I’M 45, AND TODAY I SAW A WOMAN OLDER THAN ME WEARING A MINI-SKIRT ON THE SUBWAY. AM I WRONG FOR THINKING IT’S INAPPROPRIATE?

This morning, I was on the subway and saw a woman, clearly older than me, confidently wearing a mini-skirt. I don’t wear mini-skirts myself anymore — I feel like I’m too old for them at 45 — yet there she was, showing off her legs like it was nothing.

I couldn’t believe it. I wanted so badly to approach her and tell her that she looked inappropriate for her age, but before I could muster up the courage, she got off at her stop.

Don’t tell me that it’s okay to wear mini-skirts after 50! There should be a point when we acknowledge our age and start dressing accordingly, right? Or am I the only one who feels this way?
