Corporate Hoochie?

A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about how glad I am that the mini-skirt is back.  I love them…but I’m now wondering if I should give the wearing of them a little more thought.   Yesterday I was in a “cute skirt” mood, so chose one that would be fitting for the assumed fun mood of the dinner I’d be having with a friend that night.  The skirt was indeed cute and I liked the way I looked in it, and the fact that it was short-ish but not exactly mini was perfect because I also had a meeting that day.  I checked myself out in my bedroom mirror from a few different angles, changed shoes a couple of times until I found the right ones and proceeded to sail off to my meeting.  My skirt was stylishly and summery short, not too much, just enough.  It was a lovely spring day and I was in a great mood.

The doors in the building elevator where my meeting was being held were shiny enough that they doubled as mirrors.  Uh-oh.  Something wasn’t quite right.  The skirt that was just a bit above my knees in my bedroom suddenly appeared to be mid-thigh…and I’m on my way to a business meeting.

How did that happen??  I went from feeling like a well-prepared, smartly dressed businesswoman to feeling like I looked like that chick who sued Citibank because they said she dressed  too sexy for the office. A corporate hoochie.  Her…and now me.  Geez.

Not that I look anything like her, but we should both re-think our outfits.  Anyway, though I was a little self-conscious, my meeting went fine. I did make it a point to make sure my legs were always demurely crossed at the knees.  No need to exacerbate the situation by flashing them, too!
