I live in Michigan, and I’m actually warmer in a longer skirt over a slip over cotton tights or leggings than I am in jeans. When I’m going out into the snow, I wear tall boots, and if I’m going to be indoors, I wear Danskos. I like their Marcelle style the best for wearing with casual skirts. zappos.com/n/p/p/122567.html
I love Crocs too. I have several pair and even one pair I use exclusively for in the house. I have a pair of them in the MaryJane style (no longer made) in aqua-green and now a pair of the newer ones in black. I will be going back to the store at the end of the week after pay day to get (maybe) another pair because they will be about $15.00 on clearance!I’m not the one to give advice on footwear. I missed inheriting the shoe gene from my mom (who adored buying shoes and had different shoes for every outfit), plus i have large feet and a deformed navicular bone, which means i have to wear orthotics and shoes with really good support…meaning tennis shoes. I wear New Balance most all the time (I’m supposed to wear them in the house, yick), but when I’m being bad I wear Crocs. i started wearing them when I was pregnant with #3–my feet were so swollen they were the only things that fit. I love crocs–and I need to get a couple new pairs. They look okay with the long skirts, and if you’re wearing a denim skirt, even more so.
For the winter, boots would be good, I think. Some tall ones that are casual but comfy.
Well, my orthotics were custom made and cost over $400.
I don’t think we could afford to get another pair made just for Crocs, but maybe when money isn’t so tight i’ll look into that. My podiatrist does not approve of Crocs or clogs or anything that doesn’t have ankle support for people with feet like mine. They’re cheap, and I get the lightest weight ones I can find for summer. I used to wear them all the time in Catholic high school (skirts every day, ya know!). It took me a few weeks of gym class freshman year to realize that I was one of the few girls wearing a slip–everybody else was wearing boxer shorts! 
I was going to plug the Dansko Marcelles (mary janes) but I see that CarrieH has already done so. Check out her link. I’ve never worn mine with skirts but there’s a student on my campus who only wears skirts and she’s always wearing these. It’s a cute look.
I know what you mean about the cost of orthotics ( I have a pair for “flat feet” and plantar fasciatis but I don’t use them often because they don’t go well in my summer shoes - I should try to see if I use super sticky double side tape to keep them in place in the shoes, it might work!). That is why I suggest that you ask “the next time” you go for orhotics because they do wear out after time - a long time to be sure but still, in time.Well, my orthotics were custom made and cost over $400.
In the summer, I wear men’s boxers instead of Cuddleduds, for the reason you mentioned.
. Sorry.For any plus size woman who is expecting Lane Bryant does too, on-line.
.I had a pair of Dansko clogs that I ended up selling on e-bay. They were too heavy and the soles were not flexible. I didn’t find them comfortable.
Have you looked at the www.boden.co.uk website? They had two different long skirt styles last week!
I just don’t like those ‘streetsweeper’ skirts.I was wondering if any other ladies on this forum have felt a pull to dress more modestly, and if you have, what changes have you made to your wardrobe. Because they’re more comfortable for me, I’ve been wearing, every day, some long denim skirts I bought a while back for church wear.
On the occasions I’ve been out walking in the neighborhood in my skirts (they’re fairly long), I often get compliments from the older neighbors. My neighbor Ken, who is in his 70s, bless his heart, always tells me “how pretty” I look.
I’ve also noticed I get treated more politely when I’m shopping or out and about, when I am dressed in my skirts. Not just by older folks, but the young teenagers as well. I was wondering if any other ladies have had similar experiences.
I told my DH that I am probably going to be investing in some jumpers to wear, and more skirts, and he said, “Fine. But don’t throw out your jeans, because you never know, in a year or two you might be sick of skirts.”
Have any ladies here just worn skirts, no pants or shorts, for a long time? And do you find it’s hard to do all your daily chores? I’m a SAHM and homeschooler, and often am out gardening or doing other outside work.
Oh, they have some really cute things on that site! Thanks for sharing.
I have discovered school blouses, available in bust sizes up to at least 38 inches! These are high necked and long sleeved, and at £10 for 3 shirts, one can adapt them, dye them, paint them, whatever!I LOVE the Cherokee brand shirts - really nice quality at a good price.
I have no problem with longer denim skirts, but jumpers
I vowed never to wear them after graduating from Catholic school and I have kept my word
