MID-SKIRTS: what say you?

I'm partial about the new skirt: flowy mid-calf length.  Although it seems like a natural fit to hide problem areas of most women (hips, thighs and derriere) while accentuating the waist, it's just not the most flattering length for my below average height (I'm barely 5'4 1/2" and average height of women in North America is 5'5").

So, how can I make it work??  I'll try to post some outfits with the "new skirts" this week for your feedback.
