Waist deep

This may be the only time in my life where I find the word, “mullet,” to be synonymous with classy.

It’s a style that many people are still learning to accept and to wear. Understandably so, for the whole “business in the front, party in the back,” adage is likely to warrant skeptiscm from even the most fashionable of folk.

I find it a risk worth taking and as “hi-lo” is starting to become commonplace and rampant amongst the stores, many people are wondering how to pull it off without looking too trendy or on the other end of the spectrum, shabby and unkempt with uneven hem lines. Body proportion, specifically height, is a main factor in whether or not you would want to opt for this type of garment. Having the back of your dress skim the pavement, whether you’re 5′ feet or 5’9 is ultimately going to capsize any type of look you are going for. Test your garment out with both flat shoes and heels before making your final judgement.

I chose this skirt for its floatiness, its lighter than air texture, and subtle dip-dye pattern. The neutral colors also gave me room to play with what I paired on the top. I could dress it up with little booties for fall, or metallic sandals to make it less fancy. Seeing as it hit me higher up on the waist, a cropped shirt or one with shorter dimensions would help balance the look. My blush sweatshirt fit the bill and a long glitzy necklace threw it all together. This wouldn’t be my choice for everyday wear, but any type of outing with friends would be an appropriate forum for displaying my new threads.
