The challenge for this came from a site I don't actually frequent, from a blog I do read-- if you follow the links, you'll notice I'm pretty far, politically, from them. So... why am I (sort of, ok, my skirts are probably not quite as long as they'd like) taking part in their challenge? Well, it seems like a fun idea. It isn't intending to prove any point. And I like fun ideas, regardless of who comes up with them-- we should judge all ideas on their merits, instead of based on whether or not we agree with the speaker.
Also, I think it's really interesting to read about people who aren't like me-- who have different values, different beliefs, and different lives. It's one of the things that makes blogs and the interent kind of awesome, really-- especially when people who disagree can actually talk civilly about things.
Plus? I just love streotypicaly "girly" and "feminine" stuff. I'm a feminist, but I understand that that has nothing to do with whether I enjoy wearing skirts and cooking. I remember in college, one of my sorority sisters asked me one day if I ever wore anything but skirts. But here in Boston... well, it's just so much easier to wear jeans every day! But I'm not going to. One week. We'll see if it sticks.
Also? The shoes aren't pictured because I've been barefoot most of the day. Being sick will do that!
The beer is Abita Turbodog. I figure, if I'm showing off my wardrobe, I might as well show off what I drink, too.

glad to see that you are participating in the challenge, and reading even though you don't agree. Glad to have you!
I like that dress! Thanks for joining in the challenge. :)
It's fun to see you taking part in this challenge. I was raised Baptist and have spent much of my life in skirts, dresses, and the ghastly attire known as culottes as a result. Even now, I can barely bring myself to wear pants, especially jeans. I also have never had any alcohol. LOL. Old habits die hard. ;)
