I had never given midi-skirts a chance in the past because I was certain that my body type was the epitome of what couldn't wear one: being only 5'3 with legs that could be described as "sturdy" by some (see here), it just didn't seem in the cards for me to look good in this spring's ever popular skirt shape. Slipping on this Club Monaco beauty has changed my mind: The Pamera not only surprisingly worked for my stature and build, but the pleats danced beautifully in the wind and the piece made me feel pretty the instant I put it on. I think it is safe to say that I am now a believer that the midi skirt can work for anyone.

Such gorgeous photos! : ) The skirt looks great on you and it's giving a petite like myself some inspiration!
ReplyDeleteAHH You look so adorable! I absolutely looooove the fit of the skirt, I have to agree with you on the SOME skirt lengths being unflattering on us petite girls. This however looks fantastic! :) TOO CUTE JEN <3
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! You look fabulous in the midi skirt :)
ReplyDeleteLove the midi skirt on you!! I've never thought about trying a midi skirt.. maybe I will soon! You pull off feminine pieces so well.
ReplyDeleteIn response to your comment, I'm headed to HK and China! :) I've only been there once when I was 1!! haha so I'm kinda nervous..

For "sturdier" legs, I find that the application of a right shoe is what makes the midi skirt work. No flats or anything chunky.
ReplyDeleteBut you deployed it very beautifully here. The blush shade goes very nicely with your skin tone.
You look stunning! I am so in love with your skirt!

I had a fear of maxi skirts for the longest time for the exact same reason- I'm 5'2" and almost anything that isn't fitted can easily make me look like I'm a little kid dressing up in my mom's clothes. But once I went for it, I realised that as long as you style something right, you can wear it no matter what your size or shape. I still hesitate with maxis, mainly because I tend to trip over the hem, but midis are my absolute favourite. There's something so feminine and elegant about the cut that you've embodied perfectly in these shots. I absolutely love the first one- you look adorable :)
ReplyDeletexox,
Cee
I've been eyeing pleated mini skirts for a while! You look beautiful as always Jen :) I'm still not convinced it will work for me though - I guess I will have to try a couple out.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty outfit. Loving that bag
ReplyDeleteI love your photos and your outfit!It looks so effortless and relaxed.Great job!

Have a nice week!
what beautiful pictures & such a pretty outfit!!
ReplyDeleteI am such a fan of the midi skirt, but being short I didn't think it would be right for me either...until I tried one on! Glad you took the plunge too, you look absolutely lovely in this Club Monaco skirt...gorgeous outfit!

you look so lovely, Jen! the pleats + soft peach color is so gorgeous together.
ReplyDeleteAahhhhh such beautiful photographs! Fotowok is amazing :) And is that the bf in the first photo? We need to see more of him :D
ReplyDeleteI also fell in love with the Pamela skirt the moment I saw it at the store. So soft and demure. But I still can't just justify the price tag *tears*. Hoping it'll go on sale sometime soon so I can snag it right away :D
You look AMAZING, Jen. ALWAYS :)

This must be the most ebautiful midi skirt i've seen so far! and you look very pretty while wearing it! x
ReplyDeleteYou always remind me that things that normally don't work on petites, really can, if done well.
ReplyDeleteI never thought Midi skirts could look complimentary on Petites, yet here you are, looking ravishing and polished as always.
I really like the Pamera skirt on you! Pleats are yes pleats. (See what I did there?) :)

you look so pretty!! i love the pictures! <3
ReplyDeleteAs if your body isn't suited for anything and everything haha. I love the way you styled this skirt, and good choice on the colour, I think it suits you so perfectly. You look gorgeous as per usual and these photos are exquisite!

I am super in love with your shoes and bag. Ugggggh, gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI am 5'1", and I feel like a midi skirt and I are NOT meant for each other. I have extremely short legs, so I try to go with short skirts. I don't even wear maxi skirts, despite how awesome I think they look.
But you give me hope.
So thanks. :)
this IS the perfect length for you! i really like the colour and pleating too. yay we're the same height with fiercely real legs hehe :) fabulous jen as always!

You look so pretty in this skirt. I wouldn't have thought leopard and blush chiffon would've gone together so well, but this unexpected combination works on you.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I really think I need to get the Pamera now. I picked it up then put it down but it looks so amazing on everyone and I loveee the blush colour. Love how you paired it with the leopard print!

that first picture is adorable. i love the soft pretty colours in this outfit - and that skirt definitely looks great on you :) club monaco's spring/summer collection is breath-taking!

love the skirt! beautiful pictures!!
ReplyDeletegreat outfit, nice shoes
ReplyDeleteomgoodness i love this post! You look adorable in that skirt! you've inspired me to go search for one now! ;) I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteNot to mention that these photos are adorable!
Great skirt, it's a lovely length on you. And your legs are definitely not sturdy.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and gorgeous outfits! I need to get this skirt asap. It's a great length on you! I have the same issue with you when it comes to longer skirts (harder for me because I'm only 5 ft). I've tried maxi skirts and even with 4 inch heels, it doesn't look the same. I'll definately give this a try! It's a great colour, too.

ReplyDeleteSuch a feminine look with a hint of edge. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI am so, SO in love with this!! So gorgeous! I am smitten with this style of skirt, and the pale pink just makes it all the more gorgeous! The fact that you paired it with leopard is beyond perfect! GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful here. I love the necklace & how you paired the skirt with the print.. Have a great weekend! -xo

Jen dear, there's nothing you can't do. I mean that. Your fashion intuition is a genuine talent and you know just how to pair things to flatter your figure (which I don't think could ever be un-flattered anyway). And you bring it all together into the chicest ensembles. I love seeing you approach things that have "rules" attached and then break them with your fabulous aplomb. Keep it up, chica!
ReplyDeleteyou are extremely pretty!

well i seriously missed the boat on your amazing giveaway Jen, big fail for sure. thanks for tipping me off, i came over but that darn blogger was down and then things sped so fast that i couldn't make it here till today. sure hope the conundrum didn't affect you too badly!
ReplyDeletei've loved this CM skirt from afar for a while and your blush vs. is a beaut. i honestly can't believe you're 5'3, in these photos on your blog you seem so statuesque. i'm liking the balance of your longer length cardy and then the dark spots to ground the lighter shades. nicely done, as always!!! you inspire me to no end. the cherry blossoms are the perfect backdrop, exquisite photo composition. ♥
That might just be the perfect neutral/pleated skirt: Love it!
