Before & After: Midi Skirt

by Tracey C. Velt

The problem with a midi skirt is that it can look dowdy. Paired with a shapeless sweater, it just looks dumpy and frumpy.

Magpie Styling Tip: Heels help, but what’s really important here is to give your body some shape. This belt breaks up the frump and defines my waist. Another suggestion: wear it with a pretty blouse tucked in and a wide belt around the waist.
