Keep or no way?

It's too short isn't it.. it's been lurking in my wardrobe for a lonnnng time.

Keep or discard?

2 different lengths boots on for ref.

I really like it!!!
But if it's languished for so long and you don't feel it then probably best move it on... x

I wouldn’t say too short at all with opaques but I don’t love that particular skirt. I don’t mind it but you could do better.

That makes me nostalgic for a tiny prussian blue suede skirt (Topshop size 10!) I bought in the mid 90s. I loved it. DH loved it. Half the men at Uni loved it. I wore it with black opaques, DMs and a tiny black t-shirt (remember when we all wore kids t-shirts). Sigh. I put that skirt to the charity shop years ago, I wish I'd kept it for the memories. If you loved it as much as I loved mine then keep it. Otherwise chuck.

@CountFosco - I know exactly the vibe you are talking about! I used to have a suede A-line mini skirt that I bought from Kensington market in my goth days back in 1990..I loved it! That very triangular a-line was bang on trend then!

You look lovely keep it!

The length is fine but I don't like the skirt - too Elmer and too flared. But go buy another, nicer one and enjoy the great legs!

It's lovely. Keep it!

Just wear it with very thick tights. Surely that would be no worse than a short tunic being worn with leggings?

@DonDrapersOldFashioned - I didn't take your response as snippy at all x
I asked for opinions and you gave yours. I prefer people to be honest..nothing worse than going shopping with someone who is determined to tell you that everything you try on looks AMAAAAAZING when you really know you look like a bag of shit!

Hmm. Going to go out on a limb, and say if you would describe yourself as a quirky dresser, you may consider adding a short frill in a colour from the skirt, to add some length to it. Otherwise, maybe a bit too short.

I love it and it looks great on you. Agree with others who’ve said wear with black leggings. It’s quirky and fab

Dont like patchwork but you are fine in short skirts with thick tights.

I like it and I like it on you! Keep!

You look great. The skirt doesnt.

Love it. Id totally wear it with doc martens and a funky jumper. My dress sense is slightly odd though
Length is great on you though, your legs are amazing!!

I love it, it looks great.

You and the skirt look great. Ibwouldnt go as far as leggings. Good quality opaque black tights and Doc Martens would be just right. But I'm old too.

I am wearing opaique tights in the pic.. are they not thick enough?

Hmm seems to be a real 50/50 split on it.. i think it'll be going. As someone pointed out upthread, if it's been languishing in my wardrobe for all that time, there's probably a good reason!

I'm guessing it's leather / suede. Was around in the 70s if I'm correct. I would try vintage shops as you might make £20 on it !

They look good. You look good.
But if you don't feel comfortable in it then you'll be thinking about it all the time. Either 'own it'! or let it go.

I love it! I’d totally wear it and I’m old, sod what other people think old women wear.

@DavetheCat2001 what size is it? I love it!

hello Dave Hope you are ok , I like the skirt,

I flipping love it! Looks great on you. I tend to wear stuff I like without necessarily thinking about if it totally suits me or not. I would wear it that short and I don't have a great figure at all.

I think it is fun.

I think it suits you. If you like it keep it. Is that an Orla Kiely bag I spot there ? 👍 x
