Lesson Four: How to Wear a Short Skirt
1. Where the skirt hits your legs is not the issue. Choose a skirt that hits your waist and hips at the right place. You’ll look skinny if the skirt skims your hips and makes your body look longer, regardless of how fat your thighs are. Being the exemplary IS that I am, my thighs are really skinny, but if you pretend yours are skinny too, everyone will believe you.
2. Hemlines were meant to be shredded.
3. Wear it with flats. Skimmer sneakers even. We’ll just call you Mischa.
4. When sitting on the floor of a boy’s apartment, pay no regard to the fact that you’re not sitting cross legged. Try and scoot the skirt up with the friction of the rug. It’s a good thing.
6. When in doubt, go a little shorter.
