wear a skirt once a week in public

I wore a skirt to work today.

I do that regularly but I don’t usually include that in this goal since it’s part of my uniform (black skirt or blk/grey trousers)so it’s not as if I make a conscious effort to do it. But seeing as I have been at home wearing trackpants most of this week I haven’t really had the chance to wear a skirt in public, so it will do for this week.

today – a little black & blue floral dress with some stockings underneath to keep me warm

I had a goal on 43T to wear a skirt at least once a week around 2 1/2 years ago. And it worked well – i found it quite enjoyable after a while.
But somehow I’ve stopped – it’s so easy just to fall back into black pants and jeans. So here I go again!

This week I wore a long gypsy skirt on Monday night (with leggings underneath since it’s been so cold!)

I bought some cute knee high socks. Maybe this will help me want to wear skirts more, especially when it’s colder out.

Well, I still not wearing a skirt once a week, well not in public! Anyway, I have been wearing quite short skirts and now thinking that perhaps a pencil skirt would be good. I have found on which I think looks ok and is black and about 21 inches long. It looks stylish, so debating whether or not to get it.

Well, I have worn a skirt once in public and it was fun, so would like to do it again. Not sure how brave I am though.

I planned on wearing a hot little skirt I bought to show my bf on our date…but seeing it was 21 below zero I decided to scratch that idea.

Since I never wear skirts I thought it would be a nice B-day present (of sorts) for my boyfriend.

Well I tried on this one skirt and it did not make me look that good at all, frumpy even. So no on that one. Maybe one day I’ll specifically go shopping for skirts.

I bought leggings to wear under a skirt. Before you throw stones at me for supposedly following this fashion trend let me remind you I’m not too crazy about my legs and I live in alaska (so I’d wear them for practical reasons too). I have the leggings but no skirts. lol…well I have a few but their more formal and it just wouldn’t work. Maybe one night I’ll suprise my bf and wear a skirt or dress.

It’s not that I don’t want to wear skirts, I just don’t know how. lol.

Two words…thrift store! Of course if I find a truely hideous skirt I’ll have to glam it up. How I’ll do this, I have no idea. It depends on the damage.

I just want to feel more feminine (sp?). I know I’ll think, “Oh, blah, I’m 15 pounds overweight. How could I possibly wear a skirt.” Ummm…easily. I just have to get used to it. There are plenty of women who weigh a lot more than I do and look damn good in a skirt.
