 Love the skirt. It's got a great sheen to it that makes it a bit dressy and it's perfect for wearing now with a long sleeve tee/sweater/blouse and later with something more summerlike. The problem is.....it's technically a mini and I've over 35. It's not a super short mini mind you and probably a bit longer on me than most as I am only 5'4", but a mini none the less and if you've ever watched What Not To Wear on TLC minis are a no no after 35. What's a girl to do?
I'm sure Stacy and Clinton would cringe, but want to you ladies think? Too short for a 35+ woman? I happen to really like it. So does my husband, but that doesn't necessarily make it fashion do.
Here are the details for today's outfit......
-Perfect-fit long-sleeve crewneck tee in black from J.Crew.
-Chevron-stripe Trouser mini in black from J.Crew.
-Ambergris layered necklace from White House | Black Market.
-Tahari wedges in black patent from Macy's.
Have a good one ladies! |

| Please don't fall victim to such wide-sweeping opinions! Plenty of women over 35 look good in a mini. I would say you look better in one than some women I know ten years younger! I say if you have it, flaunt, and you definitely have it! Really cute skirt too! |
