So I had to travel for work yesterday to the office with around 10 people I directly work with and quite a busy building. I have already told my boss about my wearing of skirts in case there was any issues with me going to my local office (where I work with no one directly, but a nice change of scenery from working from home). I talked with my wife about me going dressed and she told me to go ahead and pack a skirt. I stopped on the in-laws on the way so I wore shorts going out since I didn't want any issues about a skirt (even though they know). After that I changed into my skirt at the first rest stop. Later on I stopped at a rest stop for a bathroom and still had anxiety about it but it is getting less and less. I have only ever gone out skirted once before. Traffic wasn't bad and I was about 30 minutes early so I decided to go for a walk on a pedestrian bridge walkway over a river since I never get a chance to do it the other times I travel here. This place was packed, in my 20 minute walk I easily saw over a hundred people and no issues. It was a little hot so I had to blast the air conditioning to cool down again.
At the office, I go a meeting with coworkers and no issues. Between the meeting as we gather to head out for lunch, it becomes a topic of discussion but it was very tolerant discussion. Went out for lunch. Afterwards I have a meeting with boss (which turned into a walking meeting where we walked through several buildings to go see a few new displays about the company's history and a round of Foosball. Had a meeting with my boss's boss after that. Worked in a coworker's office for two hours, said goodbyes and headed out. Just felt like a normal day here but in a skirt :)
On the way home I stopped at a goodwill looking for skirts on the way home. The goodwills near me sorts by size and skirts are always $5 (or half off if the tag is a certain color that week). This goodwill was dirty, sorted by color, and prices for skirt seemed to range from $8 to $20, and about a quarter had illegible tags. One skirt had the original store tags on it that it was on clearance for $3 and they were asking $8 for it. I didn't even make it all the way through the skirts before deciding to leave. At least it makes me appreciate the several decent goodwill stores around me.
Stopped for a late dinner about halfway home. Funny thing: when I was coming out of the bathroom there was a guy heading in and he looked up to make sure he was going to the right bathroom (didn't seem like he was being mean).
All in all, around 16 hours being out in a skirt, granted much of it was driving (which I have only done a few times already).
