I think my favs are the wrap around skirts. They're really flowy and are asymmetrical so it doesn't cut you off at the ankle. I think at this store called Nirvana (I don't know if they're national) they are about 10 bucks.

Long skirts are kind of ambiguous because it depends a lot on your body type. If you are taller then long skirts can make you look extra long and kind of stringy. If you are short though, depending on where they cut off, they can make your legs look kind of stumpy.

No matter what, stuff will come back in style if you just wait a few years. Do you have any pics?
