Dear So and So

[indysteel]

Dear fashion retailers: Why, oh why, are your skirts so short? You used to cater to professional women. I can understand the trend toward more casual business attire, but mini skirts? Is everybody but me able to wear such things to work and does everybody but me look get in them? I don't think so. So why are they so prevalent? And those that aren't mid-thigh length are pencil skirts. While they're not quite as unflattering or work inappropriate, I find them totally uncomfortable for summer. Please, return skirts to a more modest length and offer them in an a-line cut. Thank you.

The Calvin Klein line has knee-length a-line skirt this year. Macy's has it for about $55. (link)

Thanks for the suggestion.

Dear Neck,

Please stop complaining because I dared to ride my bike two days in a row. You aren't even complaining very much, which is nice, but please stop all of it. I do thank you for allowing me to finish both rides without pain!

Ok, so it was a little windy yesterday...had to be for me to have a max HR of 173 - on the road I knew I was fighting a pretty stiff breeze across the fields but sheesh! Ok, I guess you had a right to complain, but please stop now!

Regards

Your body

Ugh, I hate knee length skirts and dresses. They make me look dowdy. I'd have to wear 4 inch heels. I want skirts to hit above the knee for work or a little higher for casual wear.
I bought a new dress Friday for the first time since last summer. A petite xx small should not be too long.

I don't look dowdy with skirts that hit at my knee if they're a-line. If they're cut a little straighter, the look better right above my knee. What I can't wear are true minis. Unflattering at best (on me) and unprofessional in my legal setting. You and I are different heights and have different frames judging from your weight.

I don't know if it is a carryover from the many years when I was so large, but I seem to like skirts that hit mid-calf. I feel neekid in skirts that hit above the knee This is funny considering I've no problem hitting the streets on my bike in spandex shorts and no-sleeve jerseys :-)

I like that A-line skirt however...it might be time to expand my wardrobe...
