New skirt

Yesterday I was cruising through a local Walmart picking up a few items for an outing and of course had to cruise by the skirt racks to see if any new spring skirts might be of interest. I spotted a rack that included a mix of shorts and skirts that seemed to calling out for a closer looksee. After a quick look I grabbed one and tossed it in the cart and headed for the self check out. I was quickly out the door and headed for my planned outing with several friends at the local rifle range. Later that afternoon after kinda forgetting about the skirt I pulled it out of the bag and I examined it closer and to my dismay it turned out to be a skort. I generally don't even like skorts on women, but I figured try it anyway. It fit very well and looked really good as long as I disguised my waist a little with a large sweatshirt. From all outward appearances one could not really tell it was anything but a conventional skirt. My wife was even a bit impressed and she is not a skirt person, on herself or me. I wore the skort most of the night around the house it felt good but the feeling was just not the same as a true skirt. I examined the construction of the garment and discovered it would be a simple matter to remove the shorts part of it without any perceptable butchering and have a regular skirt. The price was just $10 and I will most likely go back and buy several more particularly the denim skort. It's called a stretch skort by White Stag.

Walmart tip: If you want to get into the size range you would wear quickly look for the colored coded plastic clip on the hanger. In my case green indicates size 16 and above to about 24 and the size is printed on the clip.

Must be Karma. I was cruising through my local Wal-Mart yesterday as well and saw the skorts that you mention.

What impressed me were the colors! Yay! Colors!

I just got home from my local Wal-Mart. I was very disappointed.
Since I wear a size 20W I shop the woman's dept, nothing but
capris, jeans, shorts, no skirts or skorts to be found. So I ran
over to Fashion Bug, same story not a skirt in sight. I guess the
buyers don't think larger sized people want to wear skirts.

Bought a tennis skirt at the adidas shop in castle rock the other day and wore it home from the springs, it was much better than any pair of "tights" that I could've had on, nomatter how much they wick sweat. My legs were on fire and having a pair of shorts on helped, of course they were short so having a skirt over them (built in) covered them so I wasn't seen as "possibly gay" or something stupid like that.

I always thought the reason for the lack of larger sizes was the lack of demand. But I have since found out it is the opposite - the large sizes are more popular - women hare larger now than in the past due to better diet (or not depending on who you listen to) plus the amount of skirts we men are buying must be affecting sales.
