Temperature here suddenly dropped below the freezing point, but I feel spring is coming. So, some exercises for spring fashion.
I came to my office with a grey skirt I purchased a few years ago. I am not quite sure whether it matches with my age, but I love it.

I think with skirts it's more about the legs than age-- and your legs are great for short skirts. I like the high waist of that skirt, too. I have to wear long waisted things to visually shorten my torso.
I've often commented about the length of dresses and age appropriateness, but Barbie where you are concerned I'll have to eat my words. Like Lyric has said, you have lovely legs and dress with the finest sense of fashion and if anything, the other people in and around your office will most likely think so too. As usual you are absolutely a class act! :eusa_clap:
Thanks! Lyric and Shan.
When I looked my legs through the mirror, they were thinner than those looked in the photo. I guess the 2-dimensional photo makes so. I love my skinny legs. The following photo probably makes my legs look thinner.

I am not quite sure the top will match with the skirt or the short pants.
It is still cold outside, but I may go out with bare legs with the long boots this weekend.
I may wear nude stockings if it is too cold. Today evening I purchased a bunch of leggings.
As it is now winter vacation, taking self-photos at my office became my hobby this week.
I sometimes become enthralled by my self-image. I am an incurable Narcissist.
Anyway fashion and photography is fun to enjoy.

Some of us are more narcissistic than others although we all are to some extent. You are a darling woman and have a marvelous tall, slender frame to model clothes on, I am quite taken with your attractive looks. I won't tell your wife if you don't tell mine though! ;D

I have a drawer full of leggings and wear them almost every day from October to May. When I wear jeans, they're always underneath.

I did not know that, but thanks Shan and Lyric for compliments.
Yesterday I was a little bit busy to host two guests from the mainland.
I woke up early and try my old 2.5-inch red heels which are very comfortable to wear.
As it is rainy and warm this week, I tried thigh-high nude stockings. I am not quite sure whether it is appropriate to expose the band areas of the stockings, but they always slip down.

Probably I have better wear pantyhose stockings.

Well, on you I think they work. I'm not sure about sheer nude stockings, but thigh high opaque socks with the tops showing are being seen a fair bit here in the states these days.
Yes. I have seen a few young girls here exposing the frills of their thigh-high stockings, but my impression was that they look untidy.
Today morning I had breakfast with my friend at a restaurant. I was busy raising the stockings, as it was crowded. Next time, just pantyhose stockings. But exposing the frills in public can be thrilling.

Some of the tops on the opaque stockings are very attractive and are visually stimulating to a man's eyes.

Yes. I do not know the reason, but it is stimulating to my eyes, too.
Today's problem was that the female workers and some guests at the restaurant know that I am a man, as I frequently stop there to have lunch. I do not care about it, but I was just a little bit shy and tried to hide it.

And just ago, I ordered the following one:

It will be delivered from the U.S. to my home, taking about 2 weeks.
As 4 or 5 inch heels are difficult to walk on, I chose lower ones.
* Heel Height: 2 1⁄4 in
* Weight: 11 oz
* Circumference: 9 in
* Shaft: 5 1⁄2 in

Yes we both find it visually stimulating and I won't deny that it has everything to do with our natal gender and is quite normal. I don't think you need to be shy and hide anything, you are quite lovely looking and a stunningly fashionable dresser, I would not doubt that you look better than most if not all of the women there.
Ventilation is the most important measure in preventing recurring fungal infection on my hips, and it recurs again as I have to wear tight skinny jeans frequently. Considering both fashion and hygiene, I ordered a bunch of thigh-high socks today. The long socks may match well with skirts or short pants, while warming my legs. Also they will be useful for outdoor exercise.

They are relatively cheap here. Just ca. US$ 4 per pair. I ordered 6 pairs.

Cute and very practical for this time of year! I was looking at that cute white dress with red bow and trim in the other photo thread just adorable Barbie, and though it's not age appropriate you pull it off just beautifully!
I am now wearing the following over-knee socks:

They are too short and easy to slide down. The length is about 60 cm (24 inch).
The length of the long socks I ordered today is 80 cm (31.5 inch). Hopefully the new long socks will warm me more and tighten my thigh enough to hold.

Barbie,
Those sox appear to have stirrups and highlight those attractive shoes. Has your hair grown out that fast already, or are you wearing extensions? Wish I had such nice hair naturally rather than my grizzled grey mane.

Oh. That is a photo taken in 2008 when my hair was very long.
Nowadays my hair looks like:

Oh, finally I knew why it is so short. It's arm length is also too short, making me conclude that it is for kids, not for juniors or adults.
When I was in the U.S., I used to purchase underwear and tops for kids, as they fit well, and above all, are very cheap. I guess this top was one of them.

That works, cute skirt!
Yesterday I went to the doctor's office while wearing the skirt and black pantyhose stockings. In an hour, suddenly I had a runny nose. At first, I did not know the reason. After returning to my office, I wore leggings and the runny nose disappeared in 2 hours. I concluded that it is still winter and I have to wear at least leggings to prevent a cold.
Today morning I am wearing thigh-high stockings and long stocks together. I am not quite sure whether this is fashionable, but it warms up my legs. It's 6 degree Celcius (or 42 F) now.

The long socks I ordered arrived yesterday. They are very, very long, and I am sure I can wear them in the campus. They will help ventilate my hips.
The old ones I have are rather short, and easy to slide down.

They look pretty on your feet Barbie. I love strappy heels on a girl, it just adds a whole extra layer of femininity.
Thanks, Shantel.
Today afternoon, I am going to Seoul for a meeting. I picked up the red for today's travel. Of course, I will wear the long red coat, which was laundry dried yesterday. I ordered a bunch of pleated mini skirts last week, mostly at less than US$10 each. The following one was delivered yesterday.

Pleated skirts usually make a woman's ass look larger than it really is, I know this from having gone to a Catholic High School where the girls wore uniforms with pleated skirts, but it works in your favor and you look pretty, pretty, just pretty as usual!

Mostly you alone comment on my new fashion!
Yesterday I visited a shopping street in front of a women's university in Seoul. I purchased several fashion items, and most of them were at a fixed price of KRW 10,000 (just ca. US$ 9).

The following one was exceptional, costed about US$20. Today I am wearing it, together with the boots delivered from the U.S. yesterday.

But I was not good at fashion, but I think my fashion sense has been improving a little bit.
I purchased a very long top last week. It's for spring, but I am wearing it right now. I thought the striped long stocks would match with it.

It's early in the morning: 4:45 AM. Just waken up to come here at my office without makeup.
My new casual top that my wife purchased for me a few days ago. It was on sale, and she purchased 3 similar long tops for me. Also she can wear them at home.
Oh. It's time for going out for running and exercise.

It looks like you're using it as a top and a bottom. It works for you, though. BTW, I really like your hair flippy like that, Barbie. I think it when gets just a little longer it will look really cool like that.
As I saw cherry blossom today morning, it is indeed spring.
I purchased very short (and very cheap) jacket a few month ago. It is for spring, and I wanted it to accentuate my waist line. Although I ordered L size, it is still to tight. But, as I wear a very slime and thin top, I could manage to wear it.
Now, the problem is whether it is fashionable.

Barbie, You look great. Such nice legs, why hid them. Why not go for some pinks, yellows, a little spring type colors like the blooming trees in the background. You always look great & it's always nice to see your posts.
Can I buy some of these killer legs though? gaggiiiiiiiiiiingggg, they're GORG
Thanks! FrancisAnn and crowcrow223.
Yes. Many people ask me whether my leg shape is a product of long-term jogging. I reply that it is rather genetic.
During class, I avoid exposing my bare legs, as it can distract students.

Spring is coming, and I want to enjoy wearing fishnet. But it is still cold. I may need some changes in my spring fashion compared with the last year, but I have no clue. Any way, my spring fashion photos:

Apparently it's never too cold in Korea for short dresses and high stockings ;). Thanks for updating this thread. I was just looking through it and it's fun to compare your looks. You really are a real life Barbie doll. I love your hair at this longer length. My hair's about the same length right now. I'll have to doll up and post a pic sometime. Your beauty is a constant inspiration.
BTW, I just ran across this look at a fashion site that reminded me of you. I could see you in the red and black shearling coat in the first shot.

Oh, Lyric,
Thanks for your comments and the link. I have never been in London, but I wish to be there in the near future to see fashionable women there. Right now, I do not have any plan to have my hair cut short.
Yes. Spring comes here. It is shiny with some chilly wind, but it is anyway spring. As I have minor back pain, I have to weak sneakers. It is just casual. Taken about 5 mins ago at my office.

Hey, if you've got IT, flaunt IT! You know, I'm tired of our societal rules. I still would like to wear short skirts but NOOOOOO. I can still fit in one and I think my legs still look great but It's taboo for someone MY age to wear a short skirt. You know what? They don't make nice skirts for women anymore. Cute things for juniors. Nothing for..... um us older women. I would like to dress nice occasionally but I've looked all over the place and can't find anything but that knit crap. Or even try to find a nice pair of dressy slacks? OMG! I'm wearing jeans with my nice wedges. The world has gone to crap.
In any case, you truly do look too cute and I wouldn't change a thing. Enjoy it!

Oh. Thanks, Cindi for encouraging comments.
Yes. I tend to defy my age. The freshmen in my campus this year are at the same age of my eldest son. Some of them wear similar flower-patterned miniskirts like mine in the photo.
Here some people recommend aged people to wear very bright-colored clothes like little boys and girls. This would make both watcher and the aged people look happy.
Anyway, it is very warm today. I am wearing a little bit sporty clothes. As I mostly wear skirts, it feels a little bit tight to wear short pants.

We have a lovely day today but the house is somewhat cold. I've got a couple layers on. Now the bottom layer looks great. Leggings and a matching top. They used to call them "long underwear" but now they make them look really great. My top layer is ungodly ugly. I'm wearing a work jacket and oversized jeans (I wear my old clothes at home so I don't wear out my cool stuff.)
Hey recently I found jeans that really fit my figure well. NYDJ.com. I picked up a boot cut at Nordstroms and a friend paid for them. I had never paid that much for jeans. But they have a nice tight butt end and fit my waist perfectly and look fabulous with wedges or heels. The cut is longer so you do have to wear elevated shoes. And a lot of their clothing is made in the US. So, I don't mind paying for good quality. I purchased two more pair from Amazon and got a better price. I also tried their straight leg version and really liked those as well for wearing heels. But I don't wear heels anymore. I love my wedges too much and some of them have ankle straps that get in the way of the tighter fit down by the ankle.
I also just found a delightful sheer white blouse. I found some nice form fitting black and peach colored tank tops to wear underneath. These look great with the NYDJ jeans and my 3" snakeskin wedges.

Yes. A sheer white blouse always looks classical. But I seldom wear any white cloth, as it is prone to stain.
I guess jeans with wedges also look great, but I seldom wear jeans.
Probably I will purchase wedges in summer.
barbie~~
I found a style of wedge that looked good and are super comfy, so I bought two more pair. I decided to get one more pair in another color and they sell them no more. In just one month! This is why when I find something I like and it fits, I always buy at least two. Just about everybody here in CA wears jeans or shorts. Everything is so casual, I feel overdressed sometimes.
Cindi
Today I purchased a comfy skirt for spring.

Usually with a skirt like that the zipper goes in the back. Also that side is fuller to go over the butt.
Just remember to squat down instead of bending over to pick things up and don't climb on stools or ladders.

I am going to the mainland tomorrow to attend a business meeting.
I am considering wearing this skirt for teens. I just want to look younger, but I am not quite sure what others will comment tomorrow.

It's Sunday, but I ran from home to my office for exercise.

It was a little bit chilly, with some drizzle.
Spring fashion for hiking.

Some women claimed that I should not wear a skirt while climbing.

I purchased a little bit longer blue dress. I wanted bright blue, but the delivered was deep blue.
It is raining with a lot of fog here.
My new blue dress taken indoors.

However, bare legs can be a problem for you when climbing or in the woods.

Yes. That's right. I have a dozen of thigh-high socks. I plan to climb the top of the mountain this weekend by running.
Today it is still a little bit chilly, but I tried fishnet.

You're braver than me to go out on a chilly day with that much leg expose. I love the dress and coat looks, though. I also liked the caricature of you on top of the cabinet and also on the pillow in your chair. That must have been drawn on a rare day when you wore long pants.

Yes. It became chilly at night and I changed to thigh-high socks.
Yes. Undergraduate students gave the pillow to me as gift a few years ago. I heard one student is good at drawing caricature.

It is a little bit chilly here.
I went out to purchase miniskirts in a shopping mall here.
While returning to my office, I took some outdoor video clips near the mall.
Also, I ordered another pair of fish net.
The fishnet I am wearing in the video is very warm, as the fabric is very thick.

Looks gorgeous! I could never understand how something that is 90% holes could be warm...?

Thanks, Grace.
Actually, the thickness of threads determines it.
You may try fishnet like the following product. It is very warm.

Yesterday I went to the downtown by the public bus to shop and have dinner with the family of my graduate student. Just at the bus stop. It was a little bit chilly, but endurable. The downtown area is virtually filled with Chinese tourists, but surprisingly few people watched me.
