Love the 60's kick - I've recently been won over to the appeal of a 60's a-line shift - feels so much more young and fresh than the hourglass.<br /><br />One comment though - can you update your comment section to Disqus or equivalent?

I try to imagine a woman of the 50s used to the tea length style skirts, then being confronted with the idea of this mod look - and having to reveal her knees for possibly the first time!(away from the beach that is). There's a bit of that happening with the Betty/Megan dynamic on Mad Men - so interesting. How do your post-feminist knees feel out there in the air Ms Gertie?pearlcardiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17825778447235920180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-8219624674878670682013-08-19T23:16:28.797-04:002013-08-19T23:16:28.797-04:00That color looks so good with your hair.
