Hooray!

After a lot of prayer and consideration, I’ve decided to transition my wardrobe into all skirts/dresses. Unfortunately, our budget is pretty tight, so it’s been a process that’s taken longer than I would’ve liked.

I have some skirts, I made one, and I ordered a long denim skirt for “everyday wear.” Unfortunately, aside from the skirt I made, I don’t really have any skirts I can wear just around the house to get dirty in (housework, normal mommy messes, etc.). My other skirts are nicer. So while I’ve been waiting for my denim skirt to arrive, I’ve been wearing jeans around the house, and becoming increasingly eager for the skirt to get here!

Well, I just checked the tracker online, and my skirt is a mere 150 miles (give or take) from my house! Squee!!

The delivery date says the skirt will be here on the 26th, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it arrived on Tuesday or Wednesday. When it does, I’ll start wearing it, and repurpose my blue jeans into a skirt. (I didn’t want to do this until the skirt arrived just in case it doesn’t work out.)

My wife gets skirts at goodwill and nobody knows were they came from. Most are brand new and still have the tags on them. I guess the thread caught my eye because my wife is dress and skirt only. Best of luck living as a beautiful woman and not hiding it.🙂

Thanks for the suggestion; I keep meaning to visit Goodwill when Hubby and I are out and about. I’ll definitely be looking there soon since we’re doing our spring cleaning and donating all our old clothes to Goodwill.

I love the thrift stores! I only have 2 skirts in my closet that I bought new, and I bought those on-sale (one was $7.99 at Marshall’s). The rest have come from the Salvation Army, Goodwill, or rummage sales. I even bought a nice Pendleton wool skirt for $2.99 at a rummage sale! 👍

Thanks for your comment about living as beautiful women! One very hot day a few summers ago, I was in the grocery store. Most of the women there had on shorts and t-shirts or tank tops, and a few even had on Daisy-Dukes with a bikini-top. :eek: An older man stopped me and said that he just wanted to tell me how nice it was to see a lady in a dress. So see, ladies, people do notice what we wear! 🙂

How nice of him to tell you! And what a nice affirmation about what you wear. Amen!
 
The skirt/dress only philosophy is really interesting. I verrrryyy rarely wear skirts, and in fact am a devoted yoga-pant mom 😛

It’s a very personal decision. It’s the right one for me, but what you wear doesn’t really dictate your faith or how you live your life. To each her own.
