Thankfully, Spring 2007 is just around the corner, and along with it will finally come our much-missed warm-weather duds, like dresses and skirts. Perhaps grieved over most of all, when the snow and rain replace the coveted warmth of a summer day, is the mini.
This skirt, in its many forms—denim, pleated, cargo—is a true wardrobe staple among our stylish teen girls. But should we really ask that they wait until June to dig them out from the back of their closets, only to find that moths and dust had a similar affection for the same trend?
No, not any longer, thanks to a little solution for the dear little mini; now, while the tank tops may have a while longer to wait, wearing a miniskirt in the freezing morning hours of February and March is a cinch when you pair them with winter accessories.
Give parkas and cargo pants a rest and still dress for warmth by pairing your favorite miniskirts with tights. Ripstop Cargo Mini from Old Navy (with oversize pockets for storing the note your boyfriend passed you in 4th period) commands attention and withstands the winter weather when you dress it up for warmth with scarves (like Hot Topic’s White Skull and Pink Stitch Scarf and Glove Set) and tights.Choose Viola Fancies’ Shimmer Tights in Black or White to keep it subtle, or opt for something bold with Hot Topic’s Black With Pink Skull or Camo Print footless tights.
You can never go wrong with a denim mini, like Roxy’s Alexis Mini, in dark denim. Complete the look and keep feet warm with hot footwear; while awaiting sandal season, traditional winter boots can be replaced with a pair of funky sweater boots (UGGS are so yesterday!) from Jeffrey Cambell, or a sporty pair of high tops like Sketchers Somethin Else Canvas High Tops. For a more furry option, Sam and Libby’s Hawthorne boots are cozy and stylish, and will finish off any miniskirt with a style statement sure to get the rest of the school talking.
