i love mini dresses, i think they look good on me. i'm not a pretty much tall girl, so wearing dresses those length more than my knees wouldn't be really nice. except i'm wearing maxi dresses with super tall heels! :) that's what i usually wear, when i'm bored with mini dresses. :)
xx
Very inspirational post i must say :)
Amen, CC, I love minis. But now that I'm older they need to have some substance/flair/detail to them. I particularly adore the Gryphon sequin wave mini. Sporstfirl currently have an exact replica in store and I've been eye-f&*king it for days now ;)
Glad you're having a fab week, here's to an even better latter half bella
I love minis! (even I don't have the legs to wear them actually)
OH CC, so beautiful! I love throwing leather jackets over dresses and skirts. That two-toned grey and white skirt is adorable as is the grey ruffled knit skirt. *sigh* xx
Very cool. Dig that painted brow look, I'll have to look into that for a new illo.
oh my .. hope i've super skin body to wear those mini dresses =D
these minis are hot!
you really scored with those chloe booties :)
I love, love, LOVE! Valentino Couture. Last time a wore a skirt was exactly 15 years ago. Isn;t it terrible!? I am moved by your post to try on mini.Better late than never!:-)))

Stella McCartney makes the sandals and everything else she's wearing!! I mentioned it in the post ;)
http://www.hottheels.blogspot.com
haha yea! she looks amazing though, i luv her so much!
I loooove mini skirts and mini dresses! A good thing about being short is that you can get away with minis more than a tall person. Haha.
so beautiful!! I love skirts but I've always had this thing about my knobby knees...But I adore them and the ones you listed here are so gorgeous...as usual!
i loveeee all of them...
I'm trying to be a respectable mom and here you are tempting me again.... ;D
Beautiful choices!

Great picks... minis are perfect to show off nice legs.
Love these! Too bad I could never get away with these at work though! :(
You are so right about minis! Just everywhere... even couture goes "mini" these days, something that I particularly adore as it gives it a youthful vibe! Just got to get the legs for those skirts...:) x
gorgeous little skirt
love the minis..always a fun classic
great post, thanks for the comments
keep up the fun inspiration!

the lime green mini is amazing!
Love love that grey skirt! All of the other ones are fabulous too...too bad I don't have the legs for short skirts, lol! Good selection again lady! Hope you are enjoying your Tuesday. :)a
Show some leg, darlings!
Thanks CC for sharing your "mini madness selection".
I truly love to wear them with slim jeans or leggings ;)
Once I bought a pair of Alaia leggings as the description read: creating the ultimate slim silhouette... how could i resist ;)
Happy sunny day to you!!!
I hate my legs so this is one bandwagon I will never get on. Though that deal of the day is tempting...looks just long enough for me!
i have been a dress girl all my life... and sort of forgot the joy of the mini until recently... though i HATE jean skirts with a passion esp minis.. but the sequin ones... wow... i have a couple and im starting to bring em out now... lovely lovely post... im gonna look for that grey skirt... its exceptional...another great one carrie
I LOVE mini's right now. I really like the Gryphon, of course! How fun, I can't wait to wear a skirt tomorrow...I have been struggling with cute things to wear in the heat that don't bore me! XOXO
This is serious short stuff! ha ha ha. Cool!
i love the look of a thin belt with a mini skirt or dress. so cute and flattering!
All such great options! I know I say this often about your posts, CC, but it really is hard to narrow it down to a few favourites.
Ooh, if I could wear a mini skirt to work I would. I'm simply smitten with them. The flapper-esque fringe one; the shimmery sequin bit. Fabulous finds, darling! :)
ADORE
mini madness is RIGHT! I love it! beautiful! fantastic post!!
<3,
Iva
Girl girl girl there are some super HOT minis here! i LOVE THAT POLLEN print skirt and how wonderful are the brights ones dear?
Oh the Philip Lim one is to die for too!
It is amazing the variety of detailed mini skirts. I love the zippered bandage ones.
CC how are your sweetie? I hope your having a great week so far.
Kisses

i want that black leather one, it's perfect!
the fuschia and black skirt is pretty gorgeous too.
gorgeous minis, perfect to show off the tan xD
Wow! Too many beautiful options to pick a favorite. But if I had to chose, I think the Silence and Noise drapped number would be mine!
As always, awsome post!
Covetting them all! The only problem with minis is trying to stop them seeping into your work wardrobe! I need to keep reminding myself theyre not work appropriate!
Wow, darling, this is amazing selection! I love mini!

balmain leather skirt is my favorite!
I love good old mini skirt! :)

I love a good mini...they are so much fun and I have always thought my legs to be my best asset!
LOVE that black sequin dress and the one above it! So stunning!
xoxo
I'm starting to love mini skirts again at the moment. There are so many great designs out there at the moment...

I love the mini dress..but now that im older I feel like I need to watch myself with them..great pics..I love all of them..what do you think the proper age is for woman to stop wearing them or isnt there one? I ponder the thought..xoxomish

Loving all the minis i want every single one! xoxox
Love minis:) But on myself, I love it the most with tights ore something underneath;)
i can't find something that I don't like in these photos!!<3
I love mini's! My most favorite is the Richard Nicoll dress, such a gorgeous mix of fabrics!... I want I want :)
the giles kinda reminds me of milla in the 5th element
:)
Ah! LOVE mini's! Sadly don't have the legs for them... Gorgeous pics/examples here! :)
xx
I'm definitely a 'shorter the better' kinda girl (without being obscene of course) love minis!
I love mini's! I totally wear them despite my bird legs :0) I am just glad that we have more options with mini skirts now. I dunno about you, but I was getting tired of the ole' tattered, jean mini skirt that everyone wore!
Cheers,
C
I love minis. These are great looking. Fantastic photos. Cheers!
I love the neon mini skirt. I love the whole look there. Those shoes too are fab in that look. Neon is so trendy but I'm loving it.
great post Carrie (as always)
xoxo,
Jessica
Oh you have that Balmain masterpiece I've been coveting. Dying.
The just Cavalli resort.. Elie Saab couture and Balmain's skirt: hot!!!
I am a bit bashful yet about the post baby gams, but I'm thinking I could do this with some tights. Loving the BCBG number!
haha, i practically live in minis! anything below my hand is unnacceptable;)
x raez
I really love the mini skirts =]
I especially love high waistlines for some reason combined with the mini skirts

I NEED a quilted leather skirt now. THANKS a lot!
Great post! I only wear minis as they're the easiest to wear for my height challenged body. I do worry though that one day I'll be *shudder* too old for minis, but then I really think that it's dependent upon the mini, not the length right?
I love the tulip skirt! I'm definitely a fan of minis, although maybe not this mini.
omg i love this post! just today, i was shopping and looking for a cute skirt. i didn't find one, but this definitely gave me inspiration to keep looking! :)
These are so hot! I eyed a couple that I would love to have.
The last Philip Lim dress is stunning, it's too pretty, and would go beautifully with something delicate and silky!
xoxo
i live in minis in summer. once again you have a great collection here!
I love minis! Love that sequin one .x.
I like mini skirts...but I must do some sport if they are making a come back:)
I love mini, because I'm a little woman...
XoXo
Lots of great picks, as always!
I love minis, but not wearing them. Though I should as I'm close to a midget. They just dont' go well with my tights. But gosh they do it well on the runway!

Love all these looks, great inspiration:) The look at Proenza Schouler Resort is what Emma Watson has recently worn at The latest Harry Potter's film premiere, if I'm not wrong..Love the fringe and the sequin mini!
I love my minis, too bad I'll have to give them up when I start work :(
oh la la! Love them all. Yep. going to the gym tomorrow so I can get some gams worthy of these:)
i absolutely love minis!
x
see i like the idea of mini dresses, especially when theyre on a runway model, but on a realistic basis, i just think they can take a "trashy" turn
i wish everyone knew how to wear one haha
I so love mini skirts and mini dresses! Especially the ones with some volume;)) Great post darling!
Well this is me !! I use to wear it all the time, especially winter... I may be in ski vacations but I'm always with a mini... !!
LOVING the ruffle mini! So sexy and sweet!
Gotta have the legs too!
beautiful skirts but they require perfect legs. my silhouette is more like monroe so i never wear skirts shorter than my knee
