It's been getting harder to get a skirt with a nice length (around knee-length or just right above the knees). My boyfriend sent me a link about skirt extender, but I'm not sure if it can be shipped to Singapore.
Anyway, I finally found a nice skirt that is not too short. I spent a little time window shopping early morning before the shops opened yesterday with my patient boyfriend (*cough*) and managed to identify some places that sell gorgeous skirts in Singapore:
1. JRunway (Plasa Singapura)
I found a knee-length fake leather flare skirts here ^^ So happy!!!
2. bYSI
I also saw some nice skirts at the Bugis Junction outlet here.
3. H&M
A bit difficult to get the correct size and length for dresses, but still possible (through hard work and repetitive trying).
The reason why I posted this was I really feel that it's not easy to find skirts that are not too short nowadays. Most 'normal' skirts nowadays are halfway your thigh (literally halfway) and more and more people dare to wear 1/4-thigh-skirts (mini skirts?). However, recently I noticed that midi-skirts are getting popular too (good sign!) and unsurprisingly, these girls that I saw just in MRT or shopping malls were also attractive. Even if people are short (like me; I'm 152cm-'tall'), we don't need halfway-thigh-skirt to look good! It's also good to check if the cutting is okay (body shape matters!). I don't like to use the word 'mini-skirt' because many people still think that mini-skirt is not nice, but halfway-thigh-skirts are perceived as 'normal'. However, if we can wear skirts with a flattering length, why do we bother to waste money for something normal but not nice?
"Skirts should never ride high up the thigh when sitting. A just-above-the-knee length is the most flattering and can be adjusted to an acceptable length while sitting."
(Mary Sheehan Warren, "It's so You!", page 77)
Anyway, after attending a few different talks or reading more sources on fashion and image, the message is the same: the focal point should be our face ^^ So if any of your friends are wondering and in 'dilemma' whether they should get a crop-top or not, whether they should go ahead with a halfway-thigh skirts or not, we should encourage them to say that they are pretty and they look better with clothes that direct people's eyes to their face rather than their belly button or their thighs. ^^
