But I have no time to shop between now and September.

With tights or bare legs? For me personally, ~18" is my limit for tights, ~20" for bare legs. I do have really long thighs though. The green is gorgeous.

Too short for figure flattery?  Too short for age?  Too short for climate?  How long are your BF shorts in inches?   I personally prefer that length on you. I think this short would look best with low contrast legs.

If it were one or the other, I would say go for it. Both brings to mind a very young silhouette. Not quite cheerleaders, but in that vein. rachylou on "Is this too short?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-short-1#post-991259 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 17:00:27 +0000 rachylou 991259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That bottle green *is* fantastic. What Rae said. Altho, admittedly it would be too short for me to want to wear anywhere. rae on "Is this too short?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-short-1#post-991249 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 16:41:35 +0000 rae 991249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It doesn't look bad in the lookbook photo at all. And you do go to bars and parties and stuff where a shorter skirt is fine.  Anonymous on "Is this too short?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-short-1#post-991202 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 15:43:59 +0000 Anonymous 991202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Didn't you try one last year and Angie said it was too juvenile for you? 17ish" would be mid thigh-ish, but will feel shorter because of the flare. Up to your comfort level. The bottle green is gorgeous. Aziraphale on "Is this too short?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-short-1#post-991198 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 15:36:33 +0000 Aziraphale 991198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think so.  For me it would be, due to the pleated shape.  I might wear a skirt that short with flat boots or flat sandals if it were a straighter shape, but a short, pleated a-line skirt looks too Catholic schoolgirl for a woman older than 25, even if it's leather.  :-)   The bottle green colour IS amazing, though.  And it's a cool skirt. Sorry to be a party pooper.

You may just wrestle an extra 2" of length this way. annagybe on "Is this too short?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-too-short-1#post-991164 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 15:13:24 +0000 annagybe 991164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <a href="http://www.us.allsaints.com/women/skirts/allsaints-flore-leather-skirt/?colour=197&category=27" rel="nofollow">http://www.us.allsaints.com/wo.....ategory=27</a> By my calculation it's about 17 inches for the size 10 UK. I'd be a size 12 UK, so hopefully a smidge longer. Because the bottle green color is amazing.
