The LONG and SHORT of it.
I am a firm believer that curvy girls can wear high waisted skirts. They can! When styled correctly, it's a fun, feminine silhouette. Topping my outfit with my cropped jean jacket threw the proportions off on this ensemble. Without the jacket, I looked awesomesauce. I've run into the problem before ( see this post.) I should know better right?
If you could see it without the jacket, you'd see what I saw when I envisioned it/put it on. The skirt is an egg shell color pleated high waisted midi skirt from Shabby Apple. I won a gift card to Shabby Apple from Penniless Socialite back in the fall. I had not worn this skirt yet, so I wanted it to make it's debut in the warm 50 ° weather we were having.
It helps when I remember to reapply lipstick. I can't believe how much of a difference it makes in pictures!
That is a perfect blogger bun right there!
Moral of the story: No cropped jackets over long skirts over tall boots on a curvy 5'2" wannabe fashionista. Just say NO, Ash!

I think you look lovely! And I love your hair up in a bun :) I have problems with proportions sometimes too... it can be difficult to remember! I think the outfit looks just fine with the jacket! LOVE this pleated skirt too!
I agree with Rachel. I think your outfit it cute with the jacket! That skirt is so pretty.
Love the denim jacket paired with the white skirt - it's such a great combo. Glad you've been getting some lovely weather!
I like it from the front with the jacket. Just not the side view? Does that make sense? Looking at the pictures it's not as bad as I thought!
Thanks Ally. I am looking at it now and it looks fine. I'd still prefer a longer jacket though!
Thank you1 I usually buy light colored items and never wear them. I'm giving them a try though. It's a perfect Spring skirt!
Yep...when I wear longer skirts I have to wear heels or my legs look stumpy. The problems of us petite gals! I love how you put the gift card to use! I'd let the skirt shine without a jacket. High waists are just so chic!

For what it's worth, I'm 5'10" and I've made the same mistake re: cropped jackets. How else will we learn though? I think you look super cute - yay for warm(er?) weather!
That skirt is the cutest and will go with so much!
Next time I will. It was still chilly! It's warming up now though. Sort of.
I'm glad to know someone else knows what I'm talking about.
Thank you!
This skirt is really cute - I love the pleats!
Isn’t That Charming.
Thanks Emily. I bought it just for the pleats!
Pretty skirt!!
