Um…
I say, the shorter the better, bitches!
(ps. G, I’m obsessed with this outfit. Well done hotstuff.)
Looking cute, G! I have known this rule from an early adolescent age. If you came to school in a skirt that did not pass this test, you had to go home and change. If you could not go home and change, you had to find something suitable in the lost and found which more often than not was a pair of forgotten shorts from someone else’s gym class or a football player who forgot his jeans after practice. Needless to say, I never broke this rule.
I read somewhere on the internet a couple of days ago (I wish I remember where but I haven’t the foggiest) that if you dare to wear a short skirt/dress that it should really pass the middle finger test. I had never heard of this before! The skirt shouldn’t be any shorter than the bottom of your middle finger when you lay your arms by your side. I think this is a genius rule. And one I appear to break all the time.
This dress managed to scrape by. But only just.
I’m with Em on this one. I probably shouldn’t be because I’m too tall but since I don’t have boobs, my legs are my best feature and I say rock ‘em!
I have terrible, shapeless, kankle-fied legs and I still opt to show them off. If I had nice legs I would never wear pants. Ever. I would be completely pant-less. So I guess you’re lucky I don’t have nice legs.
PS. Georgie Girl, you look totally adorable (as usual!) in that dress.
