Okay, I thought I'd try and get something going in the thirties. When/as you lose weight, would you wear a mini skirt? I'm not talking obscene, just pretty short.

I find I'm having to re-evaluate everything I wear. Is it appropriate. Do I look good enough to wear it. Husbands are no help! :-)

Just thought this might be fun. What are your thoughts?

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!!

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.

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:

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!!

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).

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.

I have two answers for this Yes and NO

Yes - Bedroom. DH loves miniskirts - Gotta get me some Pretty Woman Boots too (do they special make those?) - though my thighs will NEVER be small enough - LOL

No - Public. No one wants to seem my cottage cheese thighs - darned heredity! I agree with right above the knee is okay. I want some tall boots (not hooker) to wear with my skirts - I'm hoping these calves will go down by winter!
