I have been eyeing out a red mini skirt at our local clothing store for about 6 months. Every time I go shopping, I threaten my sons that I am going to buy it, but never seem to work up the courage. I am a typical jeans and blouse / t-shirt kinda girl. I wear the odd sundress in summer but I am most comfortable in my jeans. I don't get to go anywhere fancy so never really get to doll myself up.
So last week I decided to buy the red mini skirt - for no other reason than to wind my sons up. I also found a new pair of boots - finally admitted the last pair were a little too high and was never going to survive in them. The new pair are just above ankle length with the right size and height heel and are lace ups - Perfect in every way. (Cost a fortune but I wont tell hubby if you don't) So I have the new boots and a red mini - what else do I wear them with? Found a very nice black shirt (with press stud buttons) and some black stockings to complete the package.
Tried it all on the other day and was very pleased with the look - the mini was not nearly as short as I thought and in fact came to about 2 inches above the knee - so not sure it can be described as a mini skirt anyway.
Decided to wear my new outfit this week, much to my sons disgust. Had endless remarks from them all day. Sitting in the car was the worst - son no 3 kept complaining that he could see my thighs and it is the last thing any kid wants to see (I have obviously brought up a bunch of prudes!).
I felt really good all day and decide to be a little more daring in future.
I am now on the look out for a black leather mini skirt. I could so make it work. Do you think that black stockings and suspenders may be pushing it a bit?
