Heels

When I wear heels with casual skirts, I either feel like A) I look like a hooker or B) I'm too dressy.  I usually stick with wedges or flats, but I really love skirts and I really love heels... how do I mix the two?

I am a dedicated heels wearer, with the occasional exception (flips in the summer). For more casual skirts, try a wedge or a shorter, kitten heel maybe (these also look really good with the full skirts that are popular right now). For taller heels, pencil skirts are always good (I assume you are talking about wearing to work?), otherwise I have some slim-cut skirts that go to the knee or just below, and heels look fab with those.

I usually wear kitten heels with skirts, unless the skirt is at least knee-length. I feel like my proportions are off otherwise (it might just be my legs though).

I think the trick is matching the dressiness (is that a word?) of the heels with the dressiness of the skirt and keeping the skirts knee length or longer.  IMO, these would all look great with a cute cotton summer skirt:

Anyway, you catch my drift.  Generally, I think that kitten heels, espadrilles, and wedges look cute with casual skirts.

if you wear shorter skirts a wedge is always a safe bet. i've also found that round toe styles look better w/ shorter skirts than pointy toes.
