december 1 1132

How to get the look:

Wear a skirt/dress that’s too short** to church.

That’s it!!

You’re the winner!!

(**Short defined as anything that shows more of your leg than anyone wants to see, causes constant and very pesky tugging or pulling of said skirt to keep it from being mistaken as underwear or causes unnecessary contact of skin with church chair. Got it?)
