The skirt looks the perfect length to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini/page/2#post-595587 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 22:52:55 +0000 Jjsloane 595587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's borderline lengthwise for work (OK with tights and flat boots) but not dated. Cute and with a more covered blazer (and the existing foot/legwear) could be fine in work for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini/page/2#post-595485 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 21:26:46 +0000 Vicki 595485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, this length works fine on you, especially with the tights. Love seeing Dotty and all these pieces together. I voted Yay and it was with my heart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini/page/2#post-593827 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 00:13:16 +0000 kellygirl 593827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE! What a fun outfit. You look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini/page/2#post-593823 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 00:10:52 +0000 Anonymous 593823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the entire outfit on you Rita, the blue, the stripes with Dotty and the boots. The only thing I might change is to swap out the sheer black hose for opaque black tights. Then there is no question of appropriateness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini/page/2#post-593731 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 22:29:43 +0000 san 593731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great. I believe that Angie has said in the past that minis work on petites. Maybe something to search in the files. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini/page/2#post-593556 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 18:33:22 +0000 nicoleb 593556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks lovely to me but my heart belongs to the mini as well </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini/page/2#post-593551 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 18:31:40 +0000 Scarlet 593551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic and perfectly modern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini/page/2#post-593540 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 18:10:57 +0000 Anonymous 593540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The picture shows a little small, but I think the skirt is too short for work, to my eye. I love the outift, however. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini/page/2#post-593538 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 18:07:44 +0000 cciele 593538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big yay from me! Definitely works with the tights and boots. I'm a big fan of the mini too -- I can't remember the last time I wore a midi or maxi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini/page/2#post-593502 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 17:36:04 +0000 christieanne 593502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Midis are the hot trend but a terrific short mini or basic pencil will always be in style. Love how you styled it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini/page/2#post-593497 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 17:30:54 +0000 Mo 593497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You *know* I am all about the mini, too! Thumbs up. This is work appropriate with the hosiery but likely not without it, as others have noted. I am also shorter, and short waisted, and find minis don't look obscene on us as they might on a 5'8" model. That said, I am moving away from the 15" toward 17" and 18" and feel it's more of a 'sweet spot' on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini/page/2#post-593445 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:49:00 +0000 Sveta 593445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is one great outfit, Rita! I am sure it is noe outdated either: all skirts I have seen in Paris last week were on the short side! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini/page/2#post-593443 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:46:36 +0000 teri 593443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow, a great option to copy with mt whbm skirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini#post-593441 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:45:56 +0000 Ana 593441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous skirt, Modgirl! I love it with tights and think it's appropriate for work. I agree with you that it might not be work appropriate with bare legs, but I definitely think you could wear it casually just fine. I like shorter skirts, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini#post-593436 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:41:38 +0000 raclar 593436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! And I love the graphic black and white with that blue color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini#post-593432 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:35:07 +0000 citygirldc 593432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well you look great and the tights are good for work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini#post-593421 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:21:56 +0000 Isis 593421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think its appropriate with tights for work, and it looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini#post-593415 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:18:40 +0000 Aziraphale 593415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! Not too short! It looks fabulous on you.</p> <p>I think short women can get away with mini-er minis -- partly because of proportions, and partly because a short skirt simply covers more real estate than on a tall woman. That's what I keep telling myself, anyway. I plan on wearing minis indefinitely! If I get to the point where I start to feel a bit bare, I'll just wear them with opaque tights.</p> <p>No reason why a petite gals like you and me can't rock the midis and the minis! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini#post-593408 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:09:56 +0000 Sara L. 593408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with you in that I prefer shorter skirts. I have a few midi's but I like my above the knee skirts better. I use the fingertip rule if I'm unsure of the length - if the skirt is shorter than my fingertips when I'm standing up straight with my arms at my side - it's too short. I think your tights make the skirt work appropriate and it will be a fun weekend outfit in the summer with bare legs and flat sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini#post-593403 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:04:32 +0000 rae 593403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it on you - almost makes me wish I'd kept a similarly striped dress from Target. Ah, well, at least I can enjoy vicariously! You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini#post-593387 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 15:49:33 +0000 catgirl 593387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks fab on you! The tights keep it work-appropriate for sure. Welcome 80s! I am feeling too exposed in skirts at this length now myself, but since you love it, you should rock it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini#post-593350 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 14:49:49 +0000 MsMary 593350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute! I'm gonna have to try styling my B44 striped dress that way with the cardi and scarf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini#post-593347 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 14:47:25 +0000 HelenInCanada 593347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit simply rocks. I agree that we shorties can get away with mini-skirts without looking "obscene" - LOL! With tights and tall boots, it looks perfect. Barelegged, it would be ULTRA casual and DEFINITELY not elegant or work-worthy, IMHO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini#post-593346 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 14:45:45 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 593346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous look for you. I love the color and pattern and don't think the skirt is too short for you. You are rocking it Rita. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini#post-593345 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 14:45:43 +0000 Ioana 593345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini#post-593333 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 14:37:41 +0000 goldenpig 593333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, looks great on you! You rock mini skirts! Love the tiered stripes! It's a black and white tiered stripe day around here! The tights definitely keep it appropriate for work but you would look great bare legged for the weekend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini#post-593330 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 14:33:36 +0000 celia 593330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am also on the 5'4'' wagon and although midis are the rage I prefer skirts a little bit above my knee.</p> <p>I voted yay, because I think it looks totally apropriate in you, it comes out more as a play in porportions than you trying to show off some leg.</p> <p>And my I say I fab your outfit is? The pattern mix is fenomenal and i really like the black/white/blue combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-heart-will-always-belong-to-the-mini#post-593298 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 14:02:53 +0000 Jilly 593298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote a definite yay. Being 5'4" and short-waisted, I've always looked better in shorter skirts than longer ones. For work, the tights definitely make.the skirt workable. Love the pattern mix! </p>
