Happy Friday, I hope you all had a nice week! I’ll be honest, I didn’t love this one very much. We all have challenging days/weeks/months (January in Connecticut, anyone?), but life is a circle of ups and downs and if you’re going through hard times, it’s practically science that good times are on the way. And with that, the weekend is here…and a new month too. 🙂
In the midst of this chilly Winter, we’ve been lucky to have a small handful of bright, sunny, and warm(er) days. I recently took advantage of the 50-something temps to wear one of my favorite kinds of outfits and expose the teeniest bit of skin without turning into a freeze pop!
I’m a shorter girl (just about 5’1″) and pairing a higher waisted mini skirt with a snug top and some kind of heel is one of my go-to looks. No matter what time of year, I always find myself reaching for a mini! I have short legs and a short torso, but this combo gives the illusion of height. Except when I stand next to a super model lol…
I loved this combo! The top is from Primark, skirt is from The Limited (but snagged at consignment for a steal), boots are Carlos Santana, crossbody bag is Rebecca Minkoff, and nude sunnies are from Marshalls. I’m officially on the hunt for a few more skirts to add to my collection; I actually popped into Forever this week and found a ton in-store on super clearance (like, $3-$7 kind of clearance)! Here are a few that I’ve been eyeing…
What are some of your go-to pieces?
XOXO
I always feel great in boots and a mini skirt. I’m 5’7,so I’m a little taller. But, girl, you can rock a mini!!
Yes!! Boots and a mini skirt is such a fun combo — I think it works on most people! 🙂 Thanks for reading, I hope you have a great weekend! XO
We can all dream about being supermodel tall, but this combo does look great on you! Yes for the handful of days we get when it’s actually above freezing!

I don’t really mind being short, but I also don’t mind the illusion of a few extra inches! 😉 These warmer days have been so so nice – wish they were here to stay!! Have a great weekend girlfriend! XO
Loft has a super pretty mini like this one but with many colors and I thought of you when I saw it! I wish I could feel comfortable in a mini lol but like I said on IG I am head over heel in love with this look!! PS It’s looking like we’ll end up in CT, I hope we can meet again soon!
AHHHHH forget the skirt, the best part of this comment is that you may end up in CT!! How amazing!! We will 100000% be making plans – SO exciting!!! (And PS, thank you!! I’ll check out the LOFT mini! ;). ) XOXOXO
We definitely have to plan when it’s official! <3 your reply made me so happy!!!
