Seriously, skirts don't cling to your legs and bottom the way shorts can. Speaking as one whose summers are very hot and humid, it's skirts and dresses everyday I can. As for long pants, not likely, making an exception for my loose white linen with wide legs. Those don't hold the heat. Nothing clinging to my skin - not in July or August. <br /><br />I agree it is amazing how much more pu together you can look in a shirt and top.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-53209202940404441052012-08-01T07:50:04.766-07:002012-08-01T07:50:04.766-07:00Definitely!

What I really like about knit skirts is that you can wear them in summmer and if it get's really cold in winter you can wear them under a dress that wound't be warm enough otherwise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-84012647793000919042012-07-30T21:47:21.573-07:002012-07-30T21:47:21.573-07:00Good call.
