ach buda what's -1?! Come on now -15 and you can wear jeans! Actually when it's -15 I don't leave the house.

I wear skirts in winter. It's no big deal if you're just getting out of a car and into a building. I don't wander round parks in them though. But I don't wander about much fullstop in winter.

In my case, wearing skirts came from going out with Russian men. They will fawn all over you all day, buying you flowers, opening doors, combing your hair and all sorts of weird things like that if you wear a skirt. If you wear jeans they don't.

So I got into the habit. Apparently even in winter in Russia women manage to wear skirts all day. Dunno how though.

My problem with skirts/dresses in winter is what footwear to wear with them... not great at wearing heels (well in daytime anyway) and flats seem to look frumpy with tights...

I wear boots all winter.

Long boots, flat or fairly flat with skirts (no idea WHY, just what I have)

I wear high heeled ankle boots with trousers or jeans

I wear hiking boots if it gets desperately snowy, icy etc but I ´just try and hide from that kind of weather generally.

I too admire Sarah Parrish.

So obvious the wedding planner is going to get it on with one of the lesbians..

I am wearing rather a lot of skirts atm - due to all my jeans being tight post Christmas. I am trying to be good though and have several fruits, a raw carrot and a bottle of water sat on my desk.

have lovely dark grey opaque tights from Gap
very soft and comfy too
should have bought about 10 pairs as I bet they won't have any more when i go back-probably flogging summery nonsense already
