The high-low skirt trend came onto the fashion scene right when I was pregnant so I missed out on trying this trend right when it was hot. Honestly, it wasn’t even really a trend that I thought much about as I didn’t think it would look good on a person with shorter thick legs like me. I’ve noticed that this trend has still stuck around so when I saw this pretty navy skirt at a reasonable price from Forever 21, I decided why not give it a shot. Years ago I never thought I’d wear skinny jeans for the same reason and now I wear them almost exclusively. I figure you just never know about these things!
I do think that after my first attempt with this skirt, I’m a bit on the fence. The skirt is definitely something I’d only wear on the weekends so my styling opportunities are limited. I do love the flowy fabric and the cut is a bit more slimming than I originally expected. I’ll have to give it a few more outfits to make up my mind!
Also, remember when I was lamenting about needing more emerald green in my closet? I’ve since picked up this top and really love the slim fit and feminine ruffle shoulder details. Our temperatures were back near the 90s again today so the sleeveless top was perfect for a day of running errands outside. It’ll also layer well under blazers and I’m definitely planning on wearing it all through Fall.
If you’re like me and curious about trying out the high-low skirt trend, here are a few affordable (all <$80) options:

Great outfit, Kileen! I don't own a high-low skirt cause I wasn't quite sure how to style it for work. Like you, I'd probably would only be able to wear it on the weekends, but it's never sunny enough in San Francisco. I love your top though.

I found that Ann Taylor does offer a more work-appropriate option here: http://popsu.gr/mXzp I haven't seen it in person so I'm not sure how it'll look, but it seems promising!

Hello! Do you know if they make any plugins to

2-liter (available only on SLT and Denali trims) delivers 420
hp and 460 lb. But with the broad hood expanse stretching out
front, there is no question when you are behind the wheel that you have a big, big vehicle at
your command. In non-cruise mode, the transmission and the
exhaust brake deliver the correct amount of braking to assist
in vehicle control, regardless of vehicle load.
