Another Short (Skirt) Story

July 29, 2008 by WendyB

I think this American Apparel skirt is short enough to avoid frumpiness, while avoiding the frightening brevity of the Acne Jeans skirt.


Please excuse the waist-down photos. I’ve been having some bad face days.

    I like the skirt 🙂 and I hate it when I have a bad-face day and somebody takes pictures of me 😉

    I know I’m not one to comment regularly on the fashion posts, but I’m totally OK with this blog’s recent increase in short skirt pictures.

    That's a good length.

    It must be the weather because I've been breaking out on my face for the past week. My Proactive is letting me down.

    I have that skirt in yellow, and I love it! You will be very happy with it, I guarantee. And that Acne skirt? Wicked.

    You’ve got great legs Wendy! I really like this skirt on you, but I also thought you looked fab in the short acne one.

  12. enc says

    You’re certainly not having any bad leg days!

    This skirt is just right.

    As a man, I really resent the idea that we’d be interested only in women from the waist-down.

    July 30, 2008 at 9:52 am

    oh, ive definitely thought of it.

    i really should just taken it in & get an estimate…

    cheers x

    Great legs Wendy! Also I really like the colour

  16. Miss Janey says

    July 30, 2008 at 10:37 am

    That is a perect length tho Miss J still thinks Miss WendyB totally ruled the studded skirt, too.

  17. CoutureCarrie says

    July 30, 2008 at 10:41 am

    Yes, if you are going to do a jean skirt, pencil and dark is the way to go – perfect, Wendy!

  18. Arielle says

    July 30, 2008 at 10:48 am

    it’s a perfect length. I love the color of the skirt

    Fab skirt and great legs!

  20. Jill Sherman says

    July 30, 2008 at 11:02 am

    sister, you couldn’t have a bad face day if you tried!

  21. Alice Olive says

    July 30, 2008 at 11:08 am

    I think you look great in both! You have superb legs, young lady!

    A perfect size skirt!

    a kiss!!!

    Thanks for cutting out my face on this one.

  24. somlynn says

    July 30, 2008 at 12:40 pm

    and what’s better is the *all hail* carine roitfeld has sported the very same one!

  25. ♥ fashion chalet says

    July 30, 2008 at 1:53 pm

    Cute skirt. I love pencil skirts. xx

    Thanks for your comment, I had fun contrasting the two items. ^_^

  26. Skye says

    July 30, 2008 at 2:31 pm

    That colour is fantastic and the length looks great (although I thought the studded one looked pretty awesome too).
    PS. Have linked to you…

  27. Elizabeth says

    July 30, 2008 at 3:16 pm

    It’s a really elegant length on you. Short enough to bee kicky, long enough to be sophisticated.

    By the way, love “bad face day!”

  28. WendyB says

    July 30, 2008 at 3:23 pm

    I’m glad this skirt meets everyone’s approval. I was worried no one would like it after the studded skirt!

    Elizabeth, I am positive I stole “bad face day” from another blogger but I can’t remember who is is to give credit to her.

  29. Emily says

    July 30, 2008 at 3:33 pm

    your comments about your outfits never fail to make me laugh. i’m sure you’re far from ‘bad face days’ but i do adore this skirt!

  30. Leah says

    July 30, 2008 at 3:57 pm

    Perfect – Your legs look great and I love the shoes too!

    It’s perfect!

  32. the iron chic says

    July 30, 2008 at 4:15 pm

    I have this skirt too and I find the fit a bit awkward.
    But I wear it all the time anyway.

  33. K.Line says

    July 30, 2008 at 4:56 pm

    For starters, I’m so with you on the bad face day!

    OK, this skirt looks just lovely on you, of course, but I have to be totally frank – I prefer the other.

    Your legs are worthy of the shorter skirt and, now that I’ve seen it, I can’t help but feel I’m missing something here.

    Having said this, if you are more comfortable it is a perfectly stylish and sassy alternative to the Acne.

  34. The Lady Who Doesn't Lunch: says

    I’m very into slightly-above-the-knee. I like the shorter skirt, but it’s risky or downright rude on the wrong ladies.

  36. TheSundayBest says

    July 30, 2008 at 7:50 pm

    Speaking as a dood, I’d say both are perfect for that they are. A lovely just above the knee cut, and one…a little higher.

    Plus, I’m sure Mr. B crying is the saddest thing ever.

  37. fashion herald says

    July 30, 2008 at 8:04 pm

    perfect length to show off your perfect legs, damn.

  38. Merisi says

    July 31, 2008 at 1:16 am

    Exactly my kind of skirt and length!
    Now, where can I order those fabulous legs? (Love your shoes too!) 😉

  39. Cammila says

    July 31, 2008 at 8:45 am

    Yes indeed, it’s the perfect length — and the perfect color. Just enough blue and just enough purple.

    Also, I might agree to a bad-face-day if it meant having this much of a good-legs-day!

  40. Always In Style says

    July 31, 2008 at 3:33 pm

    You are right, it is the perfect balance – I will have to go to American Apparel to check it out I didn’t realize they did more than leggings and t-shirts!

  41. Susanna says

    August 1, 2008 at 2:56 am

    I thought the acne one was perfect…. but this one is great too….

  42. Danielle says

    August 1, 2008 at 3:21 pm

    yes, definitely no bad leg days!
