I am so happy I made the decision to ditch anything shorter for street wear! I have the same rule for my shorts now–at the knee looks grown up chic.

I'm not a fan of that. Makes me think of the sparkly words across the tush. I like the green top very much. The neckline has the loose relaxed style, without the frump which some of the poofier ones.

I love the green top, and I thought the brown top looked quite cute too, and would work with a slim fitting pair of trousers. can I also add, unless you have great sentimental attachment to your belt (worn in the pics with your jeans), I'd be losing it as it creates a very dominant focal point right down your body near your hips, a long way from your pretty face. If you need to wear a belt, find one with a discreet buckle that blends with your jeans. I thought the shorts on the right were most flatteirng, they'd be really cute with a pair of ballet flats and feminine top. I'm so jealous about how cheap you can buy clothes, your $5 rack is our $25 rack! That's economy of scale for you.

Ellem - from the front that skirt is just another just-above-the-knee pencil skirt. And I didn't want to publish a picture of me from behind. ;) Chrs - I'm really glad I got that top. I wore it to church today (with the white linen trousers and pearls) and got good reviews. Jennifer - I probably will. :) Beth - Why be sorry for that? ;) Christine - that’s a great color for bridesmaid dresses!

When I first saw the brown on brown, I thought it was a dress. I also thought it was M, not you. The floral is too romantic, and the hot pink with zipper is too attention-grabbing. Sorry, I just always imagine you in a shapely sheath. I don’t think any of those skirts suit your idiom. When I first saw the brown on brown, I thought it was a dress.

At that price it would be a good experiment on the length. I think you should keep the brown skirt and see if it works for you. At that price it would be a good experiment on the length.

Yours looks less shiny, though. I have had (almost exactly) that green shirt since December 2006. Yours looks less shiny, though.
