Skirts, skirts, skirts

It's all about the skirt, one of the best pieces of clothing, whether it be the bubble skirt, the mini, maxi or midi, the pencil skirt, fifties style skirt......the list could go on. The fail-safe piece to make you feel instantly feminine. You actually take notice of the way you are sitting, and the effect can make you feel more girly, sophisticated, sexy.....As a jeans person I feel the benefits of the skirt more than a self-confessed skirt lover. I do love to wear a skirt, but it takes a lot to summon up the effort of having to worrying about where my legs are going for a whole day. Tights are of course a safety-blanket when it comes to taking the risk and a necessity unless the skirt in question happens to come to the knee (unless you are gifted in the legs department). But still the role of the skirt needs praise. Past the age of about twelve years old, skirts are no longer acceptable cute and frilly, and the days of rolling up your school skirt begins. As females we have all had a long term relationship with the skirt, whether you love it or hate it. This season the skirt has come out on top, and although the skirt of the season threatens to be the prim and proper midi, whether worn girl like Miu Miu or grown-up like Fendi, I have chosen to start with the short cute, ruffled floral printed style- worn with tights of course. And yes, I instantly felt more feminine- but it still won't take me too far away from my jeans.
