I Wear Dresses and Skirts

A Previously Unrecognized Joy

By: ACuriousStudent

Written on November 2nd, 2012

I used to wear jeans almost exclusively but things change. Now I wear jeans for a few hours each week for horseback riding lessons and that's it. For the rest of the day I am in a skirt or a dress. I have taken to wearing skirts and dresses to the exclusion of all else for the last several months (5 months? 8 months? I wasn't really paying attention. lol) and I am feeling more feminine and girly than ever before. It's a feeling I treasure and it is building my confidence. I never really felt sexy before but I do now more than ever before. It's wonderful! I really enjoy wearing long skirts but have been trying to introduce different lengths for variety and to see how I feel in them. I like pencil skirts because they look so good on me. I would love to find a sweater dress that looks great on me and that will keep me warm as the weather turns colder. And I have discovered the joy of boots for fashion instead of just for working around horses. This is a new side of myself that I am thoroughly enjoying and it never would have happened if I had not had some....encouragement. I never would have guessed skirts and dresses would have this big of an impact on me!

I like pencil skirts as well. Dad's rule is to only wear skirts/dresses and stockings and he doesn't allow trousers at all. I don't ride mind!

  What do you mean, "dad's rule"? From your avatar note, you are an adult. Wear what pleases you.

  I'm 20 but live at home and Dad has rules about dress etc which I have to follow if I want to live there. It's not so bad.

[I inadvertently mis-keyed something so an incomplete version of this may appear. Sorry if it does.]
Good for you for exploring new tastes and styles to suit yourself!
Most of the women I know socially wear trousers of some sort, typically jeans, casually. Maybe for some it's a change from wearing smart but plain dresses at work. Yet when they choose to dress for something like a semi-formal dinner, they do so very elegantly without ostentation or overt sexuality - though as a man obviously I notice them! - and I wonder if for some it is as a refreshing change from the plain work-skirt and the casual jeans?
On my side as it were, I'm in plain trousers and T-shirts for work and play, so it is a change for me, a sort of treat to myself as well as respect for the company I'll be in to wear a suit and tie when appropriate (usually funerals and dining out). Perhaps many women think the same for themselves?
As for Pixiecutlover's misanthropy - of all the many men and women I have known and still know in my various work and social circles, I cannot think of any to whom such a sweeping insult (about control and superiority) would apply. Or am I lucky in the circles in which I move?

I too enjoy wearing skirts and dresses. But I do find I need to wear pants for some activities like yard work, camping, hiking, climbing ladders, etc.

yes skirts look more feminine, I rarely wear jeans, never like them though I like shorts, but I always love skirts, Pencil skirts are also sexy as it nicely highlights outline of below waist

  I totally agree, pencil skirts are awesome. I love how flattering they are and they are usually of a length that makes them easier to wear than some of the shorter skirts. And thanks for commenting, I love getting comments:-) lol

Pants are alright, but kind of terrible at the same time. They're good in cold weather, or when doing some kind of work where it's better to have both legs free. In general though **** pants. Also there's a serious lack of style. I mean yeah, pants come in numerous designs, fabrics, colors, ect, but overall it lacks the almost infinite variety that can be found in dresses and especially skirts.

  lol Yep, that's another way to look at it. I am discovering the variation in skirts and dresses. My favorites so far are the longer skirts like maxi length and I think mid-calf would be really nice too. Short skirts are hard to wear.

Curious, as a man who prefers dresses to jeans I can totally understand how you feel about them :-) I don't consider myself a "woman trapped in a man's body"; it's not some sexual urge for me. It just feels so much more relaxing to have a skirt flowing around my legs. I think the world would be a happier place if everyone wore dresses!

It is now time to "graduate" to mini dresses sans panties.

  I can appreciate the thought but I have never really cared for mini dresses. If I'm allowed to I might, when I'm a mini version of me, give them a try:-)
