Re: How far we've come

Have fun, step out a bit more.... don't fret about a brand or style -- just try a few things on that have a bit of appeal, once you've worn them a few times -- even around the house at first -- they will become comfortable, and off you go! [If you not noticed, I'm an advocate of thrift shops -- che...

Re: Girl talking about men’s skirts on YouTube

The person in the first video definitely rambled, but I enjoyed her passionate defence of men in skirts. And I actually finished the video without skipping.

Re: How far we've come

I don't remember the last time I actually wore shorts, only that the last time I did was because I was doing something where I was sitting cross legged and didn't want to show off my underwear. My current collection of skirts are knee-length Macabis, one for every day of the week plus one for washin...

Re: Friendliness

Hey all, long time, no see. If people give me dirty looks, I can't see them. I've never had anyone even mention my skirts since I started wearing them unless I raised the subject, except for my mum's initial reaction. :P Honestly, I think a big part of my experience is that my white cane trumps my s...

Re: Hi from Colorado

Welcome mskirt. When it comes to wearing a skirt in public for the first time, it helps when you have a skirt similar to what you already wear. For me, that was a black knee-length Macabi since my previous preference was for black or navy cargo pants. I was fortunate in the fact that I didn't have a...

Re: Newby from the north

Welcome. I started wearing skirts myself only a few months ago. :lol: 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: It really is easy

The main thing that held me back was the fear of how people I knew would react, especially my family. The non-physical and non-verbal reactions of strangers didn't enter much into my anxiety since being vision impaired I likely wouldn't have noticed them anyway. My first time out was an early mornin...

Re: Problems with parents

Well I got my skirt in the mail and showed it to my mother. As predicted, she was not happy about it. She said I couldn't wear it in public when she was with me. I felt a little deflated The bright side is that she didn't completely forbid you from wearing it. It's not much, but it's something. May...

Re: Where Do we Draw the Line ?

The place to draw the line is where you're comfortable. For myself, I don't believe I'd ever be comfortable in something with a pattern, though I do think I would be comfortable trying new, maybe brighter, colors, though maybe not pink.

Re: Problems with parents

It's weird. In her mind a kilt is okay. If it's designed for a woman,then it's not okay. She doesn't seem to be totally against the idea of a man in a skirt. I have bid on a mid calf linen skirt on eBay. It's going to be interesting how she reacts. One option could be a skirt marketed as unisex lik...

Re: Decided to do it!

You have crossed a barrier without realising it.  Women often say things like this to each other but there is an invisible barrier that prevents them from saying anything to a man.  A skirt seems to remove that barrier so, even though she knew you were a man, she responded to you as she would respo...

Re: Decided to do it!

Well, first thing to say is people DO notice. No nasty comments or anything like that, but everyone that noticed looked long and hard. It was obvious that once they noticed they also talked to who they were with about what they saw. The people that didn’t look surprised were the people that didn’t ...

Re: parents

... She seams to think that bad things are going to happen she mentioned that one of the neighbors had their windows bricked in because their son was a pedophile. So she must think that will happen to us. There's a world of difference between a skirt wearing man and a pedophile, and you may want to...

Re: parents

Nice work eightofnine. Having gone through the family reveal recently, I know how nerve racking it can be. In my case, the neighbourhood spy network seemed to have been on vacation for my initial outings, because my mum realized by herself that I was wearing a skirt rather than being told by someone...
