I do have a couple of very casual, above knee skirts that I wear when other people are appropriately wearing shorts, like on vacation. But I'm short and they are not that much above my knee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-denim-minis-juvenile#post-725540 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 18:37:06 +0000 ElleH 725540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cciele I will try to find time later to style it. I only plan to wear it as Mo suggested. Very casually in my beachy neighborhood with metallic jack rogers &amp; a scarf with a loose summery top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-denim-minis-juvenile#post-725538 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 18:35:50 +0000 RoseandJoan 725538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are ultra casual rather than overtly young. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-denim-minis-juvenile#post-725534 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 18:33:52 +0000 cciele 725534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also think it's more a matter of context rather than age. Perhaps we can see some styling ideas? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-denim-minis-juvenile#post-725529 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 18:28:19 +0000 ElleH 725529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet these aren't as short as they look. I didn't have time to try on. They start at the hip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-denim-minis-juvenile#post-725528 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 18:25:35 +0000 Diana 725528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So personally I purged all of my denim minis (actually all of my denim skirts, period, but that is a different story) a couple of seasons ago because I was never wearing them precisely because they felt too young. I have issues with that though - I look really young and am always getting mistaken for a student even though I am 32, so I try not to dress that way too. Anyway, the minis were getting to feel too short for comfort anyway, and with leggings I think they looked even more young. </p> <p>Just my take though.. and Mo is right, if you live somewhere beachy or casual (unlike me, who lives in a urban environment and works somewhere full of students), it's probably a much more all-ages vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-denim-minis-juvenile#post-725504 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 18:01:08 +0000 ElleH 725504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo you look great in that pic! I will probably take your advice &amp; purge the frayed one. I haven't worn it in years anyway. Come to think of it I haven't worn the dark one for a couple of years either but I don't want to be too hasty. I think asking on YLF &amp; getting a feel for what suits my body &amp; new ways to wear things needs to come before a mass purge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-denim-minis-juvenile#post-725481 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 17:35:06 +0000 Mo 725481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the first skirt to the second. It looks more sophisticated. *I* would purge the frayed one for sure. Looks like a juniors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-denim-minis-juvenile#post-725478 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 17:32:48 +0000 Janet 725478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know how old you are, but I am wary of any skirt that is wider than it is long. But I'm old. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-denim-minis-juvenile#post-725477 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 17:32:33 +0000 Mo 725477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me, once I start to question myself, it's a sign that I'm probably ready to move on. :)<br /> That said, you do live near the beach and in a casual world . . . situationaly it might not be inappropriate. If you pair it with a tank top and platform flip flops, as a 19 year old would, that would definitely be juvenile. FWIW, here is mine in South Beach (I was 41 at the time) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-denim-minis-juvenile#post-725473 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 17:27:50 +0000 ElleH 725473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are pics of the skirts I already own. Should I purge any of them? I am comfortable with some clothes that others my age wouldn't wear, like short shorts (not shorties though) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-denim-minis-juvenile#post-725467 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 17:21:55 +0000 Mo 725467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say they are a younger look, if not exactly juvenile. I am an over 40 who wears one, but honestly I think this is the last year for it. I'm planning on moving it to my beach cover-up capsule. Actually, the last times I wore it were both in Miami on the beach and hiking in Tahoe by some waterfalls. Both times over my swimsuit. So I guess I already moved it to that category unwittingly lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-denim-minis-juvenile#post-725463 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 17:21:03 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 725463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope not because I wear one on occasion (weekends only). It's dark wash but has some tiny distressing and isn't really mini on me because I'm "vertically challenged". But it's a few inches above the knee and I think it works in the right setting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-denim-minis-juvenile#post-725455 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 17:11:20 +0000 ElleH 725455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does it depend on the wash? Is a dark rinse one OK. Is a faded distressed one not? Are they both too teenager or unfab? </p>
