Can only tall skinny girls get away with wearing thigh-highs socks and a mini skirt?

From fashionista.com: "We almost bought a pair of black thigh-highs the other day. We were going to wear them with our Wellies and our beloved Vanessa Bruno mini skirt.

But then we remembered that we're 5'4'' and a size 8, and that instead of looking like the girls on the Miu Miu Fall runway, we'd look more like Scooby-Doo's Velma - and that'd be tragic.

We debated the look in the office this morning, but we think you have to be supertall and superthin for thigh highs to look like anything except a sorority hazing outfit."
