Quickie: Skirts!

I may be many things, but a girlie girl I'm not. Skirts are not something I've worn for probably a decade, as I grew up going to Catholic school and wore kilts & skirts all my life until college.

But today I've had that "FUCK, I NEED NEW CLOTHES!" moment as I was searching through my wardrobe for something to wear, considering I'm getting my photo taken for a newspaper today (nothing special, just a photo for a story they're doing on something unrelated to this blog) and want to be cuter than I've felt of late.

I happened upon a skirt I knew I was given last summer by someone, and found three more underneath that I completely forgot about. And I tried them on. One looks adorable on me. Who knew?

Now, I wore a dress for a friend's wedding in 2003, but I haven't worn a skirt since '96 or '97, when I'd only worn them at the desperate bidding of my then boyfriend. This is new.

You know what? I love it. I'm going to enjoy wearing this today. I think my shopping priorities have just changed.

This probably strikes you as a strange thing to post on a sex-related blog. "News at 11, smutress wears skirt", but I guess my point is, we get so busy classifying ourselves and staying within our parameters that we fail to realize just how much we change inside over the years, and maybe, just maybe, what used to churn your stomach is now something you long to enjoy... only you just don't know it.

So, try to break out of your mold today, people. Do something you might normally dismiss as not your style. You never know. You might've changed when you weren't even looking.
