What are we wearing as we're POSTING, part UNO

[Since1982]

A wooden PENCIL starts with a rubber eraser then a straight wooden part that has the graphite writing part inside of it. Where the graphite part is sharpened to a point and used up until it needs to be re-sharpened is the part of a pencil that a PENCIL SKIRT is named after. Not the long straight 6 sided section, but the tapering part that if worn on human legs, would be tight at the knees and tight at the waist also. This part, when either used for writing or sharpening would be shaped like a STANDARD TAPERED SUGAR CONE. Not anything else. So at the knees it's tight, and at the waist it's tight, like a short hobble type skirt, usually with a tight slit on the sides or in the back. There's been a lot of discussion as to what a pencil skirt is shaped like. Umm...fellas, it's shaped like a sharpened pencil. Nothing else. I think that's about as clear as I can make it. Hopefully.

Pencil skirts are my personal favorite skirts and the ones I've worn for at least 20 years. I've seen dozens of pictures of pencil skirts and they were all described exactly the same.

I'm wearing a floral print dress that I pulled out of the clothes that my former wife left at the house. The top is more like a shirt instead of being a halter, and it is mid-calf length. I also pulled out another floral dress, and black velvet dress that I made for the ex-wife that now happens to fit me. Of course dresses hang from the shoulders so there is no binding around the waist. The skirt of the dress I'm wearing is long enough so there is very little danger of improper exposure. It is also full enough so that I could hold a cello between my legs.

Denim skirt and a grey fleece top and black opaque tights as it is freezing here today.

[Mugs-n-such]

T-shirt, socks, sandals, and a black A-line just-below-the-knee skirt. That's about it, I won't mention the unmentionables.

[Raakone]

RIght now, just a blue plaid nightshirt, to the knees, 100% cotton. Oh, and socks. And a watch and glasses! *LAUGHS*

[Big and Bashful]

Dark blue polo shirt, Midas custom 40" long cargo skirt (My favourite) and socks 'n' shoes. Just travelled back from Englandshire through up to 1 foot of snow and a lot of stuck cars. Entertaining.

[couyalair]

Shirt, two pullovers, overcoat, knee-length woolen skirt + denim longish skirt, long woolen socks.
And that's for INdoors!

Yes, I'm reading about the snow experience in Englandshire and some of County Scotland and I'm glad I don't have to contend with that.

I was up in our Capital City yesterday rowing a racing eight between thundery hail showers, having stayed there overnight following a dinner, so I braved the highways down to my Country Seat in the late morning.
They had cleared two lanes of our (Celtic Tiger) Profligate Pussycat Route 7 in each direction so all was well there. Off it the 5 miles to my isolated Schloss was white ungritted packed snow. Fortunately it's flat around these parts and the only slope of consequence is a railway bridge, fortunately straight. The technique with a mere two-wheel-drive is to calculate the momentum necessary to carry me to the top of the bridge, arriving at walking pace, and negotiate the slope down the other side at that pace. The temperature, by the way had been minus 8 degrees. Amazing for November.
What was I wearing? Sorry guys....Thick socks, Ski pants and lots of layers up top. I also wore a great Russian Army hat bought in Prague one very cold Spring in 1991.

Today, Sunday we ventured out in the Wife's Panzerwaggon (Campervan) to Church as it was Advent Sunday, and the service had been cancelled !!! We went shopping instead....That other Sunday Worship wouldn't be cancelled, no way !

[Since1982]

Straight with a slight / \ taper of dark blue cotton with colorful tropical fishes swimming all over it. Length is just above the ankles to high waist. Dark blue cotton T-shirt tucked in and black Birkenstock sandals. One of my typical cold weather skirts..I woke this morning to bitter cold alllllllllllllllllllllllllll the way down to 72 degrees of bitter bitter bitter cold farenheit.

Just back from my work, through more snow. As a result, shirt, trousers and stout boots are still cladding my corpulant body.

A grey long sleeved top, a grey knee length wool skirt, slightly a line, and for some colour, magenta tights - pretty thick ones too (9 tog I would say).

[Mugs-n-such]

(I can see everybody yawning right now...AND I DON'T BLAME THEM!) a blue t-shirt, black socks, *snip*, and just-below-knee a-line brown plaid skirt. I'll probably start yawning myself here in a minute, about time to "hit the hay" I reckon, I do, I do, I do.

The Emerald Isle is more like Greenland at the moment with the freakiest November weather ever, so I pulled out my long grey skirt which I bought from a German skirts-for-men supplier a few years ago, and am wearing it with long black socks. The skirt is a top-quality job, made of heavy suit fabric and lined to the knee, and nice and warm. Unfortunately I can't find the website any more; does anybody else know anything about it?

Update: Found the site, here it is: http://www.mode-trend-s.de/7.html . I didn't pay anything like the prices shown (though they are very fair); it was a sale price of something like 30 euro.

Wow! Now those are some nice looking skirts, imo.

[Big and Bashful]

Some good looking skirts there, prices look good as well.
