I'm really sorry to hear that you don't get about that much, socially lately.sapphire wrote:Hey Guys,
Let's be fair. Carl raids my closet, not the other way around. And he frequently forgets to return what he "borrowed"
SO don't put that behavior on us ladies!
As for the pants thing. I'm usually found in knit pants and a t-shirt. Its comfy and wearing the "uniform" is a habit.
But, I'm disabled and at home 99% of the time. I see no one, no one sees me. I don't see the need to dress up. If I go out, its to some fancy place like Wal-Mart or the grocery store. whoopie
Of course that may also be because you may live in an area which is sparcley inhabited. I can understand that when people don't get out much, and have maybe very few visitors, then the motivation and desire to get all neatly dressed up slowly dissappears. I know Carl is there, but that is different.
That is something to be watched carefully and be aware fo, as we must not slip into a daily dullness, a depression. Easier said than done.
I am in much the same situation, even though I live in a well populated town, in houses which are in rows of six wall to wall
nobody comes to me, except the post woman, and I really don't have anybody to go to, except my mom, living 500 yards further down the street. So getting dressed up to "show yourself at your best" is something I do only for my own sake. Which is dangerous, because once you get tired, have an easy day, in simple comfortable clothes, there may be not much energy to get freshened up in the evening and put on a nice skirt.I have had two days now, that I was doing some chores outside, at home, in pants ( it was raining and blowing, ) and coveralls, and in the evening I didn't have any desire to put on a skirt.
That woried me.
I was thinking about If I was to get a job, ( I am without a job for four and a half years now) that is very needed, neccessary, financially, but also it may mean that I cannot wear skirts daily, and I would hope that in that case I would have enough energy left for the few hours between comming home and going to bed ( no more sitting behind the computer until ahum 04:38 hours as is the case again now.) to get changed into a skirt. I love wearing skirts, but the enjoyment is not only in house, but out and about.
I really love wearing skirts all day. But as my money is nearly depleated, I will be going less and less into town because I will tire from seeing great new skirts / dresses, which I obviously cannot buy. ( don't have to buy every day) But going into town and "window shopping", but inside, with trying on various items of clothing, is something that I really love to do, and is the only thing that I do actually. And I cannot go into the same shops every day repeatedly without ultimately buying something.
So I hope that I will find something else to do outside, in which I can wear skirts / dresses, hoping also that I do find a job, so that I can fend for myself again. It is so contradicting, no job, having all day wearing skirts, great, but no money, and having a job, but most probably not wearing skirts very often anymore.
They say you can't have your cake and eat it too. ( "get a life I hear someone saying" ) Yes. But how? I don't have a social life, as most social events involved ultimately drinking and of course inhaling other peoples smoke, which I do not want to. (my choice) which meant that I had no other choice than not to take part in any social events. ("If you don't like the smoke go away") so I did.
That is why I understand why so many men ultimately don't wear skirts openly, even if their wives don't prevent them from doing so. Comming home tired afdter a hard day's work, eating, washing, possibly changing into a skirt, play with the kids, fall exhausted on the couch and watch tv for an hour or so before going to bed. When can you then wear a skirt openly?
I think that may be one of the reasons that also there are so few people who submit anything on the forum. They have so little time, and don't get to wear skirts very much out of doors, so there is little or nothing to tell.
That is why it is so important, to if you can, wnd want to of course, wear skirts daily, at work if possible. Or like me, unfortunately jobless
but do have all hours in which to wear skirts except when I need to do chores which are not suited for skirt wearing. And I chuck pants in the washing machine, but am careful with skirts, and wear often skirts that need gentle cleaning ( women's ) skirts. So my all day wearing ability comes at a great cost, literally.
So with all the complications limmiting "skirt time"it is really a wonder it has come as far as it has. There is a lot of promotion to get done to get more men out there in skirts on all day basis.
