What is the appropriate skirt length for work? Thoughts? I’m not totally sure.
While this skirt is not terribly short by today’s fashion standards, it actually is short by my own granny-like standards. Now that I’m in my ahem, late twenties, I’ve gotten a little shy about shorter lengths, sticking mostly to knee length or below, so this skirt was actually a bit of a stretch for me. My saving grace were the tights, which helped me feel a bit more covered.
Otherwise, I think this outfit has a bit of a style nod to la’s school girl prep post. My updated take on this look consists of textured hose, oxfords, a blouse with lace detail, navy trench, and a bright madras scarf to break up all the blues.
Just a note on the archival image (courtesy of Life) the title of this image is “Mrs. O’Neil pinning up hems on all ten of her daughter’s dresses” … TEN daughters!
