Well, folks, the shortest day of the year is upon us.

Sure more hours of daylight would be fun, but it's important to remember that short isn't always a bad thing.

Take the miniskirt, for example. From its humble B.C. beginnings to dominating the 1960s to becoming a style staple decades later, the skirt has time and again proven that mini is marvelous.

So, in an effort to cure those solstice-inclined blues, we've rounded up some of our favorite short skirt moments for you. Enjoy, and just remember, only 182 days until summer!
