Let’s chat about hemlines shall we? I have been watching ever so closely the runway shows for spring 2011 and what has to be one of the most prevailing trends I see is the floor length skirt. I have mixed feelings on this, in theory it can be very chic. More is less? It can also go so horribly wrong if not worn correctly. Let’s be honest – I am sure most of us are not going for the look of 1840′s farmer’s daughters or worse yet the dazed and confused era of the 90′s either. The key to the long skirt? Simplicity.

Even more ridiculous is you have to wonder how practical is a floor lenght skirt? It has pro’s certainly. You dont have to shave your legs. That’s a plus. Of course then when you trip and fall because it gets caught up in your legs while running after a toddler – well then everyone can see you have not shaved your legs – so that is most certainly a negative. The more that I think about this trend however I realize that there is something so wonderfully feminine about not having to run around in a mini skirt and know that you can you may be flashing the other mom’s at the park when picking up your children’s toys.

Allie’s foolproof ways to wear the long skirt:

1. Add a simple tank top, cute flat shoots and a vintage denim jacket for the perfect daytime look.
2. Clogs or wedge sandals and a sheer wrap ballet inspired top with long necklaces are the perfect way to head out to dinner.
3. A oversize sweater, a larger belt worn around your hips and a boyfriend tee make it a easy chic outfit for a playdate.

See this lovely mommy to be rocking the long skirt? Perfection!
