A Perfect Pair

Everywhere I look, either a magazine, blog, or my job at a local boutique, I find that the skirts are getting longer and the shirts are getting shorter. Both items are big this spring and can instantly update any wardrobe. 

One thing to keep in mind when playing with these trends without one another is proportion. A maxi skirt should be paired with nothing to over-size because the length of the skirt already adds enough volume. Crop tops are not to be worn with low-rise jeans but the new high-waisted ones (that are everywhere) or high-waisted shorts. If you follow these guidelines, I assure you that you will not resemble A) a bag lady or B) a streetwalker.
