Would You Wear a Mini-skirt?

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?

and you look amazing

I'm 48, not yet banded, don't try to look too young for my age (not my thing, but even if it were, my kids would disown me), and yes--I would and do. Not micro-mini. But I have good legs, and will happily wear a skirt a few inches above the knee with leggings or tights and boots.

I have one of those stupidly small waists plus big hips. as long as the mini doesnt ride and ride and ride up to my waist-yes yes yes! I like wearing shorts atm-not to the knees. mid thigh. then i dont have that riding up to the waist problem.its true when they say your shape is your shape fat or thin. Big or not so big, ive always had the small waist big hip combo. I like the minis that flick out and flutter a bit as i think they are more flattering on anyone than skin tight.

before i lost weight, i dressed in baggy clothes... i guess to try to hid the fact that i was fat.

now i feel confident enough to wear clothes that actually FIT so... heck YA i'd wear a miniskirt!

I voted no as I'm just not in to showing off my lady bits. In fact, if we went by the finger tip rule, I'd be showing off not only my lady bits but my assets as well! lol I must have really short arms.

However, I would wear a skirt that comes an inch or two above my knees. But not much more than that.

I am 33 a mother of 2 teenagers, If and/or when I'm cofortable with weight I will so wear a mini skirt.

Sam ...You go girl!!

Melinco...a mini doesn't mean you have to show your ladybits....You don't HAVE to uncross your legs like Sharon Stone did...lol

I have not yet had my band done, but already wear mini skirts...cant wait to find a cute little jean one to wear with tights. The jean ones do not go up to my size, so wont be able to wear a jean one until I have my surgery and have lost some weight.:confused:

I think when I get to goal I will have to try some on for sure and maybe get one to wear in the confinds of my home. But I say if you got it rock it. Remember most of us are over critical about our own bodies and we have the fat girl mentality still, even though you are not. Get a girl friend or a teenager they will tell you the truth. :rolleyes:

I said yes and reason being I've never had the chance to wear one I've been pretty big since I was 9 so even tho I'll probably be 30 by then... I'm still going to try it out!

I've always thought I've looked better in mini skirts than shorts, so I've always worn them. Nothing is less sexy than shorts with one leg riding up your crotch. So I voted yes, and I've never had complaints big or not.
