When it comes to skirts, shorts, dresses I'm really not that comfortable in them. I will rather bake in the hot Australian summer sun wearing a pair of jeans then showing my legs. I own one skirt that I will wear around the house on hot days, and maybe neighbors have seen me in it when I've taken rubbish out, collected mail ect. Yet as soon as I leave my driveway I'm back in jeans.
Now yesterday I set myself a challenge. While wearing my skirt grab myself a bread roll from the local shops. Yes I am full time, and I know am seen correctly in jeans and tops but this is way outside my comfort zone. (Have I mentioned how much I hate showing my legs.)
Slightly upset at this morning. (I mean come on mother nature, we had three stinking hot mornings, you couldn't go for four). Still down the street waiting at the traffic lights. Passing people getting ready to go to work and out for their morning walks. Get to the main street pass two local cafes with people having coffee on the street, and pick up my breakfast from the bakery. After that went to the ATM to see how much was in my account crossed the street then put money on my transport card at the newsagency and walked back home.
So I've finally walked out in public (albiet just around my suburb) in a skirt. A friend told me if skirts me don't worry about it. But still I wanted to at least to prove to myself. Who cares what anyone else says.
I can see the appeal to people but I'm a jeans girl. Might wear a skirt another day again but not today or tomorrow. Besides with the tops, shoes and boots in my wardrobe I already have multiple combinations of outfits. Although........ you can never have enough clothes
