If you can pardon me continuing off-topic, this skirt is exactly where I'm at stylistically, with the elegant sweep of the former, but a more classy color scheme. You are guaranteed not to look trashy in this...
Here's what I find about compromise--
don't do it if it hurts inside,
'cause either way you're screwed,
eventually you'll find
you may as well feel good;
you may as well have some pride

I believe she's required to wear the hat otherwise, her fans wouldn't know what kind of music she plays.         ::)

Hi Rebis I was thinking more in line with Gypsy. I lived like a gypsy for a bit over 10 years between 1980 and 1994. Truck and camper everywhere on the Eastern states and Provinces as far as Newfoundland.

Hi Rachael thanks for the laugh. I'm not even certain if there are any real Gypsies left around about. Maybe they joined up with what was left of the hippies. I know a couple of hippie ladies. Actually one of them is a coordinator Wise Woman at the pagan and wiccan meetup.

Along with hoop earings, slickered-down, side-tied pony-tails and an attitude that would make Vin Diesel run scared. Okay, maybe not Vin, but every other man I can think of...

Actually, she's required to wear the hat because the perfume brand she's advertising is Stetson.

Shania skirt is amazing, as well as her cleavage.  >:D

I love the gypsy girl look, flowing skirts, hoop earings and toe rings.  Very appealing but not for the office I suppose.

Even after you said it's an ad, I'm having trouble seeing the product.    Maybe I should rub my eyes with that stetson.  :laugh:

Oh, and yet we should not typecast you?  It warms my heart when people with such obvious preconcived notions ask for tollarence.

Hey, I kinda like old ST.  She is not bad.  (High praise from me by the way).  The fact that she married one of the best rock producers ever, who writes for her, and does her records, well, its her right now.  That she has an endorsement with Stetson, well, good for her, even if her perfume smells worse than a barnyard at high noon.  But hey, I'm a Ardan kind of girl.

Okay.  I just figured out my reaction to a man in a dress.

If I saw a man in a dress, I would tear the dress off.
while he's a-standin' there in his bloomers, I would put on the dress.
then one of you would run up and tear the dress off of me and I'd be in my bloomers.
Then whoever tore the dress off me would put it on themselves while I stood there crying.

So, my reaction to a man in a dress would be for me to cry while figuring out why there's only one dress to go around.



The End,

The answer to this dilemma is thrift stores. There are plenty of nice skirts at thrift stores  ;) ;D

Why people even have issues with perceived men wearing dresses is beyond my comprehension. I mean, it's just a skirt!! I don't like ties. Suppose I start ripping off people's ties when I see them wearing them...  >:D

Ties were invented by the same person who created high heels.  And I like thrift shops / vintage stuff.  People here throw away so much stuff it ain't funny.  I find things with the tags from Macy's still on them.  DKNY even.  I'm not immune to buying nice things, but I want to make sure I'm buying quality, not just a label.  I love shopping, but I loathe to buy anything.  I have a rule that if I bring something home, I have to get rid of something else.  Keeps all that materialism in check.

have to agree with you on that one Tekla, quality is important and definitely got to keep your closet in order, I sure don't want to be on the next episode of What Not To Wear.........lol
