Newby from the north
Newby from the north
Just to say hi to all, having found this site. I've only recently taken up skirting, and what a revelation! It has to be the most comfortable garment to wear in this hot weather. I took the plunge two weeks ago, went into a charity shop and bought a just above the knee pleated denim number. I've worn it everyday since (just ordered another denim from ebay).
I was worried about wearing it in public at first, then thought **** it and went into Morrisons, and apart from a few double takes, no one seemed bothered. Empowered by that, I wore it to my local this last sunday, once again no one was bothered. So now all the village has seen me in it. I feel liberated!!
Many thanks to the schoolboys last year, and the builders in the news recently for their inspiration! I don't think I would have done it otherwise!

Be proud to wear a skirt or dress, they are just clothes. Yes , they are for men too

Glad you have thrown caution to the wind and are enjoying your new found freedom. Hopefully you will be an inspiration to others around Whitby.bridkid wrote:Just to say hi to all, having found this site. I've only recently taken up skirting, and what a revelation!

I do hope the good men of Whitby will follow my lead...! Just one thing you could help me with, as I'm not too tech savvy, how do I post pics to the site?SkirtsDad wrote:Glad you have thrown caution to the wind and are enjoying your new found freedom.

Well done Bridkid!! Welcome aboard!
Personal style is important to me. Even when my outfits may contain skirts, tights and great ankle or riding length boots! I enjoy fashion and am excited to get in on the conversations with the like minded!

Hello and welcome, bridkid.
Second time out in a skirt and you are down the pub - respect! Sounds like you have cracked this skirt-wearing malarkey already.

Hi, and Welcome! You did well just getting out there, the biggest fear is that of what we think others will say or do. Mostly nothing as everyone is too wrapped up in life.bridkid wrote:I do hope the good men of Whitby will follow my lead...!

Administrative note here: Most sections are public-access, which means that anybody can look at them and that search-engines can index them and even scrape images. There are a couple of sections that are members-only access, and if one is going to post imagery that's where it should be done.JoePublic wrote:No one can see pix unless they are logged in.

Greetings and welcome to the best cyber place on earth to be, SkirtCafe!
Re: Newby from the north
Thanks! Thing is I reckon it's all about mindset. To me a plain skirt is just a piece of cloth, I wouldn't wear anything overtly feminine, I believe dresses, high heels and makeup are purely for women, that's how I rationalized it to our lass, and she is perfectly ok with it, even happy to be seen out with me skirted.skirtyscot wrote:Hello and welcome, bridkid.

Re: Newby from the north
Welcome. I started wearing skirts myself only a few months ago.
Saying "f*** it" was pretty much how I worked up the courage for my first outing too, and now going out skirted is as natural as breathing for me.

Re: Newby from the north
Bridkid, not only do you have the right attitude, your other half has an accepting attitude. That's the right attitude too, from our point of view. You are very fortunate in that, as you will be aware if you have had a browse through this site.
Keep on skirting,

Hi there bridkid, in relation to the widespread nature of the site members you are practically on my doorstep. There are another couple of members who are relatively close. Do join in as you will get more out of the site if you participate.
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.
