Normally I tend towards showing a little leg, but these two longer skirts really caught my attention and I had to share:

Both appeal to me because of both practicality AND style – I like the slight pleating, I like the implication of movement, I like that I can wear either with flat foot boots and not have a stylistic problem. When the economy busts, the hemlines tend to lower, and right now, they’re lowering with style. While I’ve stayed off the economic discussion – it impacts everything, but it’s hard to say a lot about it worth saying in the fashion realm beyond “don’t charge that!”
