The Long Story


I'm a rather short girl, and I think I've complained about that a few times. Ok, perhaps I'm of a rather average height, but when I surround myself with images from the fashion world I feel tiny. Lately, though, I've been wearing high heels pretty much all the time, and I think this has made me consider myself a bit taller than I really am. One result of this is that I want to wear clothes that often look better on tall people, like maxi skirts/dresses.

I've been rightclick+save-ing anything ankle-length I've come across lately, and the other day I found a blog that really fuelled this maxi obsession. The blog, My Daily Style, is mostly written in Spanish, but you don't need to know the language to appreciate the style. I've also been browsing online stores and streetstyle blogs, and this post is an outlet for some of the images I've gathered. Now I just have to find the perfect dress/skirt to purchase...

  1. I love this trend and I think I can afford to wear long skirts (I'm 172 cm. tall) but I don't know why I look like a strange goth with them!

  5. oh, i know exactly what you're talking about, since i'm also very tiny. i especially love the stockholm streetstyle girl/pic and i think even a girl of our small frame could pull this off!

    by the way: have given up wearing heels (only wear them occasionally), because i think that many outfits simply look better/more laid-back with flats.

  10. It's really interesting to see that the maxi-skirt is making a come back! And I love it when it is paired with a blazer.
