The Spring runways offered up some interesting, and, at times, challenging looks. (Prints on prints is not an easy one to pull off.) Perhaps the most perplexing item is the midi skirt. How on earth does a stylish girl wear it without looking like a librarian from an '80s movie?

Designers have a slew of options, from polished to retro stripes, all of which are not only wearable, but will look quite chic. Go for loose silhouettes paired with cute tops (tucked in) for a properly pulled together look.
