the middle man

hello everyone! how do you like 'bombay bubble's' new look? also, i apologize for the prolonged hiatus. i've been down with a bad case of blogger's block. (yes that totally is a thing!)
.
anyway, in my desperate search for inspiration, i stumbled upon a trend i'm quite excited about - the mid length skirt! for years, the mini was the belle coquette of fashion - everyone wanted to wear one. then, we all fell for the laid-back, boho allure of the maxi. 
.
if you haven't noticed already, fashion bores quick! we're already on to the next big thing - full,40's style mid-lengths! i already ran out to the zara sale and got myself one of these and i just love how it makes me feel all school-marmy / granny-ish in an ironic way!
.
i'm going to be pairing mine with leather jackets, faux fur gilets and ankle boots throughout the fall. if you're not nearly as convinced as i am, here are a few street style inspirations to get you in the mood!

bisou bisou,

Bonniela : I think now's the time to invest in one! :)

Niki : The good thing about these skirts is that they skim over curves and hide your lower half. You can always wear a pair of heels with it to add height :)

Pithsala : I agree! :)

ClassyandFabulous : Aww thankyou!
