Is this too short or juvenile?

It's pretty short. The last time I wore a skirt that short I got sexually harassed by taxi drivers so badly I ran into the Gap for a replacement - any replacement.

I have no problem with short skirts, but the print is so reminiscent of school girl uniforms that I think juvenile immediately.

EDIT: now, the pony skirt on the other hand, is totally awesome, but I can see how the cost would be prohibitive

The first screams Sexy School Girl, esp. w/the disheveled plaid; I agree with Nancy. And with the second you'll have PETA after you.

Pleated skirts like this always read as slightly costume-y to me.

I think I could sew the pony hide skirt yourself for about 1/5 the price. But it is beautiful...

I'd probably be wearing these as aprons in my way, over pants. You'd definitely be flashing.

Those are cute but do seem short. The pony one is gorgeous.

Maybe you can get a utilikilt and have it hemmed. I met a girl who did that and it looked awesome on her.

Hate to mention Britney Spears, but that is what the plaid and pleats evoke for me. Love the shape of the LaGarconne piece. Wonder if there is a more affordable one in the same silhouette. Suede maybe?

Makes me think of Aussie band the Divinyls! For me it's not just he length, its the pattern which makes the overal look to my mind a tad juvenile. I much prefer the black pony, it just looks classier.

Salarymen pervs? Brittney Spears? Sexy Schoolgirl strippers? Being sexually harrassed by cab drivers? Interesting reactions for a skirt. Given those comments, I'm voting to give the skirt a pass.

The cut of the mini kilt is fabulous. It does not read as juvenile to my eye but the skirt would not allow for any kind of freedom of movement ( and I'm awfully fond of sitting) so is too short IMO.

Well I suppose it really dépends on the effect you are going for. I would agree with all above comments if you are planning to wear said skirt during the daytime at any respectful establishment such as work or school. That said, there's nothing wrong with wearing a too-short-skirt that evokes reactions if you are going out to a club with girlfriends looking for trouble on a Friday night ... Maybe you are wanting to be a provocateur? Hey, why not?!
