Not feeling like myself

[Heather]

Today I ended up wearing a skirt from the back of my closest. It's about 2-3 inches above my knees and it feels weird, not to mention drafty! lol. Hubby is enjoying the extra leg but really I prefer below the knee-mid-calf. I feel un-ladylike otherwise! I can't wait to get back into one of my regular dresses tomorrow.

I've been there, sister. And I really don't have the legs for anything above the knee! I felt so uncomfortable.
Once you get used to looking like a lady (and being treated like one) it's hard to go back!

I agree.
I had to go to church with no nylons on this past week as I fell a week ago and got a lovely gash in the top of my foot...ended up with 8 stitiches and some nerve damage in my foot. This also meant I can't wear some of my fave shoes either
I felt soooo naked with no nylons on

Ow, Honey Bee! Ow!!! I hope it gets better soon!

I was wearing a (obviously!) below-the-knee A-line the other day in dance class, and the instructor with whom I was dancing had a complaint that she couldn't pass her legs through mine because it was hampering her movement, so she requested that I roll it up from the waist for the time being. "But my knees will show!", I exclaimed with horror .

Needless to say, chuckles all around...

Ow HoneyBee! Eeep I don't think I could go out w/o my stockings! Naked indeed! But I guess a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do! :-/

LOL that's classic bunnyb.gal!

This is a new one on me. What kind of dance class was this? I can see the need to wear pants or a tennis-type skirt in an aerials class, or being hampered by a hoop skirt while attempting the Argentine tango (as if that ever happens), but for anything else [huh]

Your instructor (or partner) should be the one to adapt. A guy couldn't say that without the risk of getting smacked.

Maybe she wanted to get fresh. lol

Does make sense to me though it would make it easier.

very awkward feeling!

I took the stitches out Sunday afterwards...its going to be sore and I don't think the scar will be as bad as I thought, but wearing a shoe strap across the top of my foot isn't going to happen for awhile as it is very sensitive..amazing what a cement stepping stone can do to ones whole life lol

Oh, bunny.gal, waay funny!!

Ditto what you gals say. I hate showing my knees! If the weather's really warm I'll wear shorts, but still feel funny leaving the house lol

Fair dos, she actually had a valid point - we were doing slow foxtrot and she couldn't actually swing her legs through properly to get her driving step. The skirt is lined and the lining tends to bunch up a bit sometimes. So Paisley, your Tango observation wasn't far off! From now on, I'll save those skirts for Latin, and wear the high-waisted trousers for Ballroom!

I have a dress which comes above the knee. I get the old knobblies out from time to time. Though could never go out without stockings.
