    My mom is 64 and still wears skirts and looks fine in them. I say go for it!

    As long as your skirt is an appropriate length for whatever situation you're in, I say wear it.

    Ex: mini skirts are typically frowned upon in corporate environments and if you're a school teacher, I wouldn't wear a short skirt either (personal preference)... I wouldn't wear a floor length skirt if I had to do a lot of walking about but that's because I'd manage to get caught in it and trip lol

    I'm 35 and I find it extremely sexy when older women wear skirts. You worked hard to get your body how you like don't hide it

    OP -- I guess that it depends upon what your definition of "short" is. I was thinking that you were asking about a mini. That isn't much higher than your knee. I would wear that out dancing with friends (even at our age). ;)

    I'm almost 43, and don't give a fig what "my age" should dress like. I wear what I like. Anyone who doesn't like it can look away. So if I want to wear a short skirt or a bikini or anything else, I will and I'll rock the hell out of it.

    If you like the skirt and feel good in it, I say go for it. My mom is in her sixties and wears skirts and dresses of that length and I never thought twice about it.

    Off topic: Your legs look great!

    I would rather be a 63 year old anything trapped in a 36 year old anything than vice versa. :)

    FYI: I work from home....no dress code! And I'm more concerned that I'm just out of the loop with fashion/rules....where I don't know anyone where I live....I guess it shouldn't really matter....though I like to laugh at myself and have fun.....I certainly don't want to look inappropriate or like a clown!
