I would love to wear skirts and dresses more often. I am very short, a metre and a half in a hat as they say, with rather stunted legs. Trousers never seem to work. I have to take everything up, even petites, usually ruining the cut. Plus I have a jelly belly after children so often need a 10/12 on the waist while the rest of the bottom half is a 8/10. Therefore I am often asked if I am wearing harem pants.
Skirts/dresses seem to be the flattering answer but -One BIG problem : where I live.
It has been below 0 since October and we currently have 2 feet of snow. It is like this for 4/5 months of the year. In very cold weather I dress appropriately ie Scott of the Antarctic but I wonder if in March to maybe November I could try the following-
Skirt/ dress
Warm top
normal tights/ Thermal tights/long johns
Riding boots/knee high no heel boots?
I have to keep warm and have to walk long distances. Anyone out there doing this in a skirt?
How do you skirt wearers out there stay warm and practical? Would love to know and copy you furiously.
