Next weekend in England probably...is still cool, Deb. I would be wearing pantyhose. Standing around for photos outdoors.... Yes I'll be wearing pantyhose: my skirt is already 2 inches above my knees. I'm 54. My skirt is short, so no need to go bare legged.
Funny, a few days ago this week, I biked to work but I forgot my pantyhose and bought along an above knee lycra A-line knit skirt and top to wear to work...with slingback low heels. Now I do wear pantyhose in the summer...it just looks awful because my feet are so white while my legs are wonderfully tanned...from cycling a lot in the spring-summer. I don't lie around in the sun anymore just to evenly tan. Haven't done that type of tanning in last 15 yrs. (I get enough tan-colour cycling every season.)
But when I forgot my pantyhose this week and walked around the office, I realized my legs weren't too bad..my scars aren't as prominent. My tan from...last year had faded but not totally ..so that sort of melded with my white feet.I did sense other women noticed my bare legs: it's a bit early and chilly right now to be bare legged in our area. (Remember our winters are -25 to -35 degrees C.)
But ..it was my cracked skin on my heels that I didn't like. In our region, people would not be totally surprised to see this.
But hey, this is a forum for cycling and jogging women.![]()
