I think the shape combined with the length is just not super flattering. A higher waisted sleeker shape might work in that length, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-335046 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 21:57:31 +0000 Test User 335046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313898 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 17:45:20 +0000 Aziraphale 313898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With tights I think it would be fine. You've got nice legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313754 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 13:39:53 +0000 Lisa 313754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice choice to return I also vote nay, an extra inch or two would be nicer. Also I find shorter skirts in hot weather, my legs stick to everything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313699 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 08:12:31 +0000 yublocka 313699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for good return policies. I'm glad you were able to take advantage. Hope you find a replacement skirt soon!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313694 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 07:42:33 +0000 CocoLion 313694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for all of the replies. I was in LA for 5 days and returned it before before I drove the 6 hours home, after seeing the early unanimously bad reviews for this skirt. It's like the movie that bombed in previews. You guys will keep me from looking silly, that's for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313589 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 02:27:41 +0000 Angie 313589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I voted nay too. I really like the style of the skirt Denise (although I would also personally find the low waist annoying), but feel it needs to be a good few inches longer. Just above the knee would have been perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313578 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 01:59:08 +0000 kellygirl 313578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm voting nay on the style and the fit. It looks too loosey-goosey in the waist and hips. I think you could find something better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313570 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 01:34:44 +0000 rae 313570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What lyn* said... and I'm 27. Not because something that short necessarily looks bad, but because it's so irritating when moving/sitting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313548 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 00:36:51 +0000 catgirl 313548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like the skirt, and I don't think it's too short, but I think it's sitting low on you. I always try to pull skirts down because I'm short-waisted. I'd pass for something a bit more versatiel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313541 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 00:31:04 +0000 Beth 313541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others: in terms of shape/style, I think you can do better. I also think that a few inches longer would be better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313539 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 00:27:24 +0000 lyn* 313539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you planning to wear them with bare legs? I think they would look nice with leggings or hose I don't think I'd wear that length with bare legs, and I'm 25, but I'm crazy and conservative. LOL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313504 Sun, 13 Mar 2011 22:26:38 +0000 puffenstuff 313504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry I voted nay as well but like the others have said maybe just a different skirt is required. It also looks like you're wearing it down quite low on your hips so maybe you are a bit uncomfortable with the shorter length? Just a thought </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313483 Sun, 13 Mar 2011 21:22:12 +0000 nicoleb 313483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a fan of the skirt itself either. I say pass this up for something better </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313480 Sun, 13 Mar 2011 21:18:57 +0000 Dani 313480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another not so much a fan of the shape of the skirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313460 Sun, 13 Mar 2011 20:36:18 +0000 chouette22 313460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find it hard to judge the length, because of the photo's perspective (taken from above instead of straight ahead). But my feeling is that it might be a few inches short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313452 Sun, 13 Mar 2011 20:23:58 +0000 Steph 313452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with those who said the length itself isn't the problem as much as the skirt overall. To me, the bubble style looks very young, and combined with the length it just gives off a juniors-type vibe to me. I think if it was a straight denim skirt at that length it would be fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313449 Sun, 13 Mar 2011 20:12:46 +0000 Mo 313449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, I find the skirt itself doesn't look right, not so much the length at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313434 Sun, 13 Mar 2011 19:41:36 +0000 dakota 313434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I concur with the others about the length. BTW, you look fabulous in that pink! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313429 Sun, 13 Mar 2011 19:34:20 +0000 Anonymous 313429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you could pull off a short skirt if it's the right one...this isn't it. Too much going on--- drop waist, bubble bottom, mini. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313426 Sun, 13 Mar 2011 19:32:31 +0000 cheryl 313426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I dont think its too short, i just dont think it flatters you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313420 Sun, 13 Mar 2011 19:25:31 +0000 Alecia 313420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the skirt makes you look out of proportion. You could do much better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313395 Sun, 13 Mar 2011 18:50:07 +0000 sinead 313395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I voted nay- I bet Angie or someone will have some recommendations of great denim skirts. I also like the lightweight denim for summer- and, being in my 50's, I'm constantly frustrated with the length. Takes a lot of looking, I know. This one seems a little short- sorry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313391 Sun, 13 Mar 2011 18:45:56 +0000 Scarlet 313391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the sassy shape but a couple more inches would be better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313388 Sun, 13 Mar 2011 18:42:56 +0000 Vix 313388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your legs are quite fabulous for any age, but since this is to be worn with bare legs I personally would prefer a few more inches of skirt.</p> <p>Now if you were looking for a trendy piece to toss over opaques, I'd say go for it.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313385 Sun, 13 Mar 2011 18:39:54 +0000 biscuitsmom 313385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I dont think the length is too short, really. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313383 Sun, 13 Mar 2011 18:38:52 +0000 Isis 313383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I voted Nay. It's not so much the length of the skirt, but the pleats and the way it balloons out and then goes in at the bottom. So I'm just not liking the skirt itself.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313380 Sun, 13 Mar 2011 18:34:40 +0000 MsMary 313380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm also 52 and I am always tempted by skirts that short, but I resist and I think I'm right to do so. If I want to show my legs on a hot summer day, I bust out the short shorts! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-skirt-too-short-for-me-im-52#post-313376 Sun, 13 Mar 2011 18:32:00 +0000 CocoLion 313376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What do you think? It's from Rich and Skinny denim. It's made from a nice drapey lyocell fabric. I think it will be nice for our hot summers. Please excuse the poor styling and photo quality, I took this in the dressing room.</p> <p>But I am nervous because of the rule that one shouldn't wear short skirts after age 35 and I am well above that.</p> <p>So, keep votes Yay, return votes Nay.</p> <p>Thank you!!! You can be honest. </p>
