Best in Dress & Skirts (What I Wear)

I think one day I woke up and decided I look best in dresses and skirts. That day must have been in the 2nd grade. That school year I only wore pants to school one day for Field Day. My mother made me put them on.

Been standing at my most flattering
angle for years

They were pink casual slacks with a pink polka dotted blouse and pink tennis shoes. Only I had to be forced to wear pants. Guess I've been going against the grain for decades. 

I actually do look better in them. I mean I feel good in most of what I wear. I just like my body in dresses and skirts more. 70% of my wardrobe are shirts & dresses. If someone stole all my dresses and skirts, I wouldn't know how to dress.

Yep, Getting a Tattoo in a skirt

They aren't always the most modest items to wear but they are my go to clothing item. But they are comfortable and cute. And they match all my shoes from heels, flats and sneakers.

Dresses and skirts are also my weight loss indicators. If I put on one and I see a hint of stomach or it becomes shortened because of hip spread, I Must put on a girdle (for the young people & under a rock residers, shapewear).

Needed a girdle, IMO

 If denim skirt won't stay up that means, I've lost weight. Right now I have to buy a few new skirts because of the latter. I have knee skirts that now look tea length on me. That’s not cute.

Lost enough weight for this to
 finally fit right this summer
(No Girdle)

Rather buy new ones than gain weight to make them fit properly.

My only issue with dresses is proper length. I being short in legs and torso, most clothes never looks like it does on the models.

My dress was so short next
to the other
bridesmaid's dresses

Micro mins are minis. Minis are knee length. Knew length is Tea length. Tea length is Maxi and Maxis are dirty because I stepped on them or they are dragging the ground.  During the early 90s, I would pull my skirts under my bust line so they would fit like everyone else’s skirts. Thanks to spandex/polyester knit skirts of the mid 90’s, I could soon stop doing that because no matter what height you were those clingy things would crawl to the “perfect” short length. (My grandmother hated me in those. She “accidentally” shrunk one and sent my grandfather & me shopping to replace it. I replaced it with two more similar skirts. LoL) Now that maxis skirts can be wore as dresses that is how I wear mine as. I fall enough as it is, I don’t need any extra help.

This pics gets lots of compliments

So yeah, I am Best Dressed in a Dress or a Skirt. It’s not just my judgment, the world says so too. I've never been asked out or flirted with in anything but a dress or skirt.

Had a Gloria meets Marvin in Waiting Exhale moment
in the outfit LoL

Most clothing compliment I get are in dresses or suits. Maybe it’s my attitude while wearing them. I'll get back to you on that.
