Youve made it when.....

[Tackleberry]

You put a pair of trousers on and youre mum asks "not wearing a skirt today then"

[skirtingtoday]

Yup - Youve certainly made it!!

Yee-Haa!

[crfriend]

Yes, you have arrived.

My wife is getting used to me being in trousers again pretty much full time, but beams somewhat when I do put on a skirt as it indicates that I'm happy.

[STEVIE]

Here's another one, wear a skirt, no comment, wear trousers and still no comment.
That was my work experience this week.

And so it should be Stevie. Tolerance does seem to be much better these days.

I was trousered at my choir practice last week. There were a couple of comments, but I think it was more because I was wearing a suit, and people were wondering if that meant I had found gainful employment again than anything else. (I had only been at a job interview, unsuccessfully as it has since turned out.) On other occasions, my trousers have not raised any comments, and I agree it is best that way.

However I did manage to garner quite a few second glances a couple of weeks ago when I turned up in a black sweater, black skirt and red tights. I think the tights were a bit much for some people, but I like them. However the poor substitute conductor appeared not to have been warned, and he just couldn't believe his eyes. He stared, open-mouthed, when I strode in and sat down, and for the next 10 minutes his eyes were drawn irresistably to my colourful pins! It didn't help that I was in the front row, in full view.

This is an interesting item. It's great to hear of all this acceptance !
I have been wearing skirts at home lots recently. My daughter and her partner, who are living at my house for a while, are fine with my skirts. My oldest daughter who comes in to do office work two days a week is also fine. My cleaner has seen me in a skirt quite a few times. I have answered the door to the window cleaner & the parcel delivery girl. We had the telephone company engineer in fitting faster broadband Internet this week while I was skirted and no problems.
Yesterday I went out to fill up the truck with fuel and buy milk at the filling station. The chap at the desk was looking at me every time I glanced over whilst I was filling up. No problem when I went in to pick up milk and pay. There were three young teenagers in the shop and I thought this could be interesting, as they were gathered right by the door. I just steamed on right through the middle of them and not a titter!
So I think it's looking good on the acceptance front ?
Whenever I post things like this I always hope that I am not tempting fate!

[Caultron]

Sounds like a great outing!

Are you beginning to see that people really don't care what you wear?

[couyalair]

"People don't care what you wear."

But I'd like to know what goes through their head sometimes.
For example, when you there's a knock at the door (repairman, Jehova's witness, postman ...), you open it, and there's the briefest moment of silence before they say hello!
Since I am in skirts and kilts all the time, this happens quite often, but, whatever they think, they swallow their surprise, and there has never been a mention of my clothes. It's business as usual. Does not mean they like or approve, but what does it matter?

I imagine, "WTF, odd, but oh well."

[Tackleberry]

Yup - Youve certainly made it!!

Yee-Haa!

I couldn't belive it when se said that actually

[JohnH]

In the Dallas area it is quite warm in the fall. I was participating in a community chorus that performed a Christmas concert. I might add I sing second bass.

In September and October I wore only skirts to the rehearsals and nobody said anything about it. When there was a cold snap I wore pants, and I got ribbings big time from a couple of the men for wearing pants!
