Reality: It may take us a while to adjust our eyes to the new, longer skirt, but most of these can be fairly easy to pull off if you have the body (and the right shoes.) The midi, or mid-calf length, is already a strong look for warmer weather, and floor-sweeping maxis look to be back again this summer, too. Remember that in longer lengths, everything is magnified -- fullness, prints -- so too-muchness can look unflattering.
