Who says the news is always depressing? UK women are wearing miniskirts longer, according to Debenham's department store.
I say Rule Britannia! I know for some of you, the thought of an old woman in a miniskirt is not that appealing, but we are not talking about wrinklies here, we're talking about women in their late 30s/early 40s. If you're fit and can pull it off, please go for it! There are plenty of un-fit 20-somethings whom I'd less rather see in a short skirt than a toned 40 year old.
Plus, a few words in praise of older women. They can be a lot more feminine, and that's a good thing. To me, there are few, say, teen girls at the prom/graduation dance who look right in long dresses or ball gowns. They don't know how to wear them, how to walk in them. The limits on dressing go in both directions, young and old.
Plus, as damsels, older women sometimes just seem to "get it" more instinctively. They know just how to struggle, how to be helpless without being a twit, how to strain just so, how to really work it in the ropes....
