So, I got this lovely floral skirt from Target about a month ago and thought it was about time I finally get some wear out of it. As you know, if you’ve read my posts before, skirts stress me out. I never know what top to pair with them and short people like myself can look frumpy very easily in an ill-fitting skirt.
I decided to throw caution to the wind and give it a go anyway. This skirt intrigued me because it combines a few trends that are big right now. Of course floral prints are always big in the spring and you may not see it in the pictures but this is a wrap skirt. The best feature of this skirt is the high-low hem, sometimes called a shark bite, or asymmetrical hem. It depends on how much the length varies but the hem starts out shorter in the front and gets longer as it goes back. High-low hems are popping up on maxi dress, tops, skirts, and even jackets. If you haven’t seen this trend yet, you will very soon notice it everywhere.
Since I didn’t know what to pair it with, I kept it simple. I paired a simple v-neck tee in the same color scheme which I think worked out pretty well because a lot of people thought I had on a dress. Since it was cold, I put on a grey cardigan and purple heels because apparently a loud floral skirt isn’t a big enough pop of color for me. Skirts make me realize just how short my torso is but hey, we gotta work with what we have. what do you think?
Loving the asymmetric skirt this season, I’ve already picked up a couple different styles
