Today I’m answering a question that was asked in August.
Here’s what was asked:
Do you all wear skirts full time?
In a short answer; no, we don’t wear skirts full time. We wear skirts about 85.6% of the time.
Let me expound on this subject of skirt/pant wearing.
Now I'll share some example of activities that are easier to perform while wearing pants.
Exercising: Skirts work well for a leisurely walk but when I go running my skirt gets caught between my legs and it looks weird, so I prefer pants or sports shorts. As far as other forms of exercise- I have trouble weight lifting or doing aerobics in a skirt. Skirts don’t provide the ease of movement I like and the extra material can get caught in the exercise equipment. Safety and range of motion are important to me; this is also why I wear pants to ride my bike.
Sledding: Maybe you can sled in a long skirt but I think it’s dangerous. Try it and you will know what I’m talking about. For sledding I like to wear pants and a short skirt. Snow pants are ideal but I don’t own any (That’s half true- There just aren’t enough snow pants to go around and I’d rather wear jeans than take turns wearing snow pants).
Rock Climbing: I don’t like the idea of people below me looking up my skirt, even if I am wearing pants underneath. Plus there’s the challenge of putting the harness on. I don’t rock climb because I get disoriented at high altitudes but Emily loves to climb and she wears cargo pants.
Sayonara and Shalom,
