The first question is obviously: how good are your legs? If you're going to feel self-conscious about the size of your thighs or your nobby knees, rethink this whole plan of wearing minis.
Better yet, take a few pix, front and back of yourself with the skirt on and see how it goes. My digital cam is my best fashion friend. I go shopping with it. It helps to get the picture, pun intended!
Well, let's start from the bottoms up. Since you're going to school, definitely those streamlined sneakers that look more like shoes than athletic footwear. If you wear chunckier sneakers you risk looking like a cheerleader.
If the skirt is straight or A-line, than your top can be more frilly. If the skirt is asymetrical or pleated or whatever, than the top as to be really simple or you'll look like a frosted cake.
Tops these days are very loose fitting, it's the retro 80s/Splashdance look so this works for you. Tight and skimpy top + baring mini = overkill.
You don't say if you're in hot or cold weather. If hot: polo tops, fitted tunics (that are not longer than half your skirt/ hip lenght), those off-the-shoulder tops.
If cold, well, you'll be wearing long sleeves, most likely, so that balances the short skirt easily. They can be fitted or loose, just as long as it's obvious you have a skirt under there, LOL!
Dark pantyhose helps reduce the half-naked feeling that super minis often give you. I'm with you on the leggin thing. Hated them the first time around and every subsequent resurrection thereafter!!!!
As for accessories, depends on your top. If it's decorated, has big prints/stripes or whatever, think of wearing only earings. Depends on the overall look. You don't want to look like a showgirl, and you ARE going to school.
Also, accessories are big and in bold, solid colors this year so you want them to actually clash with your outfit. Think black and white. Red and black etc.
Or pick one color from your outfit and match the accessories to that one color.
Ex: Black/white top, denim skirt, red accessories.
Yellow and white print top, denim skirt, yellow OR white accessories.
Basic rules :
- Where do I want to attract attention to?
- Do I look like a fruit salad?
Hope this helps. Remember what I said about the pictures. You can even use your webcam.

I hate the legging look, i think it is the worst trend to hit america, I love denim skirts cause you can wear absolutely ANYTHING!
you can do a tube top, and accessorize it with big pearl necklaces and bracelets, with some regular or jewled flip flops.
There is really no limits.... use your imagination

I'm a real casual chick so I say go with a tank top and some flip flops (if the weather's appropriate). Giant hoop earrings, Juicy Couture shades and super glossy lips are a must. But this is just my opinion!

a nice blouse ruffled down the front with clogs and tights. try a light pink or white blouse (if you like pink) with the same for tights and if you wear the dark denim then black or dark blue clogs. (don't do sneakers whatever you do) hope this helps

What not to wear? - Treat them like jeans, they're versatile - I used to go to school in socal and we wore them with any and everything. I guess today, wear them with cute ballet flats and a tee with a small sweater over it or some casual sandals and some cute theme shirt. Have fun with it and don't stress about what you pair up with them.

I like young girls in jeans. It makes them look more city like and it doesn't look like they try too much but if you are looking to get this men attention, this may well not be what you would like

I really do enjoy wearing long skirts once in a while. They are simply actually more comfortable than Jeans and not as hot to wear also.
