I think that lots of GG's wear skirts and dresses, but that the venues most of us frequent are too casual for that mode. The mall is not a high fashion locale, unless you're shopping in Nordstrom and paying a few hundred $$ for your dresses. The girls that shop at Forever 21 aren't wearing those dresses to the mall and besides jeans and slacks and capris are comfortable and can be stylish depending on how you accessorize.
