I Bought a Skirt

Jun29, 2010

Anyone who knows me, or has been reading my blog a while, will know why the very act of buying a skirt has need of an entry of its own. To put it into perspective: the last time I wore a skirt for any significant period of time was the early 90s. So anyway, this is the skirt:

I want to wear it tomorrow so I had to shave my legs especially!

I know you wanted to know that.

omy, that's really nice looking skirt. :) I'm planning to shave my legs tomorrow. :P You totally needed to know that. :P

It's an absolutely gorgeous skirt.
Incidentally, I was hoping to know the exact time of when you shave. I want to synchronize with you next time. You know, me being your devoted fan and all that ;)

Wow, that's really pretty.
If you don't mind me asking where's it from/how much?

Haha, I was the exact same a few weeks ago. Though it'd have been the late 90s since I last wore one rather than the early 90s, since I was born in '95. xD I like your skirt, it's quite colourful. :)

I think that the last time I wore a skirt was around 1999. Horrible things, trousers are just so much more practical.
That's really nice, though. I love the pattern.

this motherhood stuff seems to have turned you into an actual girl! careful, you'll be wearing tonnes of make-up and obsessing over hair straighteners next :P

Pretty! Now, is this occasion for the elusive Jem to post a picture of her wearing that skirt? ;)

That's an awesome skirt :). It might seem like a big.step now to start wearing a skirt again as it's been so long but you might end up just buying more skirts!

I like that skirt. To short for me, but then for me to wear skirt, they have to be ankle length.

It's gorgeous, I love it :-)

Mind. Blown.

That's really pretty. I can't imagine not having worn a skirt since the early 90s. That was decades ago. Wow. What brings about the change? Anyway, I hope you enjoy wearing it.

...dude, what the fuck is going on here? This ain't the Jem I know!

@ Kim, click the image ^^
Jemmy it's so pretty! I like it. :)

That's a beautiful skirt!

I heart skirts in the summer. Love the draftiness!

Hmmm a variation on the paisley print. Hope you are going to iron it before you wear it as that one looks awfully creased to me (or is it supposed to be creased perhaps?)
It will be lovely and cool, and will suit you perfectly :) I like it.

So do I. easy access! Ha.

@ Mimi - Thanks, my phone didn't register the image as a link =/

That is such a lovely design and I am sure it will look really nice on! I have never been much of a girly girl and do not feel comfortable in skirts. Maybe being a Mummy does bring out the inner girl? ;p

Lovely skirt! Very summery. I want it for myself :)
Erin 30/06/10 at 20:59 #

Karl's comment is classic! Haha. You picked a very pretty skirt, Jem. The peach matches your new flowery layout. =D

That skirt is adorable! I love it! I actually only own one skirt so I completely understand the amazingness of the situation!
Veronica 01/07/10 at 08:57 #

Very cute skirt! Last time I wore a skirt was Halloween 2 years ago! Love the new layout too! Very summery and pretty!

Whooo sexy time! :D

The idea of you wearing a skirt is not shocking (actually, it sounds adorable) but OMG JEM you're turning into a girl :P I feel somewhat responsible, as I girlified jemjabella...

Pretty Skirt, but the tomboy in me wouldn't be able to wear it. The only skirt I own is a denim skirt and I wear it with thick black stockings and leather boots, and that is all I can stand. I own 1 dress also.
Have fun wearing it ;-)
Jenny 03/07/10 at 20:36 #

I haven't bought a skirt in years either. I keep wearing the same ones I have. Love this one, where did you get it?
