I can't even imagine tring to extricate myself from a regular car without the Jaws of Life, let alone with a tight skirt on! We have a really high car so it's not a climb or even a swing, but my mom told me that too!Mother of Inventionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797365678860039018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11542365.post-34755834612873272042007-05-20T08:14:00.000-07:002007-05-20T08:14:00.000-07:00This is all so true.

Then there's this matter of remembering to sit like a lady, which is never a problem in pants. It is fun though to hear the reactions of people who as so accustomed to our wearing pants.

It's too warm for hose, sundresses are actually cooler than shorts and a tee because the skirt part is never made to constrict, and I don't get as many "you're all dressed up" stares in a casual sundress. But I agree - we're all about comfort now. The only time I dress up is for weddings or funerals whereas Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14555472024981357622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11542365.post-27461959631218759342007-05-19T20:25:00.000-07:002007-05-19T20:25:00.000-07:00I like skirts but hate nylons.

I would love to wear them always (minus the hose) but when I wear them out and about, yes, other people make comments that make me feel too dressed up. I can't even wear them in my own kitchen without comments from neighbours who casually stop by. No comments if I'm in pyjamas or a housecoat. It's amazing that the dictates of fashion have softened enough to wear Roberta Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032348890093502999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11542365.post-84589828036203407602007-05-19T12:10:00.000-07:002007-05-19T12:10:00.000-07:00I love skirts, but i usually wear trousers for wor...I love skirts, but i usually wear trousers for work for exactly the reasons you outline here, less can go wrong with them!Crafty Green Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486633917197181851noreply@blogger.com
