This skirt is adorable! Although I must say that it is a bit inconvenient to take off. You have to unbutton the front three buttons and a zipper and then zip up and button 3 to put it back on. I think it's worth it though because this skort makes me feel cute and it has shorts underneath. I think it's on the shorter side and could have a higher rise, but it'll match with almost anything. It's not as breathable down there because of all the thick jean layers, but I think it's still wearable in the summer heat. I also agree to size up 1 size. I'm usually a 27 at Levi's but I got 28 and it fit perfectly. Not too tight.
