It all makes perfect sense now

As many-a-frustrated husbands and many late night comedians have already bantered about, it becomes clear to me why women take so long deciding what to wear....

It's amazing... when you have more to choose from than simply "jeans and a t-shirt"... yes, it does take a while to make up one's mind.

It's rather like trying to pick out a DVD to watch.

I sit here preparing for a beautiful Saturday, and I am just staring at the skirt drawer. Hummmmmm.....

Unfortunately, it's still too cold for my favorites.

As I have loads of skirts I find it difficult to choose which one to wear so I have resorted to starting at the left hand side of the skirt rack and, moving to the right, wearing each skirt in turn and choosing the appropriate top to go with it. Since there are different lengths there is a wee bit of adjustment in the order on the rack to suit the occasion but it has worked out twice and now it is time to start a third round.

I agree with you Moonshadow. On days (weekends) when I wear a skirt to go out and about, it' a tough decision as to which one, and what shirt goes with it, then what color tights and what shoes should I wear. But I sure do enjoy the hell out of it.

I keep finding skirts I forgot I had. I even ended up with two of the same because the online price was so good, I forgot I had already bought one.

I find my choosing really comes down to a few factors... above all, what am I in the mood for today? I've got some "conservative" skirts that I can wear if I don't want to draw a lot of attention to myself, maybe I'm a little down about something, or I just don't feel like putting up with society's crap. The Macabi's are among them, as well as a few "plain Jane" skirts. If I'm in a pretty outgoing, scandalous mood I may pick something about mid way... a little pop, but nothing over the top. Then there's the days where I feel as though I could spout poetry on the street corner! That's when the really femme, frilly, "peahen" like skirts come out!

Good, warm, sunny, green, non on call days tend to bring out the best in me. On these days, expect full skirts with lots of fabric, lots of flow, lots of twirlability, and lots of color. Then again, I've got a really cool all white one that just screams "I'm in an EXCELLENT mood today!"

Yes, I fully understand what you mean. For me in particular, it's never about just picking a skirt, since I wear women's clothes and shoes on my outings, I also have to coordinate with an appropriate top, footwear and a handbag.

In winter: do I go with a thicker, longer skirt, do I pair it with boots, will I need tights?

In summer: Polo shirts or tank tops? Denim skirts or print skirts? Pumps, flats or sandals?

Decisions, decisions! Usually, I spend an hour or so trying on stuff the day before an outing, then set aside what I choose to wear. That works best for me.
