As I have gotten older (also had a baby) I feel naked when I wear shorter skirts and dresses. Anyone else experienced this? I am mid-30s and have been wearing mini skirts and dresses my whole life and pretty suddenly I feel way too exposed when I put them on and take them right back off. I’m not sure if it is a confidence issue or part of getting older. My body hasn’t really changed.

I don’t think it has something to do with your age. I am 42 and almost 90% of my closet is either short shorts (hottie hot for example) mini skirts and very short dresses.
I was not wearing short outfits immediately after having my kid, however, the older I got, the more confident I have been feeling. It’s not about the length of the skirt but about how beautiful and secure you feel while wearing it.

Agree with this! I actually think I look BETTER at 40 than in my 20s. I was rail thin in my 20s and I actually look good and fit now.

Depends on when and where. To the office?, I wouldn’t. Out with friends in the summer?, I would wear mini skirts and whatever I want. Out with friends in winter? I would cover up. It’s generally perceived to be provocative to wear mini skirts in the winter anyway

As I have never liked my legs, I never wanted them to be seen, so I've tended to cover them up; however, I'm 36 and do think I dress more conservatively otherwise than I used to (higher neck shirts, for example). Probably part of getting older?
