On the other hand, I loathe jeans for anything other than dog walking, and find pants hard to fit. I'm about 60/40 dresses (and skirts) to pants. Interesting topic!

Skirts are also a challenge so i resort to purchasing those when i travel. Dresses work for me best. I have come to the conclusion that i will have to stop being lazy and make my own clothes.

The brand is Sitwell. Julia, I got them at Anthropologie, of all places (so many of their clothes seem made for tiny sprites–I was surprised). The brand is Sitwell.

Skirts all the way - different lengths, sizes, and colors! I have around 40 pairs in my closet - and I do wear a majority of them. I love the variety and femininity and swish around my legs. Pants have been very hard to fit until last year when I discovered curvy, bootcut jeans. Where have they been hiding these! I only own a couple dresses, mostly because I dislike having to find a cami and a jacket/cardigan to wear with what should a one-piece outfit. But again, this year I have found a couple flattering and comfortable don't-need-17-more-pieces dresses! good times! Linda - where did you find your long shorts? 85/15 in favor of skirts.

With bare legs and sandals in summer, tights and boots in winter. (Lack of footwear in between these extremes is one of the many reasons for my aversion to pants.) In addition to my untold numbers of skirts and one or two dresses, I do have one pair of semi-decent jeans, one pair of fashionless ones, one pair of lightweight wool trousers, and a pair of just-below-knee-length shorts-like things that I've been wearing some on weekends. But shopping for jeans and trousers is torture (heavy thighs and calves + curved waist that makes most of them gap) and I do not feel cute in them. Shopping for skirts is fun and I can't have enough of them! Skirts, skirts, skirts. With bare legs and sandals in summer, tights and boots in winter.

I am so glad that you appreciate her as well. WHat did you think of what the changes that Karl Lagerfeld made in the early to mid nineties? There is nothing like the House of Chanel- it makes me sick that they even call that mess of Beyonce's mother "The House of Dereon"- ridiculous Hi - I used to wear dresses and skirts more than slacks, but they have allowed us to wear jeans now to work ( they changed the dress code as an incentive to retain employees- Hah! more $ might work too)- Now I wear PPL dark jeans- I am trying to build my whole wardrobe over since coming to the forum- I’ve given LOTS away

However, skirts are more easily shopped for, I'm usually more picky when it depends on shorts or pants. Dresses are also really hard to shop for, I don't know why, I'm very picky with them. But, apparently according to my astrology sign, I should prefer dresses over shorts--and I do prefer shorter dresses to shorts in Summer. http://galadarling.com/article/style-by-the-stars-whats-your-astrological-aesthetic I prefer pants to skirts in colder seasons, but in warmer weather I usually balance between shorts and skirts–the balance is usually quite skewed, it depends more on my mood.

I'm not a skirt person either - it's all about the dress (one-piece dressing is so easy and means I only have to wash half as many things!)
