I usually wear more of above the knee skirts but I've seen some of these paired with bralettes/crop tops and they actually look really hot! Personally I like the colour of the skirt, you really just have to pair it with the right shoes, top, accessories etc.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
