Valentino Fall/Winter 2010 Couture
Luckily, this is a simple look to translate from the runway into everyday life. A high neckline is already office appropriate, so you just need to adjust the skirt length from mini to just above the knee. For other occasions, a mini skirt or dress should work wonderfully.
Just Cavalli Black Pleated Bow Top, $129 Rue Lala
This is a great look because the covered top balances the short hemline. Wearing a low v-neck top and mini-skirt bares too much skin, but the opposite isn't flattering either.

Anyone that I talk fashion with will find that I have more than a slight obsession with long sleeved mini-dresses. A long sleeved mini-dress, as long as it isn't cleavage bearing, is a perfect piece to incorporate this trend into your wardrobe.
MaxMara Ananas Wisteria Dress, $229 from Rue Lala
For those that have chilly winters, leggings, opaque tights and patterned tights will keep your legs warm while still wearing a short hemline. But, pairing tall boots with this look will not achieve the same effect as the Valentino looks. If you are tall and leggy, calf high boots would work for you. But, for us normal people, heels are your best bet, and booties also work.
