Yay or nay: maxi skirt

There was the maxi dress this summer. I wanted one. I got one. Here.

Now there is the maxi skirt... yay or nay?

My first opinion is, nay. Because it brings me not so good memories.

I remember wearing long skirts in high school, mostly denim ones. And they had a huge slit (often to the side) to be able to walk... so unpretty and so annoying.

I also remember wearing a long floral skirt. I was so proud of it, I bought it at Jacob (which was really expensive at the time). But, man, really?!

Since then, I thought long skirts were uncool and not flattering at all.

But after seeing them on a lot of bloggers... am I changing my mind?! The decisive point will be after trying one on.

I've seen different kinds of maxi skirts...
