As pictured here on Ashley Olsen the "Ice Skating Skirt". It is more voluminous than the full skirt and has a hemline that hits above the knee. To quote Who What Wear Daily.com "In particular, this trend is perfect for our shorter readers , as it allows you to wear the full skirt style without looking dowdy.

Right now you’ll want to wear them with my favourite item and maybe yours too, the black opqaue tights. Add a "Waist Cincher" belt, this will highlight your waist and elongate your legs. An added bonus to this trend is that you'll get a lot of wear out of it, because the Spring 08 runways of Proenza Schouler and Donna Karan are showing similar skirts!


Ashley is either 5'1" or 5'3" different websites report different heights. I'm guessing closer to 5'1". Any thoughts?...
