Re: International SKIRT Day
Forecast here is around 9C with 30% chance rain and windspeed up to 40 MPH.
Just about to get me porridge and ready for work.
Ok so bang goes the flippy mini and in with a checked knee knee length straight skirt.
As I will be in a relatively warm environment all day, very heavy skirts are not a great idea.
I may top it with a maxi coat that serves exceptionally well in such weather.
We'll see, HAPPY SKIRT DAY whether you wear on or not!

Re: International SKIRT Day
Roughly the same weather here Stevie!
It'll be the beige mid-thigh length skirt for golf (deep pockets front and back - the same one I had on at our Glasgow meet) this morning with black tights and a royal blue sweatshirt!
It's a 12 hole comp but I might just continue and play all 18 holes after adding my score on the confuser.

Re: International SKIRT Day
Well, I had an invitation for dinner (supper) and was going to wear something special but ended up running out of time with half a mix of mortar I didn't want to waste. I just donned a denim mini and shirt I had worn out to a meeting the day before and rushed off. So the skirt I wore most of the International Skirt Day was a ragged dusty little number with an untucked shirt to prevent stone chips and mortar getting caught at the waist.
Sorry folks, I hope others could do better but at least I was in a skirt.

Re: International SKIRT Day
Seems OK to me. I've just been shopping in my dark blue denim A-line skirt and a black jacket. I wore it with a kilt belt, which has a large metal roundel on the front, but I haven't decided whether it looks better without.

Re: International SKIRT Day
I am wearing a navy blue knee length skirt with a charcoal gray top.
Did a couple of chores in town to day including a trip to the post office and grocery shopping. No comments good or bad, no odd looks either.

Re: International SKIRT Day
I celebrated International Skirt Day in my burgundy velvet Mouse Works skirt with a white ruffled shirt and black waistcoat atop. It's a revisit of a look I worked long ago and that's in my Pics and Looks thread, but it hasn't lost a bit of its charm at all. I may actually do this again when my lady friend from down south visits me next month.

Re: International SKIRT Day
That blockwork promises well, Anthony and I can see that you needed to get to the top & use up all that freshly mixed mortar. Your working mini is extremely short, but I expect your Aussie climate favours it.
Unlike you pampered Scots, Stevie & SkT, we had at best 6 deg. Centipede here with 40+ Km/H winds. I took three hours of bright midday time off work (Looking down-in-the-Mouth) to do some essential repairs to our domestic boathouse floor (rotted) and rowboat (stern bungs) preparatory to a 'Sausage Sizzle' down there for our 10 year-old birthday Granddaughter and her brownie friends later on today. I didn't have time to go unbifurcated, alas.

Re: International SKIRT Day
Alas indeed, my good man, such deprivation in the midst of splendour is most vexing methinks.
I trust that your efforts and sacrifice were well appreciated .
Just to add, that my own contribution to ISD was even more comfortable, the coat remained unbuttoned and the breeze ensured that the skirt was on good display to all and sundry.
Today, tis a dress for the office and a convivial engagement on the eventide.
Steve.
Re: International SKIRT Day
Post-Covid (if one can breathe that idiom) first domestic party for g'daughter's 10th milestone went without a hitch, thanks in no small measure to a two-hour weather window during which the planned lakeside sausage sizzle took place and some boating was done, to boot, so my repair efforts down there were not wasted.
Granddaughter has her hand on the bow at the island, after some future Olympian rowers managed to get the boat that far. Such an event at home keeps you young !

Re: International SKIRT Day
And anything that keeps us young -- I'm all for it! For those who missed the opportunity to celebrate in style International Skirt Day, there appears to be another opportunity: May 1st.

This has probably been posted on the site a few times before, and I do not know if there has been annual recognition for the past couple of decades, but the thoughts do not seem to have changed -- so we may need to stay young for a good long time yet!

Re: International SKIRT Day
Good golly a chance for an instant-replay and maybe under better weather for some.
"YES SKIRTING MATTERS"!
"Kilt-On" -or- as the case may be "Skirt-On" !
WHY ?
Isn't wearing a kilt enough?
Well a skirt will do in a pinch!
Make mine short and don't you dare think of pinching there !
