This one is def not toddler friendly unless you are VERY petite. <br /><br />Kristin - Ah, so you're built just like me!! Isn't it nice to know the method behind our madness? (and I was a math major, so yeah, I'm totally into the numbers, too) I would definitely give this skirt a try - you never know...<br /><br />DaniBP - thanks - got lots of pics, need to get myself organized and post. That will probably wait until tomorrow.<br /><br />Debye - no kidding! And we're close in height, so we have the same issue. I just need 2 more inches...just 2 little inches!!<br /><br />Drewablank - I can totally see your rocking those wool shirred skirts - but I can also see you totally rocking this skirt. Give it a try...just to see...<br /><br />Summerilla - this one might work on you because it's 2" longer than the usual 16" mini. And you aren't quite as tall as me. Definitely try it out - I can easily see it working on you.<br /><br />Cate - exactly the same? too funny. Looking forward to seeing pics when you try the Nico!<br /><br />Rosa in DC - you are too kind - the camera angle made it look better than it did IRL - but I bet this would be awesome on you!!<br /><br />NoJCrewinJapan - thank you - I have had that darn song in my head all afternoon and it's ALL your fault. Grrrrr. Hopefully someone else will pick it up so I can get it out of my brain.

It's made for that. But there a couple of things I just can't get over: 1) The Paula Abdul Straight Up Now Tell Me elastic waist band, which brings me back to the pimply faced days and 2) the length.

I'm not crazy - it truly does look better that way and there is a mathematical reason why (as an engineer I love having math back me up). I have never even bothered trying on JC minis, just figured that at 38 and 3 kids that boat had long sailed but maybe they wouldn't be bad on me. Worth a shot in the dressing room anyway.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08286383554331792209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871738287043527278.post-15776959632420393532010-01-28T09:43:17.100-05:002010-01-28T09:43:17.100-05:00I love that skirt too, but bending over with a 2 y...I love that skirt too, but bending over with a 2 year old....not what people want to see in the middle of Target!!Cloggsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06017614350224451146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871738287043527278.post-67372695163205314172010-01-28T09:21:53.245-05:002010-01-28T09:21:53.245-05:00Girl, that camo skirt was so SHORT on me...it was ...Girl, that camo skirt was so SHORT on me...it was crazy! :)<br /><br />I bought the denim short full skirt, with tights it looked great (probably less indecent because it is a darker color). <br /><br />I will put up both pics of me wearing them later this morning.<br /><br />I agree, if you can get it because it isn't an unfortunate length on you, do it!!!
