Very goth today.
Black sheer tights,
Black fitted dress shirt
My pleather-like knee length, tight skirt with the long side slit
Motor cycle boots
Loose fitting belt.
Trench coat.

Went to pay my rent at the storage space. No one in the rental office noticed or mentioned my skirt, even though due to their construction project I had to step over an obstruction in the entrance way, requiring me to move in such a way that exposed the front and side of the skirt. Following that I went to get some lunch, but seeing the unruly crowd I chickened out and went through the drive through. To compensate I made absolutely no effort to hide my legs and hemline with my coat. The sun was shining, and the sight of my legs coming out of the shiny skirt was so nice to see. The tights in the sun made my legs look great.

This was the first time I had worn a skirt outside for nearly a month. As you all know I had to move back in with my mother which has severely curtailed my skirt wearing. I will endeavor to continue pushing forward when I can.

Today was rather interesting. My car's exhaust was busted (again) so it was in the shop, and I banged a personal day from work (and a splendid day it way, too, weather-wise). So, what'd I do?

I spent the latter part of the morning at the town's senior center helping out with "Wii Bowling" (Yes, that's the video game; it turns out it's rather popular). At the time I was dressed in a calf-length black tiered "gypsy" skirt, my red waistcoat, and a lavender dress shirt. Sapphire also had business with the office of the Town Administrator (which I was there for). Nary a whisper was heard about my attire.

After "Wii bowling" came lunch at the usual watering-hole. No comments.

Later in the afternoon, I went to collect my car from the mechanic. No comments, even though I pressed the staff for precise reasons why the dratted thing failed yet again (they repaired it under warranty, but I suspect a deeper problem).

I'm beginning to think that either (1) blokes in skirts don't evoke much trouble or (2) I'm such a fixture in my little town that nobody takes any notice.

Well, I am wearing a denium skirt that is slit down the front. Nude legs sheer comfort hose, and a black metallica tshirt. I went out this afternoon wearing this outfit. Me my wife and kids went to a hot dog stand and grabbed some chilli dog's. The only problem I had was I wasn't allowed to get out of the car by my wife cuase she doesn't like the fact that I wear skirts. So I sat in the car most of the time. Then I came home and fell asleep on the bed in said skirt. So so far it's been a good day and an great day for wearing a skirt!

Your wife restricting you like some child really speaks volumes on her acceptance of you. There is none.
Sorry to say, but that is what I see. Have you asked her why? Have you told her that she shouldn't be seen in public in t-shirts, or jeans, or other such?
Most likely not.

I wonder what would happen in your town if "another" skirted man came visiting? I can see it now.."gawking townsfolk staring, and saying, OMG, OMG, OMG, they're spreading"..Then again, maybe I'm just delusional. :!: :alien: :!:

Flew from Denver, Co. To San Jose, Cal. for 7 days. Went sightseeing , attended a conferance, the usual stuff. Didn't take any pants, wore skirts the whole time except when I was at a clothing optional resort, where I was nude part of the day, it was cold.
I saw a few glances and smiles at the skirts, one comment, inquiring if I was cold when I was wearing a knee length skirt with tights and boots. One woman said she liked the skirt I was wearing.
The strongest look was at the airport upon departure, when a rather large woman in a short skirt gave what appeared to be a look of disapproval.
During cool weather I some times wear black tights with shorter skirts, mainly because my legs look better, the tights cover up some scars. Once I tan a little my legs look better.
Skirt on,

In a Bi Plane? That's a long time to get from Denver to San Jose. I believe you had lots of time for sightseeing, in slow motion.. :twisted: :twisted:

We have friends that have worked at that CO Resort Bareman. Nice place. Unusual for it to be cold, but the weather is a little cold in the area right now. Not so here.

Out and about? Yeah, I travel out and about in my skirted rigs...

Yesterday: It's early May, and it was nice yesterday. I opted for one of my homebrew minis (the burgundy one) and a matching dress shirt, sheer legwear (there's still a slight chill in the New England air), and my normal black loafers.

Today: Out for lunch, it was a white dress shirt, red waistcoat (w/pocket-watch), black calf-length knit skirt, black shoes, and shocking-red opaque tights (it's cooler today than it was yesterday).

I have to admit it, the minis are fun. One needs to be careful in them, but dang they're fun!

Drove to Albq, N.M. from Denver, Co. Fri. to watch my oldest grandson compeat in a small robot competion. Very interesting what these kids are doing.
Didn't wear a skirt because he is not comfortable yet with me in a skirt so I wore jeans. I did put on a skirt to drive back.
I have to say , I saw more women in skirts in Albq. than I have seen anywhere else.
I also find that kids are more open in there expresions when seeing a man in a skirt, mostly smiles, some quizical looks. Adults, some smiles, quick glances, comments have all been positive from men and women. I mostly just go about my business and don't watch the passing crowd for responses or looks.
skirt on

Was fairly windy today, so I wore my MacKenize kilt, which is 9 yards of military-weight wool. Bottle green kilt socks with green flashes, a pair of harlequin pattern knee socks over the kilt socks with the turnover of the kilt socks covering about 1/4 of the knee socks, black t-shirt, and a pair of athletic shoes.

Skirted since 2/2002, kilted 8/2002-8/2011, and dressed since 9/2013...
