The Blue Plaid Skirt

You asked for it, you got it.  The blue plaid skirt!

Isn't it the cutest skirt you've ever seen?  I love it.

The only question I have for you is... what length?  In the first two pictures, I'm wearing it long; in the third picture, I raised it a little.  Your opinion counts, so please vote!

  1. Third picture, all the way! I like the hint of leg showing between your boots and the skirt.

  2. I like the 3rd picture. The best ever lenght is a little above or under the knees :).

  3. Love the third length best! Love x3 the purple and yellow combo.

  4. I'd have to go with the shortest length. You have AMAZING legs, it'd be a sin not to show them off a smidge! =]

  7. I'm trying to look at the geometry of it and think of it that way. It looks like the shoulder to waist is equidistant to the waist to hem in the most flattering length. Similarly, the shoulder to shoulder length is roughly equidistant to the "left to right" edges of this (fuller than you typically wear) skirt. I think those proportions create a very flattering and feminine visual impact.

    Maybe thinking of it that way may be helpful in constructing future outfits?

  10. Shorter is better - just past the knee is the longest you should go. Love a nice kilt!

  11. Thanks for all of your feedback, guys. It really helps!

    Freeda, your analysis is sound but seems to require some high-level math... In constructing outfits, do I need a calculator? :)

  12. I'm a bit late, but just throwing in that I like it shorter, too. :)

  15. Definitely the shorter length. And with some knee-high boots in a cool cognac color. Also, that yellow is a great color for you.

    I feel the same way about oversized sweaters on women (like you commented on my blog today). I love anything where the sleeves are way too long too.

    xo,

  16. YES!!!!!!
    That skirt totally rocks. It is perfect. I can imagine it being worn with a black sweater and pearls....
    However I do agree that you could have it shortened just a bit, then again you could just roll it up at the waist.
