Sweet little summer skirt



Two things I'm loving right now are high-waists and long legs. I'd snap this skirt up in a heartbeat if it were closer to my waist size, since it would be perfect with flats for a picnic, and knock-out with heels for a night out.

Armour Sans Anguish Gathering Flowers Skirt $74. For a 27.5" waist.

p.s. I'm probably the last person to have figured out the following belt-tying trick (and I did it right after big waist belts stopped being cool!) but in case there's still someone out there who is as slow as I am and wants to mimic the model here... To turn a normal belt into a waist belt, buckle it at the right place, then tie a square knot with the too-long loose end around the main belt part. Bad explanation of a crazy simple solution! I'm still kicking myself that it never occurred to me before... Lately I've even been wearing M's big belts with my Del Fortes!
