The Skirt

Is winter really over — pants tucked in boots, thick socks, turtleneck, sweater? Can I finally think about ditching the winter uniform?

I seem to remember another article of clothing, something I wore long ago, when days were warmer.

I even have a few of them my closet, relics of another time. Is it my imagination or do they look forlorn, wrinkled with disuse, wondering why it's been so long?

I check the weather. Highs in the 60s, though it's cool now. Still, it's do-able — if I still own a pair of tights anymore, that is.

Only one way to find out.  I'm heading upstairs now to put on a skirt.

(Not this one; it's a dress, anyway!)
