because they get to wear skirts and dresses. On the airplane today, I saw the most amazing skirt on this earth. It was floor length, sort of thick fabric - maybe wool, and zigzag designs. It was gray with thin, orange zigzags. It was sort of shaped like this:



Women are lucky.

Haha! Be jealous! Women are so lucky we get to wear whateverthehell we want!

Oh, it hasn't always been that way.

You could start a movement for men, zee. A skirt wearing movement. I would support you in this endeavor.

Huh, here I thought you were a dude this whole time.

Actually it's Mrs. Zeez who's lucky.

Zee I have a kilt you could wear.

A family tradition was to walk across stage for high school grad with a kilt.

Did anyone notice it under the graduation robes?

Didn't they try this in Scotland at one point...

Going out on thin ice with this one...

When I was in high school, I used to make clothes. Mostly, I would make turtle necks because I thought they were awesome. I made one with a blue sky cloud design. I wore them with my red jeans and my stake president saw me in seminary and was noticeably disappointed. I felt a little ashamed after that. Anyway, my friend and I once made a skirt for his sister. It was a floor length one and it rocked. We even tried it on. OK, I've said too much.

Oh, and I found a pic that represents the shape of the skirt I saw on the airplane. This was it! Except for zigzags.

I own a lot of skirts, and I love them.

I have a bit of an issue buying them because I'm so tall (6'0", wear a 35"-36" inseam with jeans), so skirts are seldom long enough to be floor length on me, and shorter skirts don't always sit right. Calf-length becomes knee-length, knee-length becomes thigh-length, etc.

This Web site was a godsend though:

I've bought quite a few from their "extra tall" line over the years, and a few of their shorter ones, too. They have four lengths for their floor-length skirts (extra tall, tall, regular, petite) as well as calf-length, knee-length, short-length, plus sizes, and maternity, so there's something for almost everybody there.

This one:



I got in November or December on final sale. It has kind of a funky "poof" to it that isn't easy to see in the image. I wasn't sure about it when I first tried it on, but now I love it. I was in the bathroom in a store, washing my hands, and a woman actually came up behind me and tried to straighten out my skirt, thinking that it was riding up. Made me laugh.

They also have little girls' skirts. Grabbed a pink camo skirt for my daughter for Christmas and she looks oh-so-adorable in it.

by the way, this isn't a skirt proper, but it is one of my favorite articles of clothing:

It can be a skirt, a shirt, a dress, or just a stylish cover for your swimsuit. It is not an optical illusion or some "as seen on television" hoax. You absolutely can wear it all those different ways. Best $20-$25 I ever spent on clothes. Just wore one last night in Style 7 on my date with my husband and it looked fabulous.

Anyways, for you, zeez:

I appreciate the link, Jack.

These skirts are actually very common in places like Fiji. I brought some back for my daughters a few years ago. They've whimsically tormented me for more ever since.
