capri ones are sweet, other ones would make me feel like someone's granny!

yes skirts are difficult

i wear long ones from monsoon in summer but you feel like a 12 year old hippie sometimes

a line ones make you r legs lok shorter dont you think

pencil ones can work dep on heels

dresses are worse tho - the waist is at your hips and the darts for the bust is at your waist

drives me bpnkers

I used to wear long skirts but gave up because of the hippyish thing
I have a white longish linen wrap-around skirt from Gap I have worn about twice in 2 years. It's nice but a)shows my pants and b) I never know what to wear with it
my wardrobe is full of bad purchases!

I do like a slightly A-line skirt
not lots of flappy material
has to be about knee length (or shorter if winter and can wear tights)

never really wear dresses although I think I would like to
