I bought a jean skirt that's too short to wear in public.

[LaraMN]

:crazy:

But it was so. cute.:bounce:
I largely convinced myself I could just hike it down a little, and wear it when I'm out somewhere that I expect to not have to bend over.

Not gonna happen.

I need someone to go shopping with me who can stop me from buying inappropriate items; it's way too easy to talk myself into them.

Anyone else do this?

:banghead:

[Adsos Letter]

1. Once again...

...this thread is useless without pics...


:D

[NC_Nurse]

3. I knew it.

So pre-didly-ictable! ;)

[gmoney]

Moved and seconded...

Although it sounds ideal for a photo shoot. :)

[flvegan]

7. And a third, here

Can we get a ruling?

[LaraMN]

11. Behold, then, the look of terror...

[Guava Jelly]

13. right click

set as wallpaper
:woohoo:

[LaraMN]

15. Great. I'm making a weird face, even.

:rofl:

[Guava Jelly]

16. maybe we need other angles

:evilgrin: :rofl:
:silly:

[LaraMN]

17. Yeah RIGHT!

"Hey Sophie, can you come take a picture of my butt?"

:rofl:

[Guava Jelly]

19. Yeah Sophie

please, please, please, please :crazy:

[KitchenWitch]

87. PEV!!!

[Zywiec]

28. ROFL

:spray:

[philosophie_en_rose]

25. It looks lovely.

But I'd be afraid of "Britny" moments, while sitting or standing or moving at all.

If it weren't so hot outside, I'd suggest opaque stockings.

[greatauntoftriplets]

27. My niece-in-law wore one about that short -- out -- last Sunday.

And she is 12 weeks pregnant. Looks good on you, but I can understand your reluctance to wear it outside. Despite all the urging here.

My rule of thumb (back in the day) was that the cloth had to come as low as my fingers reached.

[libodem]

30. It looks really cute

You would have to be very careful how you moved, though.

36. Thank you! Oh savior of wounded K-9's

And thanx for talking the hawt OP into showing off her yowza gams :D :yourock:

[flvegan]

39. It's a shame we can't view the views for responses.

I'll bet that one of hers would be causing Elad's servers to smoke like Denis Leary. I know I've looked at it, what, 3 or 4 times.

[Guava Jelly]

40. You would think i was typing Morse code

as much as i refreshed this page. :silly:

[Adsos Letter]

41. I count 523 views on the board stats...

most of 'em have to be of that pic...

:rofl:

[flvegan]

42. 559 and 2 recs.

Wonder why?

[Adsos Letter]

43. I think folks are just trying to figure out the wallpaper pattern behind her...

:D

[Zywiec]

44. Is everyone hoping another picture will be added???

[flvegan]

46. Added or PM'd to me privately.

I mean, to uh, all of us...the PM that is. Yeah, that's what I meant.

[LaraMN]

45. I am SO wearing a bra!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[flvegan]

47. Prove it, sista.

You have my PM. I'll wait.

*rubs hands together feverishly*

*thumbs nose at GoPsUx*

[Guava Jelly]

48. dude

(you got to send me a copy) :D
Geeze.:( another day another empty pm box :cry:

[flvegan]

49. I love you bro, but

If I got that pic, you won't get a copy. I'm a gentleman, and I'd honor her wishes to not share it.

Okay, the truth is that I'd be way, Way, WAAAYYY too...uh, "busy" to be forwarding pics.

[Guava Jelly]

52. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

I don't blame you.
(heck my arms would be bigger than yours) :silly: :rofl: I am surely making an ignore list tonight :D

[LaraMN]

50. And inflict upon myself the underwire-wielding wrath of Leftymom?!

I think not!

:P

[flvegan]

51. It's, uh...research! Yeah, erm, she won't mind.

She'd appreciate my tenacity at getting to the bottom, er, truth of that claim.

Matter of fact, it'd make me look REALLY good in her eyes. Help a fella out, k?

:bigsmile:

[gmoney]

53. Thanks FLvegan...

:woohoo:

[pitohui]

37. it looks terrific, you're fine

i've worn similar, as another poster said, if you feel too self conscious about it, then these are nice in autumn with opaque tights -- the legs are still defined without being self conscious about bending over

as helen gurley brown once said, what harm is really done if someone sees a flash of firm thigh?

i wouldn't wear it to work but you weren't going to

it's fine for a stroll on the beach or sidewalk cafe

[RebelOne]

57. Heck, 30 years ago, all my skirts were that short.

Now I am too old to wear them.

[underpants]

58. My morning just got better

:hi:

[derby378]

83. Mmmmm - yummy!

:loveya:

[Joey Liberal]

88. Pretty Woman

You're a fine looking lady, LaraMN:)..........

[redqueen]

90. Too cute!

:hi:

[YDogg]

94. Who needs Harry Potter?

:shrug:

[Arugula Latte]

97. Dang. If I had your thighs I'd wear that puppy to church (not that I go to church..but still)

:thumbsup:

[NC_Nurse]

2. I think you're going to get some of those

"This thread is useless without pics" responses....

But yeah, I've done it. Not so much anymore.:)

[Adsos Letter]

4. Hey now...I just need a chance to judge for myself...

:rofl:

[KG]

5. this thread is useless without pics....

:hi:

[In_The_Wind]

6. I've done that.

I hiked it down and didn't bend over once. Hurray for me! *sheesh* But it was fun. I also wore it over leggings in cooler weather.

Try buying skorts in the summer.

[LaraMN]

12. Bwahaha! I love you!

You just totally gave me permission to wear it!

:rofl:

[In_The_Wind]

31. With just the right heel ~ you'll look wonderful.

If a 59 year old grandmother (with great legs) can get away with it you can too.

[Dangerously Amused]

8. Inappropriate?? I think not!

Just wear underwear. Then... no problem-o!


Jeebus Lara, if I had your legs I would wear scandalously short skirts and shorts ALL. THE. TIME.


Seriously.

[Guava Jelly]

9. ix nay on the underwear info

Shhhhhh!! geeze llama lady give us perverts a break :silly: :hi: you

[Oeditpus Rex]

23. Girl, your gams ain't exactly Spaghetti-O's

Want me to prove it? :evilgrin:

[Dangerously Amused]

78. Yabbut, they ain't ~ LaraMN's legs ~, that's for sure.

Shoooo... I'd even take your legs over mine.


Well, I would shave them, though.

[flvegan]

35. I'd like an underwear before/after photo collage, first.

What?

Hmmmm...

[Dangerously Amused]

79. Hey. Are you flirting with me?

Cuz you know how much we both hate it when that happens.



:7

[kay1864]

10. I'll be happy to go shopping with you

but only if you wear your new jean skirt. :bounce:

"That blouse on the bottom shelf? No, not that one, slide over a bit. A little lower. Yeah, that one, don't buy that, it's inappropriate."

See how helpful I can be?

[LaraMN]

14. Lol!

You are the wrong kind of "help"!

:rofl:

[Inchworm]

18. I wear speedos to the beach

lies lies :D

:hi:

[Adsos Letter]

21. When I wear speedos to the beach...

...I suddenly get the whole beach to myself :shrug:

:D

[Inchworm]

22. yup! I'd run hehe

:party:

[Adsos Letter]

24. I thought they were all just practicing wind-sprints...

Inchworm, my friend, you may have enlightened me... :o

:D

[Adsos Letter]

20. Sorry...lost consciousness for a few minutes there...

(struggles back into chair)...yeah, hmmmm...well, it looks great on you...and it would look great on either of my daughters...but I wouldn't let 'em go out in it (not the 17 year old anyway; the other is 25 and doesn't listen to me anymore on issues of, um, dress...).

This raises an interesting moral issue...I'll have to think about this for awhile...

LaraMN= Yes :D
Daughters= No :o

Hmmmm...

:dilemma:

[GreenPartyVoter]

26. Sew on a ruffle to the hem.

[tigereye]

29. wear some leggings under it!

I still like juniorish/funky clothes - I haven't really accepted the "mature woman fare" that seems to be out there in my size....


I hate boring clothes!

[Kat45]

32. You beat me to it.

I was going to make the same suggestion: leggings. It could look really cute that way.

[tigereye]

38. I was thrilled to see leggings making a comeback...

[SPKrazy]

34. Well at least I had a pic in my copycat thread of this

:rofl:

:rofl:


:hi:

[hedgehog]

54. Think of it as your good health skirt

Back in high school, no one ever bent over to pick up anything. We never had to worry about back injuries.

[Fire Walk With Me]

55. It seems that the Lounge gives you official permission to enjoy yourself in that!

I'll add to the consensus- nice gams, legs, getaway sticks.

[lildreamer316]

56. I have one of those.

I am saving it for a special night with the man.
Eh; who cares? If you like it...

[Tyler Durden]

59. 2600+ views. PLAYMATE of the month candidate.

If this stays on Page 1, you're headed into five figures.

Of course, your figure ain't bad either.

[LaraMN]

60. Who rec'd the thread?!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Omg!
If I knew it was going to have this many views, I might have reconsidered making the dork face!

You guys crack me up...


:rofl:

[DS1]

61. the drool and desperation in this thread almost shorted out the Internets

Jesus, guys. this is why she won't wear them outside. Hook up a few Minnesotan brothers and act cool about it, okay?

The skirt is fine, and you have nice legs.

O8)

[Tyler Durden]

62. Y'know, it DOES say "VIEW ALL" at the top of my screen.....

A suggestion...

I'm just sayin...

[Katina]

63. from the pictures you've posted

you are in great shape & could easily wear a skirt like that, but if you are uncomfortable, get some leggings to wear under it. That's the big trend with short skirts. Bending problem is now solved. :bounce:

[crim son]

64. Yep. I bought myself a pair of low-rise jeans

a couple weeks ago. Every time I sit down... well, you know. I'm still wearing them but only with long tops. :eyes: Nobody wants to see this old lady's ... :rofl:

[LaraMN]

67. I don't seem to get crack in them...

I think my hips are high or something.
They're fun though, aren't they?!

[crim son]

65. Heh. You're on the Greatest page.

:7

[LaraMN]

66. That is SO wrong.

So very wrong...
:rofl:

[DS1]

68. did you look?

[LaraMN]

69. No.

Did you shop me, or something?



:eyes: :P

[DS1]

70. No, but I can

Keep it up, tubby

[LaraMN]

71. Just because you can doesn't mean you should!

I ate four pepperoni for breakfast. I have to go work out.

:P

[DS1]

72. Truer advice doesn't exist

:thumbsup:

[crim son]

73. Yes, and I don't see it!

That, my friend, is a tragedy.

[DS1]

74. Lounge threads, no matter how many recs, don't get promoted to the list of greatest threads

We did have fun with it, briefly, while they were. But like sex and breaded chicken threads, they were corrected.

[crim son]

75. I call foul!

There's nothing I like better than to click to the Greatest page and read about cornflake chicken. What the hell?

[lutefisk]

76. kick - this thread deserves more exposure

9 recommendations? I guess there must be more here than meets the eye.

edit: make that 10 recommendations!

[LaraMN]

77. I think there's about *enough* exposure, already!

Hence my issues with the garment in question...
:P

[Midlodemocrat]

80. 3,370 views? Dear God.

:rofl:

And, the skirt is adorable on you.

[LaraMN]

81. Yay! We can go out for martinis and I'll wear it!

And I'll stand at the bar. The whole time. Because if I sit down in it, I'll have a Britney moment.

:rofl:

[triguy46]

82. Prove it.

[conscious evolution]

84. Go out topless

No one will notice how short the skirt is.

[elehhhhna]

85. Can you wear it w/ opaque tights this fall?

[lutefisk]

86. Add some boots and a scarf and it'll be good till December....n/t

[triguy46]

89. Now 4494. Is there a lounge accountant to keep tabs on such things?

[Sabriel]

91. It's cute!

Some people can wear just about anything and "get away with it." You're lucky!:-)

[buddhamama]

92. it's Mother Nature's fault

your latest blog entry is hysterical. :rofl:

i would wear the skirt with leggings. it looks fantastic on you, btw. :)

[taterguy]

93. Most of my skirts are too short to wear in public

Wait, did I just say that out loud?
Damnit

[NewWaveChick1981]

95. Not usually with skirts, but....

...occasionally I have bought a top that is waaaaayyyy too low-cut to actually wear out in public....but sometimes I do anyway. :rofl: I'm forever pulling it up.

That sounds like a cute skirt! :hi: No wonder you couldn't pass it by....

[Zywiec]

96. I think the number of views on this thread means

everyone wants another picture!
