And when I say mini, I don't mean just covering your bum mini, just short I guess.
So I've recently given my wardrobe a bit of an overhaul and am quite enjoying throwing out and buying in. I'm really starting to understand my shape more and I'm going out my comfort zone a bit and (sometimes) being pleasantly surprised by what suits me.
I'm a size 10 inverted triangle, which I would argue is one of the hardest shapes to dress. I've always liked my legs, so I used to wear mini skirts with thick tights quite a lot this time of year, but at 38 I'm not sure if it looks right on me anymore.
I know I'm not old, but I remember a couple years a go wearing a denim mini (ish) about to go out and my mum said, with raised eyebrows "that's very short" and I just realised today that I haven't worn them since! I remember asking what she meant and if she was saying it was too short for my age and she just said "Well....."
Can't believe I've been that influenced by one comment from my mum! But it obviously made me feel a bit rubbish and self conscious.
Anyway, got my eye on several lovely winter, suede, leather and denim short skirts, but I'm still reluctant to buy. I don't want to live in jeans all autumn/winter!
So if your in your late 30's plus, do you still wear minis?
TIA
