The question: Can a woman of a certain age wear the fresh, new full skirt silhouette without looking like she shopped in the Junior’s Department?

The answer: Yes, with a few caveats…

the skirt has to be the right length, not too short, not too long, this just above the knee length is a good choice
the skirt should be the right fabric, small prints in sophisticated colors; large, abstract prints or subdued solids, lest you look like you’re going to a skating party
the top must be fitted, long and of a modern cut
the shoes should be flat, heels would take the look in an inappropriately dressy direction
the accessories should be a little saucy

The look: Pair a graphic black and white floral skirt with a slim, sleeveless top and finish with studded sandals and bold jewelry (Click on pictures for more information)
