If only I was a little bit taller.

I am completely and utterly in love with the midi skirt. The way it looks so elegant on, disguises your thighs and hugs you beautifully at the waist and the optimum fact that it seems to go with everything.

I told myself that I could definitely get away with the midi skirt. I rarely go out the house without wearing something high waisted in order to make my short legs appear slighter longer, so a high waisted midi skirt must work on my body.

I was wrong; being the fantastic height of 5.2 does have its major disadvantages. I tried on a sophisticated navy high waisted pleated skirt which fell just below the knee, and to my total annoyance it just drowned me.

I am however not going to give up; my friend Bethany always tells me that I should use my short height to my advantage by simply buying a pair of heels. According to Vogue I am going to have to be very careful with what pair I buy. I love running; therefore my calves are rather muscularly, therefore I need to avoid ankle straps and bold colours.

Personally I see the midi skirt as a total revolution- the photos accompanying this month’s Vogue article ‘The subtle allure of the midi’ by Lachlan Bailey are breathtaking. The model is beautiful, with Lachlan managing to catch her at the most fantastic angles. (If only I was as tall as her)

By the time summer is over, I will have bought a midi and I will most definitely have photographic evidence to show you.
