What do you mean 'may get away with breaking the rule'? Damm, I'm a man in a dress. How many rules does that break?
I've never been ridiculed (but I'm not a mind reader either). I've had really positive comments.
Thanks to all you lovely legged young at heart mini skirt wearers for coming to my support. Enjoy how you dress and have the confidence to go forth as you want to present.
