How short a skirt can a 37 year old get away with?

Me again. Are there any rules on this? I mean, I know one should be able to wear whatever one wants, but I'm fearful that I'm entering a delusional state whereby I can't recognise that my reflection in the mirror is mutton dressed as lamb ...

It depends on your legs imo. I have a 47 yo friend who wears short skirts but with opaques and flat shoes and/or trousers underneath and she looks fab.

WideWebWitch · 07/01/2006 19:54

post a pic of the skirt, go on! just realised you did wear it last night.

MarsLady · 07/01/2006 19:55

Hey, are you all in Colchester? Was just coming on to check on the skirt advice but realise I probably live near you...

lou33 · 11/01/2006 10:49

Noone worthy of pulling

We caught up with a lot of friends tho, which was good.

Franny, donkey and i grew up there, but moved away.

We went back as part of my birthday celebrations. It still slightly mortifies me that the security guard remembers me from 2 years ago, i must have left an impression

spacedonkey · 11/01/2006 10:55

I am still glowing from having my bottom fondled by a lovely young man ...

whereabouts are you franny?

I'm still laughing about my dancing escapades with Mariusz, donkey

SnowmAngeliz · 11/01/2006 10:57

sd your original post made me laugh, i often do that. Think, am i seeing what everyone else is seeing?
I wore a black kneww length flairy skirt the other day and shoved on a denim jacket and then removed it as i thought i looked like i wanted to be 16 again! Which i definately DO NOT.

Whatever you wear, make sure you are sure before you go out or it will ruin your evening!

lou33 · 11/01/2006 11:00

She looked great angeliz, as usual

FrannyandZooey · 11/01/2006 11:57

I live where you grew up.

spacedonkey · 11/01/2006 11:58

aha, do you ever go to the arts centre then franny?

Not these days, except to a kids puppet show recently ha ha, but I used to love it there, especially the folk and comedy nights.

hermykne · 11/01/2006 18:17

saw lorraine kelly some morn recently and shewas wearing a short skirt and she just looked tatty imo, her legs were crossed it was a side shot and she just didnt look as good as she can.

i think leggy swedish woman can get away it but in general for the beach!!!
