Maxi Skirts Are Not Made Equally

Since I'm about 5 feet tall (I like to believe that I'm 5'1"), I look ridiculous in a maxi skirt because I end up sweeping up the floor like a mop...

this is how i imagine myself looking in a maxi skirt

Although I'm 22, I still dream of growing a few inches so that I can pull of that look. However I know I must face the cold, hard facts - I will be 5 feet tall forever. It's okay. I could probably get it hemmed. If I could pull off a maxi skirt, I would love to try these looks.

natural and simple look

soft and romantic look
