pencil skirt again with white knees?

Ok,
Maya and others I am baring my knees and feel very daring. Yes or no?

I will wear a top layer. Is this jacket too much white, I sort of like the monochrome look.
Also , do you think this skirt could work in the fall? Would dark tights be too harsh?
New platform sandals, at least 2 hour shoes for now.

Jean your knees look fine from here :-)
I think there's too much white the skirt is kinda pale denim so overall it looks too pale from here.
I can't picture it with black tights could you post a piccie x

Yes! No! Not sure!

1. Yes, I think it looks fantastic with the bare legs. Very summery and cool looking. You have great legs! Love the look!

2. No, I don't think there is too much white. I like the monochromatic look, especially with the lighter wash skirt. The brown belt breaks it up and adds visual interest.

3. Not sure about the dark tights with the lighter wash. Angie and the gals will be able to answer that.

Love the shoes! You are beautiful and have an amazing fashion sense!

I like the white top and jacket - the belt makes it work. I think bare legs look great, but somehow I feel it would work better with flats - maybe it's the length of the skirt? The sandals look fantastic, great find.
I also thought - maybe it looked harsh with black leggings, but would work with grey?

I love the skirt! Your knees are fine. :) The lighter shoes help them "blend in" with the outfit so your legs don't stand out - they just look really long!

I would try a bright top under the white jacket - but the monochromatic look isn't bad.

The denim might be too light for fall and tights, but you never know until you try it & post a picture.

I love this much more with your lilly white knees showing! <grin> Really, your knees are not bad at all and with the white top and the lighter shoes it's absolute perfection. Be proud of your beautiful skin and flaunt your stuff!

Excellent, further confirmation that I am always right :p

Your knees look great Jean. I like the lightness of this outfit. I think I agree with Marianne though that flats might be better. You have such nice long legs that you don't even need heels, and the skirt is a bit short (I don't mean that it's too short, just short enough that you can get away with flats).

I love it! I love the shoes you are wearing with it but that's no surprise because I love that kind of shoe always.
You have gorgeous knees. I cannot imagine why you say you don't like to show them. You are a hot teacher, maybe too hot? HaHa! Maybe that is the problem, you'll have students with a crush on you.

LOL, san, you read my mind! So refreshing to see you in lighter colors Jean! I love you in darker colors, but you look just as wonderful in paler shades :-) I like the denim skirt on you.

Love the white, love the knees, love the shoes. So summery and yet still so Jean!

Jean, your knees are beautiful! No need to cover them up. I like the white-- it is a great change because I feel so used to seeing you in darker colors. Yet, as someone said, it's still so you.

It looks great Jean! I like the white jacket, but I would do a colored top underneath for interest. I said it in the other thread about this skirt- I think it would look fab with tights/boots for fall.
