The Little Jean Skirt..what?

I've been meaning to write about this subject for just a little while now. I really don't want to offend anyone but this just has to be said.  If you are under the age of thirty, attend a lot of parties or work in a bar, perhaps this skirt is for you.  Don't get me wrong, I once owned many of these both before and after the age of 40. I never owned this item of clothing as a teenager or younger adult because my father would have whipped my exposed parts with a switch out of the back yard. I did try to wear it once or twice and found, I just shouldn't do that, not ever, not at all. I was so uncomfortable with the thought that someone may see my lady parts even if they were covered with pretty panties.

Thing is, just last week I saw someone that I know who is just slightly younger than myself, (I'm closer to 50 than I am 40) wearing a skirt very similar to the one below. I was shocked that she chose to wear this to a family meeting where her children would look upon her and see what she was wearing as something to be proud of or not, who knows.

 I couldn't figure out if this woman was just a victim of poor clothing choices or was she looking for attention?  Needless to say this skirt got her lots of attention. She may view it as positive, I see it as more negative.

I no longer own skirts like these.  I do have one or two jean skirts that probably have 1 1/2 to 2 inches added on these and I have to say they are rarely worn.  There is no question that my tastes have changed over the years. While I like to think I still have it going on, I like to be a little more tasteful in showing it.  My personal rule? If you're over the age of forty, this skirt really shouldn't be worn, especially if you want people to take you seriously.  And if you're guilty of wearing this skirt over the age of forty, keep in mind that the bottom half will likely not match the top half of your aging face. Even makeup can't hide everything. For me, the younger girls can have this one.
