I have 3 dresses and 3 more skirts, and I hardly wear any of them. i cannot recall seeing a woman wearing a dress around here. Currently the snow birds are crowding us out, and they run around in shorts and skimpy tops while we are wrapping ourselves in down coats (Northerners and Canadians, what can one say?). Anyway, because it is so cold (daytime temps barely into the mit 70's), every local is wearing pants and thick, warm tops. No room for dresses either!
And when it finally gets ever warm again, in 2 or 3 weeks, we all wear either shorts or Capris. No room for dresses again!
