Spinoff to slips...

Do you all wear skirts a lot? I never wear skirts--too uncomfortable and legs are never the right temperature.

When I wear dresses or skirts I usually do wear pantyhose, but I am so pale the legs usually look orangey with hose on.

I didn't wear anything on my wedding day because I wore open-toed shoes.

What color tights does everyone wear? To match your shoes? To match your skirt?

See that might me my problem. I co can only make it look kinda ok, with a black skirt ( or black withother colrs, black tights & black shoes, but I don't wear a lot of black. And right now , I don't even have black shoes that go with skirts.

I think tights look cute with boots, but I can never find boots to fit over my fat calves.

I have that problem too! I want a pair of boots so badly but none fit me. I tried out a great pair of Liz Claiborne boots and the didn't even come close to zpping.

In the summer - no.
In the winter - yes.
I hate pantyhose though - they make my feet sweat and as a result, my shoes REEK!
I also hate putting them on. I usually get little snags from the dry bits of skin around my nails. Or, I get the pantyhose to the tops of my legs but the crotch is still about 5 inches too low! So I have to pull the pantyhose all the way down and start pulling from the bottom all over again
And THEN, sometimes you can't tell if they're on backwards until you get them all the way on, and then you realize that the seam down on the foot is under your foot instead of on top. Grrrrrr.......

I am wearing boots & a skirt today. It is an experiment. I bought these boots last yaer , but I usaally only wear them with pants or the occasional long skirt because they are short. The stop just where the calf bulge starts.

The skirt I am wearing comes to mid-knee. It looks cuter than I expected.I am also wearing nude stockings. I also buy ones they are so light they are almost clear, so I don't look orangey.

I wear skirts often, b/c it is easier to find skirts that fit me. I am too lazy to have pants hemmed, so only buy petites & and petites are often smaller in the hip area, so it is hard to find ones that fit.

I dont wear skirts - I am too short for long ones and my legs are too big for short ones.

I did wear a mid-length one for my RD and I sometimes wear dresses to weddings. I will wear pantyhose (they dont bother me) or tights then.

AND I wear knee-his almost everyday with pants!

Yes, I do...always. I actually like the way they make my legs look. I'm too pale to go a-naturale. Even in the summer my legs don't get much color. At the office I always wear stockings. We have a strict business dress code. Even on casual friday it's dressy (business casual). The only time I don't wear them is during the summer w/ a long skirt if I'm out w/ FH. I never liked tights. I wear thigh highs sometimes , but I can't wear knee-highs...those are more uncomfortable to me then regular stockings.

AMEN to that.
I don't wear dresses a lot, just never find the time. I also don't sunbathe for the same reason. Heck I dont even KNOW the last time I saw my bathing suit.

So my legs are W H I T E and my arms are tanned (still pale but no where NEAR the blinding white of my legs) and I don't like my skin tone of my legs. It's just icky. Veins and shadows. EW

So I wear pantyhose when I wear a skirt. Do I hate it? sure, but I hate my legs more. I like the smooth consistancy that a nude color gives my legs.

I like tights too.. but haven't worn them in a while. Most of the time I need to wear a skirt it's a dressy occasion that tights wouldnt work with.

Oh and Knee Highs.. ARGH feels like someone is cutting my thigh off! I'm a big hipped woman. With Thunder thighs.. no WAY are knee highs gonna work. Thigh highs.. maybe for my hubby :)
