You should invest in a linen one like mine!

No but seriously, you're lucky you didn't get arrested. There are hoards of people across the land just itching to make an example out of a mishap like that and paint us all with the same brush of "perverted". Look at what happened to our friend in Valdosta.

Lightweight linen is a great material for hot weather, I am always on the lookout for a linen skirt in the style I like; short, with belt loops and pockets. Crumples easily but I am not worried about appearance when it is hot.skirtyscot wrote:renesm1 wrote: P.S. Despite wearing a kilt, I still managed to feel too hot and bothered

Nice story.Charlie wrote:Next door, there live twin girls, six years old. The've seen me many times in various skirts and we've had many conversations about me wearing them.
Today, I was working in the garden, minding my own business and wearing a knee-length denim skirt - sunny day, so nice and comfortable.
The girls had a visitor, another girl of about their age.
"That's Charlie, he wears a skirt!" said one of the twins.
"A skirt?????!!!!" said the visitor. I'm sure I heard the main circuit breaker, or at least several fuses pop inside her head. She'd obviously never contemplated that a male could possibly were anything but trousers. They wanted to see the skirt, but it meant I'd have to climb on to the fence, so I declined. Five minutes later they were playing happily again.
Hopefully the idea of males wearing skirts had been planted in her mind and will grow to some form of acceptance in the future. It just seems so wrong that girls are brought up taking for granted that they can switch between skirts and trousers without a second thought, while boys are told they must only wear two tubes - or at least not told they could wear a skirt if they wanted to.

No wonder, those people are the way they are. But that they exist in the first place...dillon wrote:We stopped in a town in Arkansas for gas and lunch, and I popped into a Walmart to buy some sodas and beer, only to discover it was a dry county. I didn’t think such things existed outside Utah, but that revelation was enough for me to become aware of the odd looks.
I think Kentucky has a few of those.... and if you want strange looks... take a stroll up highway 23 in eastern Kentrucy and stop for gas or a bite to eat in your skirt...dillon wrote: didn’t think such things existed outside Utah, but that revelation was enough for me to become aware of the odd looks.
I guess I won't be the only one who is curious as to what you bought.Happy-N-Skirts wrote:I was shopping for skirts yesterday because with the end of summer near, the new styles will be out and skirts will disappear. A young lady asked if I needed any help as I may have stuck out as a male in the women's department. The store is not arranged by category, but by brand and they are separated all over the store. I told the young sales associate I was looking for short "masculine" skirts and she must have taken that as a challenge and commenced to lead me around the entire floor of a large department store. She knew exactly what I was looking for and was making decisions about what would look the best and what would be appropriate and comfortable. Our conversation included how long I had been wearing skirts, why, and how I started. She thought everything I said was logical and agreed about the comfort and freedom, unlimited stride, and ventilation. It's funny that the skirts worn by women in the military were impossible to run with. I think and hope they have changed.
After walking around the store, looking at the inventory on her portable computer, digging in the back room, we settled on eight skirts. Some were "office" style, some were "active" style, some were "casual." I said I would like to try them on and we went to a dressing room. I changed into each one and came out to show her and seek her opinion. I need to know from another person's perspective how conspicuous I appear, especially in back where I can't see. She made comments, asked me to turn around, and asked questions. I was noticing that each time I came out of the fitting room she was getting nervous and excited. She was very nice and I could tell she was noticing the bulge in front, which I worry about and always wear a tee shirt untucked in an attempt to cover up. Between she and I we decided on three skirts, which I followed her to the register to buy. I told her she was pretty and I get dazzled around pretty girls She was ordinary and a little over weight." She had a slight movement like a chill. I also had a rush. Her name was Marelen, not Marilyn. I was afraid to say anything near sexual innuendo or harassment.
Message to any guy if they want to meet girls: shop for women's clothing, lingerie, or skirts, with the help of a sales associate. I am very happily married and not in the market for anything extra. If I was I would have hit on her even though she was much younger than I am.
My wife and I went to Red Robin for dinner and I wore one of my new skirts. I live in a very hot climate and it was refreshing until leaving and my thighs stuck to the seat cushion. Small price for so much comfort.
