Thrifty Finds: The Midi Skirt....

OK, so I am a little obsessed with midi length skirts especially when I can get them at a thrift store for a fraction of the cost that their new unused counterparts would be.  Since I am not very tall with super long legs I always make sure to pair them with one of my many platform heels to make sure that the cute look I have envisioned in my head doesn't turn out frumpy.  After putting this outfit together I kind of felt like a modern version of a librarian.

    This outfit is lovely. I was browsing a mid-length skirt at American Apparel the other day and you're so right about the price. I had to leave it behind.

    As least you're having luck finding such great midi skirts at thrift stores. I'm dulling in that department. :o( But I will prevail! lolol.

    Anywho, you look great! Wrapping the scarf around your neck as a 'necklace'? Great D.I.Y.
