Dot doubts raised by Angie's blog post today

This is hanging in my closet. I thought it was wildly flattering and it fit great--there is this flattering optical illusion that dots create--but is to too childish for a working adult? Who is 51? If I had to peg my aspirational style, I guess it would be demure business bombshell, lol.

I really like it. Get that skirt out of the closet and on your body , post some picture, we will help you!

I don't think it looks childish at all! It has a very sophisticated shape, and then the dots are playful, but not juvenile.

I would totally wear that to the office and I am a few years older than you!

I'd wear it, and I'm 51. I know my older sis would wear it too, and she's in her 70s now. That's not a childish print by any stretch of the imagination. It's quite sophisticated, actually.

No, not at all. I'm not sure why Angie's post would make you think this was childish, it's liker a black dotted swiss, very witty and cool!

I'm wearing a skirt much like that right now, but the dots are larger. I'm 42. Clearly, I don't have an issue with these types of dots.

OMG, this skirt *has* to see the light of the day on 51-year-young you!

FAB! Definitely not juvenile. This is more what I like in dots myself, and I'm not a dot person. The dots are fairly small, low contrast, and neutral. That reads demure bombshell for sure!

GORGEOUS! Dare I say "sophisticated." I wouldn't bat an eyelash (except an envious one) at this!

Ooh, I love it! Definitely not childish in any way. I'm 61 and I'd wear it.

What?! Another demure bombshell on YLF! Yay! I found a style twin! You better put that skirt on or else I'm going to come steal it from you! If I wasn't pregnant, I would wear that skirt in one hot minute--I'm crazy about dots!
