How To: Wear a fashionable longer skirt for fall

This ain't your mother's long hippie skirt from the '70s. While a few months ago we would have never thought we'd wear a dress longer than our knees, fall fashion is dictating that the long skirt - and by long we mean down to the ankles - is back in style.

But given that we haven't worn such conservative girly attire in ages, how the hell do we pull this trend off without looking like our school librarian? Check out this styling video to find out.

Microminis are great for their leg-lengthening sex appeal, but they make everyday tasks (exiting the subway, tying your shoes, sneezing) downright risqué.

In today's video, NYC-based stylist Peju Famojure has brand recommendations, styling suggestions, and advice for wearing them with socks and heels.
