It&#8217;s a favorite because it&#8217;s easy and\u00a0wrinkle-free, dressy with a forgiving fit, and because I got it dirt cheap after eyeballing it for full price at the beginning of the season. It&#8217;s also a favorite because of the consistent reaction I get when I wear it. <em>Every single time<\/em> my Dad (or another gentleman in the same demographic) politely tells me my slip is showing. It&#8217;s <em>not<\/em>. That&#8217;s the skirt you&#8217;re seeing in the thumbnail. That&#8217;s the style. But it&#8217;s gotten to the point now that I&#8217;m disappointed if my Dad doesn&#8217;t say something.<\/p>\n<p>And I don&#8217;t mind really. He&#8217;s my Dad. He loves me, and he&#8217;s looking out for me. If my slip <em>were<\/em> showing, I&#8217;d want someone to tell me. It would be cruel not to say something, you know? Or even more cruel &#8212; to talk with his cohorts about my droopy petticoat.<\/p>\n<p>And blogs are the same &#8212; like people. Quirky, personal, infuriating, inspiring, funny, goofy. . . . sometimes cheap (or open source), dressy, and wrinkle-free too! Like clothes they are public, but they are rarely as attention-getting to the big-wide world as they may seem. And if you see the blogger&#8217;s slip showing, it would be cruel not to say something, you know? But then again, maybe that&#8217;s the style?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have this favorite skirt.
