This look is interesting because it includes both top and skirt in the same pattern-stripes. I think it’s practical not to think too much about combining it, but to wear the both pieces in the same pattern! There is nothing wrong about that. Even though it looks a little bit more elegant, this outfit can be worn during the day, with some nice pair of sandals, or pointy-toe-pumps. Add some peonies if you would like to look exactly like the girl in the photo above!

This type of midi skirt is probably the most popular one. I know for sure that my mom loved wearing pleated midi skirts back in 80’s and 90’s. Now it’s popular again and easy to pair with modern pieces. In the photo above you can see the combination of pink skirt and simple cotton blouse. It gives you an opportunity to wear special shoes because there are no details on both pieces. Silver stilettos are the perfect choice for this combination to make it really interesting.
Crop Top and Midi Look

When I was younger I used to wear crop tops a lot. It was very popular back in the 90s’ and every girl wanted to own this piece of cloth. Wearing crop top and high waist skirt will definitely help you feel and appear younger. I suggest putting it on for occasions, such as going out dancing or for a drink in a bar. Wear it with eye-catching earrings and classic black sandals (like in the photo above) and you will not need any other detail to complete this outfit.

Did you ever try wearing knitted stuff? My grandmother used to make me a lot of sweaters, shirts, and tops, but honestly, I never tried knitting high waist skirt for myself.
In the photo above, we have black turtleneck and mustard ribbed knit midi skirt paired with black ankle boots. For us girls, who are not experienced in combining knitting skirts, this is a perfect solution. This outfit looks classy and chic with a slight note of old times when people used to wear more knitted stuff. I like the idea of adding this small burgundy bag, to give a perfectly balanced modern look.
Knotted Floral Blouse Look

Tucking the blouse in the midi skirt is always a good idea. It is even better if the pattern is floral! If you are feeling lazy and not in the mood for combining and getting dressed, this is a good option. Black midi and floral blouse go perfectly together. If you want to look even better, tie the knot, like in the photo above and add a nice piece of jewelry.
As you can see in this post, you can wear high waist midi skirt for any occasion. Along with white a shirt, black blazer and trench coat, high waist midi skirt is an important garment to have in the closet. This will allow you to make a killer combination in just a few minutes, despite where you are going.
