At this point in my life, "yes" to all except the florals. In a heartbeat. Only a few years ago I would have said yes to all of them.

Thanks for sharing; those are lovely. My problem is that I have yet to find a designer or store that offers multiple length. They are showing them all right at mid knee length. On me it would be above my knee...not an attractive length. At least a shorter woman has the option of shortening if too long. A few companies are show midi length that is a few inches longer.

After a few years of thigh exposure and the now classic maxi, there was no place for designers and brand manufacturers to go with length, which they would promote as the latest great thing we all must have, other than at the knee/or right below the knee.

In other words it's a trend. For those who don't like it there just won't be as many options for you in the skirt/dress area this season. This is always the case when a certain length is the hot look. I'm sure women who didn't want their thighs exposed, had to leave a lot of dresses and skirts on the racks for the past couple of years.

The length of skirts/dresses is a deal-breaker, I realize. I buy almost exclusively from the Linea line on QVC. However, many a skirt and dress I have sorrowfully passed up because for me, a shorty, they would end at or above the knee. That is not a flattering look on me. The length of the skirts pictured above is right up my alley, so to speak. That is why I said yes to the skirts.

If only the manufacturers could routinely produce longer lengths on skirts and dresses, more people would be able to buy. I think this is true, but I could be wrong. And yes, there will be that repugnant $20 alteration fee for me, the shorty, but at least I would have a choice of whether or not I would buy the garment.

I love all of the skirts from Talbots (the floral less so than the others). I haven't shopped there in a long time, but will definitely have to check these out.

I like three of the four in your original post Lola. I would not wear the brown polka dotted skirt.

I love this skirt. I would wear a top with sleeve, but I do like it on the model.

I just checked out Talbots and they're offering 25% off your entire purchase. If that lace skirt came in black or another neutral, I would be all over it!

As a Talbots shopper, I really like the first skirt pictured. It would be so pretty to wear to a summer dressy event or wedding with the right top. I don't really care for the top it's paired with. Actually, I think the ivory-colored blouse shown with the bold polka dot skirt would look good with the lace skirt.

I don't like too many of the skirt prints that are posted. I prefer a small to medium sized print or solid color skirt that is a-line in shape. I do not like realistic looking florals or horizontal stripes on a skirt. I am not a fan of lace skirts either. The 2 I like the best are the second Talbots picture and the first Camuto skirt. I wear a lot of skirts in the spring and summer. They are cooler then pants.
