You get to choose! Wear this feminine versatile skirt as a cover up or regular everyday skort! The smocked waistband gives you the flexibility to wear it low on your waist for longer  length or high waisted for more of a mini skirt style. The REAL reason I wanted to design this skirt is the biggest frustration I have with Swim Cover-ups, POCKETS! This skirt features big functional pockets to hold all your necessities.
