Long Skirts


Guest Roberta-Belinda

I have a huge range of skirts. I utterly love them! My favourites are the longer, floaty / swishy type that come just below the knee. These let me enjoy my passion for boots and shoes (I have said before: I am the Imelda Marcos of shoes and boots among us girls!). But I do tend to fit the choice of skirt to my mood and the day. Some days I just want a long, ankle-length floaty skirt that keeps my knees and legs warm. Other days I'll go for a short, sexy skirt that I can show off legs and boots. Judging by your replies, we are all much the same? But whatever - I can say one thing: I love skirts! I spend too much time buying them!

Hugs, Eve

Somehow I can't warm up to long skirts. Admittedly I haven't had one so my reluctance isn't based upon experience, just my innate sense that I won't look good in one.

Totally agree with the idea of long skirts. They can be very attractive and feminine looking. I have a good selection of all lengths and will wear whatever my mood (and the weather) dictates. I think most newer CDs tend to like shorter skirts and dresses, I know I did for a long time. After looking at magazines and paying close attention to fashions, I realized that women wear a variety of styles, and we as CDs wanting to be accepted, should also. Always dress for the occasion and you can't go wrong. Loving these forums and the chance to express my feeling and opinions. :P

I love long skirts and have quite a collection of them. I love wearing them with formal slips which I have been collecting for years from the thrift stores. I like them this time of the year the most,they keep my legs warm.

Jenni convinced me to try pants today, the high was -2f. I dunno, the experience was inconclusive, it'll be -15 in the morning, I'll try a skirt then and see if I still think it's adequate.

Make sure you wear a slip as well and remember heat does travel up so i've found that a long skirt with a slip is guide comfortable unless there is a big wind.

Santa is good! I now have many long skirts in my wardrobe. Some are really racy too. Giggle. They help my hips look fuller and I don't look nearly as chunky. Holiday Hug. JodyAnn

"Did you make the shot? Giggle. Hug. Jody"

LOL

Last time I played mini golf I lost the ball in the water trap multiple times that was several putting greens away! Back then I was a bit more tense / highly strung though before I started taking the anti androgen blockers. Maybe now that I am a bit calmer I might be able to keep the golf ball within the putting green? :)

On the original topic of this thread though, I also have recently taken a keen interest in long skirts but I have not figured out yet what top to wear that suits those of us that are extremely broad in the shoulders and skinny in the waist?

I have a few long skirts that I wear on rare occasions, I like short skirts best no contest. Even when its cold, knee socks go well with a short say two or three inch or more above the knee skirt.When out shopping and wearing a maybe to short skirt ,I have had a few disaproving frowns from ladies,Not as Oh! a man, but, like are you a man stealer? Kind of a compliment.They look pretty on someone else.

At THAT distance, she had BETTER have made the shot, otherwise, I would have to revoke her right to wear plaid! ;)

I must admit that with my median stance and youger outlook I only have fairly plain short skirts and dresses worn with jeans / leggings and occasionally tights. I do not own a long skirt but will have to find something suitable just to try. With my active lifestyle I would wonder about it getting in the way (from a feminine viewpoint I am a bit of a tomboy - even still occasionally climbing trees lol).

The temptation for me is to go out one day as totally feminine woman (whatever that is) but I would need to speak right as well as appear so - I would suspect it will be a while. I still feel firmly on the fence, male and female but I love pretty clothes (checkout Japanese Lolita fashion - at the moment really a no no but beautiful!)

      I need to be my nest, but its freezing in here!  And GF is all curled up...she's gonna have to un-curl herself, because I'm gonna shiver to death without snuggles

      "A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the fool's back.  Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him."    Proverbs 26:4-5.....  possibly the first advice about spending time online

      Not of people usually, but places have a "color sense" to me.  Not exactly visual, but like a feeling.  Almost a taste or sometimes tactile.    My home, and the temple of my faith community both have a strong feeling of "silver."  A tasteable, nearly tactile radiance...it means safety, and I seek it out.  It kind of transfers to people associated with those places, like my husband.  I knew he was good the moment I met him.  Some places have a color sense like fire, a combination of red and orange.  As you might expect, it is an exciting or dangerous feeling.  Attractive in a way.  Part of me is drawn toward it, another part of me is skittish of it.  Other places have a blue/green color sense, which can be iridescent toward purple-ish.  Its peaceful and calm.    What I really don't like is a sickly, greenish-gray color.  I can't even describe it fully.  The sense is slimy, slick, cold and revolting.  To me, it is a feeling of intense danger about a place or a person.  I'm usually more oblivious to the other color senses, but this one grabs my attention.  To me, it is associated with pure evil.    One of my strongest impressions of the evil color it happened at a natural spring in a state park near where I live.  I was walking around with a friend and I felt it, and she thought I was totally crazy.  I wanted to leave so bad, just terrified.  Thankfully she followed me out.  I only found out later that a murderer had escaped from prison and was recaptured there...he had been living near the spring, and we were maybe within 200 yards of him.  My color sense probably saved our lives.

      Not exactly.  Me alone - I'm helpless and can hardly do anything.  But with my partners I'm protected and supported, and a lot more things are possible for me.    My husband teaches a lesson to his kids when they fight, I've seen him do this a couple of times.  He'll hand them a bundle of sticks tied together, and tell the kids to try to break it.  Of course, it doesn't work.  Then he takes the bundle apart, and tells them to break the sticks one by one.  One person alone is easily overwhelmed or broken.  Two or more people together can stand firm against adversity.

      When I joined it was purely a play on Maybe. Mae happens to have a couple letters in common with my given name and I started using it when introducing myself to strangers. Since then, actually yesterday, when I caught up with an old friend and told her about my transition she thought she heard "Maeve" when I said "Mae". I could still use Mae as a nickname, it works well with my mother's name as a middle name (she died in 2019 and I love the idea of connecting with her memory more), and my initials wouldn't change if I change my name. So, Maeve it will likely be unless something better comes along. ;)

      I've not had a lot of involuntary action in that department and I'm 6mo in. After 3mo. my T was under 30. My doc wanted labs mid-cycle (3-4 days after my shot) oddly, but I am going to insist on getting trough numbers to determine if T is pushing back when serum E is low. I almost felt like I was going to have MW yesterday morning when I woke up (day of my shot), so I get where your thoughts are on the subject. It would be good to know how long that suppression lasts, not that T&E levels are complete indicators--my doctor doesn't seem to have any plans to check for the broader spectrum of metrics I see a lot on forums like SHBG, etc.

      Take two   blood letting is complete it took two of them pesky little mosquitoes.   our dog came to us mostly potty trained. She had a few “I can’t wait” moments but for the most part she was good.  She learned to ask th be let out. We had a bell on the door and taught her to ring the bell.  Then she learned how to open the door herself.  As long as it wasn’t locked out she’d go.  We had her trained to a hidden fence and collar she would go to the limit and sit and wait for us to tell her it was ok. She has always responded to verbal commands or my whistles.   Oh and there are obvious negatives about a dog knowing how to open doors.  She would disappear and we’d suddenly see her out the window.  Or we’ would let her out and suddenly realize she was sitting with us.  She never learned to close the doors, only open then.
