(OC) Me wearing a skirt cause fuck gender roles
-
One of my moms favorite stories about my childhood (I was like 6), is that I wanted to wear a skirt, like my sisters, to a wedding.
She had to explain to me that boys don't wear skirts.
Only for a scottish man to be at the wedding, wearing a kilt. I apparently got very cross with mom for lying to me.
-
The point (to the extent there was one) was to move past any gender-role discussion and accept the picture at face value. Even when it's cold, I've found that it has to be really cold to not find too many layers on my legs to be oppressive after any amount of activity.

I love this story, and thanks for giving me another reason to appreciate Scottish nonconformity.

Whole ensemble looks great! Gender clothing rules are stupid, rock that shit!

Skirt and socks should be black so the bag can be your accent piece.
I love how the only criticism here is fashion-oriented color theory. This is a special place and you all are great. Thanks for this comment.

This look kills! The purse is everything

Even besides that - it’s fashion lol

I'm actually inclined to disagree, I feel like the outfit would be unbalanced and the white trim and doggo purse competing. The white socks at least offer a bit of balance to the look imo

I love your androgynous look!
I’m not seeing much of a fashion community on here but there’s a streetwear one that might really enjoy this

Had to look hard to even notice the skirt past the mismatched socks.

But wouldn’t you say the dog bag is a statement? Otherwise, why not go with a more conventionally shaped bag? The skirt color (at least in the picture) really takes away from the bag imo.
I am also a fan of symmetry and the three white stripes bug me in a way the white trim does not.

Without putting much though into it my mind immediately labeled this a kilt. A big belt buckle could add nicely, but then again it's complete as is.

I agree! Making the skirt and socks black would make things too busy on the top/top-heavy.
Maybe just change the skirt color to navy or black so it provides contrast with the purse (which is definitely the statement piece)

Bah, some folks just lurk for a bit first. Get a feel for the vibe of a place and proceed accordingly.
And some just jump right in. Neither is wrong or right, just different.

Yeah, me too. We'll get there. It will just take some time.
