I'm of an age where I think that bare legs look at best "unfinished" and at worst "trashy" so that puts me at a distinct disadvantage in this argument. So, here it was here slated to get to about 90 (F) today and I opted for fishnets instead of opaques or sheers. "Fishies" do offer a larger exposed skin area so help dumping excess heat overboard, but even they oddly have insulation value, likely by way of disrupting the boundary-layer of air around the legs. (When it tops 90, even I concede defeat and wear the briefest sort of lightweight socks that keep skin off shoes and go bare-legged -- and it's been a very long time indeed since my legs actually looked good without some sort of covering.)

The look today was my yellow mini, a dark red silk blouse with sheer sleeves, my purple waistcoat, purple fishnets, and black shoes.

With that, I had a reasonably nice conversation with a chap who was smoking a butt outside my local when I arrived who asked, "Why?" and I told him that the rig was cooler than trousers and w heck of a lot more comfortable. I was more interested in the fact that the ash-can was smouldering than anything else and after pleasantries were exchanged went inside to order dinner and a Guinness and alert the bartender to the pending problem outside.

During my recent vacation while in Las Vegas I did go out into the 100 degree weather with thigh-highs on one evening. I don't really think it made much difference in that heat.

Stopped and got an extra case of beer. :lol:

I'll never give up pantyhose - even when it's hot, they wick away the moisture... seriously, my legs are usually more comfortable than my arms.

I can cope with tights or pantyhose in hot weather because my skirt provides good ventillation and I figure I'm still better off than people I see wearing jeans and other full-length trousers.

Usually, though, I do go without in summer just because they're not a summer style. It'd be like wearing a sweater or sweatshirt or stocking cap, no matter how lightweight.

Odd, though: there I am walking around in a skirt and heels and worrying about what people would think of my tights. I guess sometimes we're not as rational as we think.

Just remember that you've had too much beer when you run out.....And I've been out for a long time......

It's so hot that I...

Have markedly increased the consumption of Radler.

Lager style beer with grapefruit, highly recommended as a Summer drink. Usually fairly low alcohol, very refreshing. Rickards makes a nice one, but if you can find it, Brewhouse is excellent!

On a separate not, my legs have finally achieved sufficient colour that I don't feel they look weird without hosiery.

Too short for me, but not a bad look on you.

The pattern on the skirt (what little of it there is) is interesting.

Great to see and read your post again. At first glance I thought you had a Star Trek top on!

Welcome back SD, it's nice to see your smiling face once again. Still wearing those muted coloured skirts, I see. If the weather down there is anything like up here then you'll be cooooollllll. :D

PS I love the skirt.
I believe in offering every assistance short of actual help but then mainly just want to be left to be myself in all my difference and uniqueness.

A big welcome back SD. Nice to see you once again. I like the skirt too, a little short for me but you wear it well.

YES - a big WELCOME Back ! ! ! ! !

Short skirt ? - never too short if you can fit into it and wear it !

? The two black pouches with the belt something with the skirt or other ?
Noticed you have a cross shoulder bag - you are packing a lot of pocket power to the outfit.

Can't say enough how great it is to have you back and posting !
"YES SKIRTING MATTERS"!
"Kilt-On" -or- as the case may be "Skirt-On" !
WHY ?
Isn't wearing a kilt enough?
Well a skirt will do in a pinch!
Make mine short and don't you dare think of pinching there !
