For years i refused to wear skirts or dresses as thyey were "girly", which is ironic as i would wear them all the time and refused to wear all trousers but jeans.
Now i adore them, especially the long full ones, there is nothing more fun than twirling around in a floaty skirt, or wearing a long skirt on a windy day. The only problems i have with them, and the reasons that i don't wear them that often, is that you have to make sure you are sitting appropriately and not flashing everyone, which can be difficult at times, especially with short skirts, that and you have to make sure you have done your legs.
