This skirt is really short if you try to wear it like high waisted jeans. I pulled it down so it was sort of mid-low rise and it was long enough and wore a longer shirt with it. The other weird thing is that when the gold shine is applied onto the skirt it picks up all of the bumps from the other side so there is an imprint of the back pockets on the front. It doesn't look terrible but I would prefer it didn't have that. Also, this is shinier in person than you might think.
