I am wearing...

a lot more skirts these days, which I've been designing with Sew What Skirts. I do still wear the occasional pair of slacks, but I find I'm much more comfortable in a skirt. It's been unusually cold this winter, but that hasn't bothered me as much as I thought it would. I have a couple pair of footless tights that I wear on bitter days. Since my skirts come to mid-calf, I can get away with knee-highs. At Payless, I bought a couple pairs of tennis shoes that look like mary-janes. When everything goes on clearance, I'm going to get some Privos, which are of higher quality and offer more support for my bad feet. Dressing this way, I feel so feminine. Femininity is so much more fun than feminism.

"The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity." — Margaret Nadauld, Becoming Women of God
