trend : long skirts

This trend has been growing for a long time, and I think it's finally here: the floor-length skirt. We've been seeing hems get longer, to below the knee and mid-calf, and interestingly these dropping hemlines tend to indicate a strengthening economy. Now if only I was brave enough to wear one of these! Though I will tell you, there is nothing more comfortable.

How the real people are doing it? It's a tough look, but you really just gotta treat them like pants.
