Very Positive Day

[cessna152towser]

I had been undecided whether to wear shorts or a Midas jeans skirt for an outing by train to the National Railway Museum's sub collection at Shildon in the North of England, where the first steam passenger train started from in 1825.
In the event the jeans skirt proved an excellent choice. Nobody appeared to take any notice, apart from a group of four teenage girls who asked why I was wearing a skirt and I replied because it is comfotable. They were all agreed that I looked cool in a denim skirt. Now if an old guy with a paunch and varicose veins can look cool to teenagers, think of the swoon factor if some of you younger guys wore skirts more often.
Then in the evening on my drive home from the railway station I stopped at a rather posh place, intending to have only a bar meal as I considered I was too casually dressed for their restaurant. To my surprise I was offered a table in the restaurant, which I would not have been allowed into if I had been wearing shorts.

Great report C1T. It's amazing how easily raised eyebrows are disarmed when the obvious facts ("it's comfortable") are pointed out.

That is awesome! I know a denim skirts looks much better than a pair of shorts.....

I wonder if the restaurant's reaction would have been different had you not been wearing a t-shirt with the Scottish flag on?

Given Cessna's bearing and, likely, demeanour, probably not. There's something to be said for confident and self-assured folks who don't stick things in one's face, and even he admitted to a bit of surprise.

Personally, I'd have drawn the line at the T-shirt -- Scottish theme or no -- if I'd been the Maitre'D, but I'd do that for the womenfolk as well. One does have to have standards, after all. Cessna did mention that the place was "posh".

Cessna -- As always, you carry your looks well, even the "casual" ones. Nicely done .

I didn't know the T-shirt had a Scottish theme, with the cow in the picture I thought it was an ad for a Dairy Farm or something like that. As usual, a very well done look, Buddy!
