b'WEEK 8: SWING OUT, SISTERFeminine and the perfect proportion player, a great fitting skirt has no competition, but first you need to find the right style for your shape.You need to avoid the various pitfalls: too tight on the hips; too loose on the waist; too long; too short and the entire spectrum of wishy washy frumpiness in-between. Good luck my stylish friend, your search will be worth it. This 1950s inspired F&F Couture skirt in houndstooth print overlaid onto floral is one such gem. The shape is perfect for me as it sits in on my waist, falls just on my knee and the inverted pleats gently skim over my hips, thus no lumps, no bumps and no breathing in! The pastel pinks and creams from this quirky Pringle knit ties in well and I dont go far without my trusty denim. Tip: I find that my posture changes when I pop a skirt on, hold yourself tall, ladies.
