Pleated, longer length skirts are everywhere this season, and although I love the look of a full-bodied midi, they just look odd on me. And trust me, I’ve tried on my fair share this spring! I finally found this cute one in a super versatile navy (my favorite color). It’s on trend – although perhaps not the super trendy mid-calf length – and tough to pass up at under $50 (with a discount). The shirt is probably over a decade old, but the classic navy and white stripe look is one of my favorites so I never part with this staple. Check out the “Currently Craving” sidebar to see the midis I’m loving if only I had the extra budget and the extra two or three inches of leg.

If it bums you out in any way then chuck it. (; I’ve come to realize that lots of things just are not going to work again, courtesy of the wee ones. (;
