My First Mini - My OH Reaction "OMG it's Ugly"

[Fred in Skirts]

To thine own-self be true!! Be who you are not some one that others want you to be. I wear skirts all of the time at home and when I am out into the wilds of the towns and cities. I do not worry about what others think or say and neither should you. Enjoy your skirts for all your worth! I do!

See my sig at the bottom.

While I do hate to agree with your wife regarding your legs, ultimately I say "IT DOESN'T MATTER. What matters is that skirting makes you happy. Our lives are simply too short to live them in a way that never offends others. If they don't like what they see, let them stop looking. Anyway, I live in the white-trash south; I see 300 lb women in stretch pants when I go to WalMart. If they are oblivious to their own appearance, why should you worry about ugly knees?

Its taken about 5 years to get comfortable wearing skirts in our neighborhood and having the acceptance from wife and children. Yes it's very important for to have my wife's acceptance. When she realized that I wasn't a transvestite or thinking of a sex change the issue was a no brainier. A skirt was just another article of clothing.! It also helped that we moved from Rhode Island to New Hampshire. The people here are wonderful and very accepting. If you are an outdoor type or hard working they accept you with open arms. The same can not be said for Rhode Island.
I can still be comfortable wearing a mini just have to wear tights. No big deal! I like skirt outfits that are coordinated. Often my wife has good advice. A skater skirt just exposes too much. Since I'm an avid hiker, my companion behind me will see everything while I'm hiking uphill.

Hi Mikel,
the skirt looks great if you want to show off your legs. The only problem you might have is when sitting down. I have a denim skirt a couple inches longer that still is a bit revealing when sitting down. Kilts (or mini kilts) have the advantage of the front apron that folds and covers the gap when sitting down.

Your skirt looks great! I have one this length, don't worry about any view when you sit in your skirt, cross your legs and don't worry about it. That's what I do anyway

Pdx, where do you get the idea that only if you shave your legs will the tights stay up. I have NEVER shave my legs and the only times my tights have descended is if the elastic at the top snaps. In which case as a temporary measure I tuck the top of the tights all the way around into the top of my underwear. Voila.

As regarding the skirt I think a wider hem and tights to smooth out the profile of the legs. But if YOH is tolerant of your other skirts then certainly listen to her as she has your best interests at heart and is probably trying to be honest. But it's your call.

Wearing a miniskirt can be a damn tricky thing, even for women, and I've seen more than a few ladies who should NEVER wear them. That said, Mikel, you looked nice to me, just keep on working on the sort of look you want to present and public and do your best to achieve that look. Here's a couple of examples of where I walked the walk when it came to wearing miniskirts on past outings. The blue denim is a 15 incher, the black is 16 inches.
