So I am out to most the important people in my life. Well except my brother. Well over the weekend my brother and his wife and two girls were visiting my mom. And my sister who I have told and showed pictures and her two girls were potentially going to visit for the weekend. And my mom has seen me a few times at my house in a skirt and such but never at her house. So we were going to my mom's for a day trip to see everyone and I was thinking about wearing a skirt and if I should ask my mom her opinion. But I decided not to since me and my boys tend to ride the four wheelers half the time while there and didn't think a skirt would work very well on a four wheeler. Well my wife asked me why I wasn't wearing a skirt. I told her about the four wheelers and she was like that isn't a very good excuse. So with her nudge I decided to wear a skirt (denim so it wouldn't flail about, past my knees for modesty, and flared so I had room to straddle the four wheeler). My wife was so excited to see my brother's wife reaction (she is kind of uppity). I packed a pair of shorts since the plan was to go out for dinner so I would change for going out.
Well we got there and not an issue. My mom was a little shocked, my nieces gave an inquisitive look then acted normal, my brother asked if it was my wife's skirt and I said it was one of my skirts, and the brother's wife was upstairs for a while so my wife had to wait for her reaction. Well about an hour later she came down and had no reaction. My wife was sitting there waiting for it and I gave her a smile that nothing.
During lunch my wife split food on herself so she wanted to head to the local Walmart to buy a cheap shirt (the rest of us packed a change of clothes but she didn't). She wanted me to drive her and I thought she would want me to wait in the car because of the skirt. But no she wanted to go in with our youngest son. Her second regular type outing with me in a skirt and first with a kid in tow. She mentioned how there were a lot of stares afterwards. Actually have to agree there were more stares than a typical outing.
Later in the afternoon I mention to my brother's wife that I brought shorts to change into for dinner. She said why, that there was no reason for me to change.I also told my mom and she said she didn't care if no one else cared.
So when it came time to head out for dinner, my wife asked if I was going to change and I said how my brother's wife said it was ok (and she was coming into the room as I said this). So the three of us talked about it, and how my wife doesn't have me dress around town to prevent our kids from being bullied. The brother's wife said she doesn't understand that, that I should dress how I want and show the kids a good example of being myself. I wonder if this will change my wife's outlook on my dressing at all. So I went out to dinner in the skirt. Actually very few stares despite being fairly crowded.
I am really impressed with how the day turned out
