It's perfect for summer and would work for winter too. My favorite way to wear this type of skirt in the winter is with brown tights and brown boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-purge-contender---the-khaki-skirt-kp#post-864497 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 19:36:48 +0000 Lisa 864497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea to keep it and see if you are weraing it once the season progresses. Too often my worst closet purging was during the off season. My purges are usually more spot on when I do them about halfway into the season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-purge-contender---the-khaki-skirt-kp#post-864404 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 17:58:41 +0000 catgirl 864404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No problem with the length but the style looks a little dated (in the sense that I see it around here all the time in summer, and we are like a fashion time warp). My rule of thumb: if it's current in AK, it's out of date everywhere else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-purge-contender---the-khaki-skirt-kp#post-864399 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 17:53:42 +0000 Kiwichik 864399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't been keeping up with where you want to head style wise &amp; I'm not good at what's in &amp; what's not but from a figure flattery perspective you can definitely wear shorter skirts </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-purge-contender---the-khaki-skirt-kp#post-863800 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 23:55:07 +0000 bj1111 863800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think it's too short based strictly on where the trends are going and your desire to up the sophistication. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-purge-contender---the-khaki-skirt-kp#post-863754 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 23:15:53 +0000 Anonymous 863754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't read the other comments but this skirt doesn't wow me -- it looks kind of blah to my eye. I think some of your more recent pieces are much better -- the length is fine but it just isn't a standout. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-purge-contender---the-khaki-skirt-kp#post-863742 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 23:07:02 +0000 cinnamon fern 863742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I live in Virginia, which is pretty conservative, and women our age definitely wear skirts this short - usually with a gauzy top and flat sandals or cowboy boots. If you're worried about the length, you might feel better in flat shoes.</p> <p>I think short skirts can work at any age, provided that (i) the styling is right, and (ii) you have the legs for it (which you do)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-purge-contender---the-khaki-skirt-kp#post-863728 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 22:59:34 +0000 Mo 863728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, flirty!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-purge-contender---the-khaki-skirt-kp#post-863707 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 22:37:33 +0000 Angie 863707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote pass on. A little dated. I see you in an above the knee flirty skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-purge-contender---the-khaki-skirt-kp#post-863666 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 22:05:42 +0000 Mo 863666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, interesting . . . they are actually turn locks, like you would see on a purse, you know? I think that hardware, and the seaming that doesn't show in the photo, are what drew me to it in the first place. A basic khaki skirt would have been total yawnville to me back then, and even now lol.<br /> I will think on it and give this summer it's trial he he. It did occur to me sort of after the fact that I could use this as uniform for the golf course job (no denim, but khakis and black are fine) and even my pub job in summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-purge-contender---the-khaki-skirt-kp#post-863623 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 21:24:02 +0000 biscuitsmom 863623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have killer legs and that skirt shows them beautifully...I think you'd get more use from it it you follow CocoLion's suggestion of gettng rid of the buttons. Not a fan of them, either. I think that would give it new life </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-purge-contender---the-khaki-skirt-kp#post-863612 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 21:18:11 +0000 Anonymous 863612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know, Mo, your legs are so fantastic that I'd give it a shot for awhile longer and see if you end up wearing it this year. I don't see anything that looks inappropriate, and I'm usually pretty sensitive to that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-purge-contender---the-khaki-skirt-kp#post-863610 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 21:17:37 +0000 Anonymous 863610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Umm, I think this one can go, it is actually borderline dated, to my eye. Mo. I think you have your skirts needs covered and MUCH more fab things to keep you company! i vote purge.</p> <p>And yes, I think the length is good for where you live FL/CA. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-purge-contender---the-khaki-skirt-kp#post-863609 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 21:17:35 +0000 krishnidoux 863609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am 44 and if I had your legs, I'd be living in that skirt. It suits you very well, goes with taupe and white, can be quite useful. I understand you might feel tired of looking at it, why don't you fold it away in storage and come back to it later? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-purge-contender---the-khaki-skirt-kp#post-863606 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 21:16:32 +0000 CocoLion 863606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep for another year but remove the buttons to make it a bit more minimal and updated. It is very flattering on you and I do not think this length is age-inappropriate. We live in California and I feel the need to point out that in this state, we dress younger and more casual than other places and IT"S OK NOT TACKY. Perhaps the same goes for FL? And probably NV. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-purge-contender---the-khaki-skirt-kp#post-863598 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 21:10:57 +0000 Glory 863598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Susie I am sensitive about age appropriate but honestly haven't really figured it out so probably not a good person to comment on that part of it. However I think it looks great on you and I would hang on to it and see if you wear it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-purge-contender---the-khaki-skirt-kp#post-863579 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:55:02 +0000 Susie 863579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm pretty sensitive to being age-appropriate, Mo, but I think this skirt is just fine for you. It does not look too short or too young for you at all. </p> <p>But perhaps you are just tired of it and want to make room for something new?<br /> I agree with the others- keep it for the summer and see if you actually wear it before making a decision! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-purge-contender---the-khaki-skirt-kp#post-863567 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:47:29 +0000 Mo 863567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Rae - that was a 2 year old photo. I will definitely try a bit of volume for balance! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-purge-contender---the-khaki-skirt-kp#post-863559 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:42:38 +0000 rae 863559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree to try wearing it first. Try it with your voluminous/boxy/drapy tops rather than a fitted jacket, maybe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-purge-contender---the-khaki-skirt-kp#post-863556 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:41:12 +0000 Mo 863556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wise ladies - I always get tripped up with out of season purging. Yes, wear it for a bit first or see if you don't end up wearing it as the season progresses. So smart. Will do! thanks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-purge-contender---the-khaki-skirt-kp#post-863554 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:39:42 +0000 MNsara 863554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's such a nice summer basic, and your other skirts don't duplicate this color. Unless you have a new skirt in mind, I'd hang onto it at least until you've had a few months of weather where you COULD wear it, and see if you do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-purge-contender---the-khaki-skirt-kp#post-863545 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:34:10 +0000 Raisin 863545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I don't find it too short, you have great legs, and it's only a couple inches above knee. I would say keep if you like it and wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-purge-contender---the-khaki-skirt-kp#post-863543 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:32:35 +0000 Sara L. 863543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's cute and a lighter neutral than your other skirts. It seems like it would be versatile. If you get partway through the summer and you haven't worn it, then I would purge. I wouldn't purge now unless you really don't see yourself wearing it again. The length is fine by me, but I don't have a problem with shorter skirts (on me or others). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-purge-contender---the-khaki-skirt-kp#post-863537 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:26:05 +0000 Mo 863537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another borderline short skirt I am debating. This is ironically one of the first full price items I bought at 35 (Tommy Hilfiger), using gift money of course lol.<br /> I now have a black cargo skirt, and two army green (one cord for the cold, one cotton for warm weather).<br /> Is it time to kiss the khaki goodbye or is it a great closet standard I can get another summer's use from? I'm not bothered currently wearing this length, but I wouldn't go any shorter. I'll be 43 when it gets warm enough to wear, if that matters. </p> <p>yay - keep it around another year<br /> nay - time to move on </p>
