1. The Awkward Girl’s Guide to Midi Skirts and How to Wear

This tip is one that most people probably know, and it basically says that if you’re wearing volume on the bottom, you can’t ALSO have volume on the top, and vice-versa. If you, too, are a magical fashion unicorn, you might just be able to pull it off, but if you’re just a regular person like me, you’ll probably find that circle-cut midi skirts will look better worn with a top that’s both fitted and cropped (or tucked, in this case). You need to define the waist to make the volume work, basically, so anything that can be described using the words “slouchy” or “oversized” is best left to the Pinterest girls – or worn with a midi skirt that’s more fitted:

2. Proper Fit
I bought the top in the picture on the left years ago, not realizing that it was way too long for me. And even after I realized it was too long I still wore it for a while thinking it looked okay. But now when I look at the difference between that top and a top that hits at the proper part of my hip, I can’t believe I wore the long top. It looks kind of unpolished compared to a shorter one.

3. Professional Help (my suggestion)

Is your closet running over and you have nothing to wear? Have a professional wardrobe consultant to go through your closet and see what works best on you.
Here is a great story from a few years back:
A good friend had an professional image consultant in to check her professional look before transitioning on the job. Part of the service meant going through her closet. After building quite a pile of "Good Will" donations she commented, "Wow, these are going to make some hooker very happy".
Nothing like a critical eye to help.
Nice hacks Rhonda.
