They are so comfortable, and I almost only wear long skirts so I can do anything in them and I could go on forever. I'm like you (larger hips, smaller waste - and hey, I'm fifteen years younger, so don't feel bad) and so I've always looked better in skirts, and had an easier time fitting in them.<BR/><BR/>I used to wear a lot more dresses too, but I've been nursing/pregnant since marriage, so it's rare I can find a dress that works for either/both. <BR/><BR/>And I love goodwill.

Very little brings me joy quite as much as a $100 dress in prime condition purchased for $2.50.<BR/><BR/>But of course, Yvil. We are destined to be at odds. <BR/><BR/>Ah see, Sue, that is my problem. I'm a faux feminist and I don't know what true feminists think. I just know I want to do what I want to do when I want to do it, and if someone tells me I can't because I'm a girl, then I am very likely to use some mighty unfeminine language. And I claim the same privilege for all womankind.Jamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11049138813340800745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277361803634899411.post-83671714332345100362009-01-25T20:13:00.000-08:002009-01-25T20:13:00.000-08:00"As a pseudo-feminist, I oughta be against the con..."As a pseudo-feminist, I oughta be against the concept of wearing a dress."<BR/><BR/>Whyever for?
