Would You Wear a Mini-skirt?

[Pix 4]

I voted 'heck yeah' ... but, I doubt I ever would. Old habits die hard, and they had to bribe me to wear a dress at my own wedding (and I was a size 10/12!!!!). So umm, its a toss up.

I voted no. If you are old enough to have a teenage child, I don't think it is appropriate to dress like one. Actually, what I really believe is that after 25 it really just looks slutty and not cute anymore. Just my opinion.

i also voted NO ...

i am only 34 and still "feel" very young *BUT*

i also have 3 daughters ( 16 1/2 , 12 1/2 & 11 ) so i dont feel it is appropriate .........i constantly do the bend over/turn around skirt checks with my girls........lol

we all pretty much agree a little above the knee is a good length area for a skirt ( plus it looks really cute with the right boots :frown:

I like minis. Somewhere between mid thigh to just above the knee. Nothing super short. These skirts get any shorter and everybody will know these girls' assets. I don't wear them now but when I lose weight I will. Besides it makes my DH happy. I only wear them out though because I have three kids. Just not practical for everyday wear.:thumbup:

Oh, just above the knee for sure. When I said mutton dressed as lamb before I was thinking crotch length, could pass as a belt type mini.

Voted no. I carry my weight in the lower half more and I can already tell I'm going to have skin problems down there. I don't know, I agree that when you get older mini's just aren't cute anymore. I never even really wore them when I could get away with it. I just never had a taste for them, at any age really or weight. They're not very classy.

Of course I am talking super mini's. Just above the knee is nice, a bit more is ok, but anything more than that and I find tasteless.

But heels? Love em and can't get them high enough!

I vote "heck ya!" I think fingertip-length is perfect. Just enough to show off your legs, but not too short that you have to make sure you are "groomed" well. LOL

I actually tried on a cute mini-dress (size 14!) yesterday and it fit. It was a little shorter than what I am comfortable with because of the saggy skin on my thighs. If the skin sucks up and I feel comfortable, heck yeah, I will wear anything that I possibly can!!

[stacy73 2]

i voted yes-although the skirt would be just touching the knee for me-dont want the slutty look-but a cute jean skirt with flip flops during the summer would be good.

[Jachut 487]

yes, denim skirt and flip flops is more my speed than pencil skirt and stillettos. Just not into that sort of stuff.

Last time I was thin (around 31-32) I wore short skirts but they were the type I'd wear with tights so that if the wind blew I wouldn't show off my knickers to the world. I would also wear with flat shoes so I tended to look more like a kid than someone trying to be sexy in a short skirt. I also wore beachy sort of skirts that came above the knee with sandals in the summertime, but of course never to work.

Even fat I have nice calves, no point in hiding them. I plan to dress about the same when I get the weight off this time. (I just turned 35).

I think it depends on the person and how they look. I might be in denial but I don't think I look particularly matronly and mom-ish. I look a bit like my avatar if she needed to lose 100 pounds so there are some things I can wear and some things I can't. I have a friend who is 40 and looks like Uma Thurman and she can most certainly wear mini-skirts!

I am totally going to wear sexy short skirts. Firstly I am going to make sure the skirt fits my body type, but rest assured I am going to look Hot-damned!:confused_smile:

(I am also going to wear tight tops too! I am bringing sexy back!!!:drool:

[annabella 7]

I would. I like my skirts above knee but not too mini. I would do half thigh only. I can't take any credit for my legs but they are actually of normal size. It runs in the family to have nice shapely thin legs no matter how fat you get!!

[mphsmommy 0]

Well, see. I voted yea, but it really depends on what my legs look like when I loose. I use to wear them and i had great legs. You would more likely see me in a cute little skort with some high heeled strappy sandals on (even at my weight now).

[Carrie_C 9]

I voted yes too, but I agree, it depends on what my legs look like. I have always had chubby legs even when I wasn't fat. So I'm guessing they will still be that way. That is the hardest place for me to lose. I would look better wearing some low rider jeans with a cute short top showing my belly button because my stomach has never been really big.
