As far as I know long skirts are still in style, I've seen them in every store I"ve been in, course I'm not much of a skirt person I'm a jeans girl myself, or I opt for a summer dress.
I think what matters most is how it makes you feel, if you like long skirts and the compliment you well and they make you feel good then more power to ya!

heh and I carry big bags, I have to have those 478 useless random items and the kitchen sink with me at all times
