels have been on my wish list! I’ve been playing around with mid-length skirts, but I always feel like the accentuate my short, short stature. I’m going to have to go with the extremes!

  49. Lisa Maria says:

    Those Valentino kitten heels are so amazing! I’ve been trying to play around with mid-lengths but they end up accentuating my short, short stature. I’ll have to go with the extremes!

  50. I always thought I was a maxi fan, but looking at your article has made me realize midi length skirts have a special place in my heart – so classy and elegant.
    Still, there’s a perfect place and event for most any length. Love the post!

  62. I find midis are actually the trickiest of the three to get right, but I’ve been crazy about maxis this year! I think they’re so beautiful and easier to wear than anything else. Great selection as usual love, hope you’re having a great Friday!
