The only problems I have found with wearing the skirt is that it rides up a lot if you're power walking (like I do) for the bus...which left to having undesirable comments like 'hello sexy legs' and being perved on by chavs which I could do without when running for the bus with two heavy folders in the rain!
This leads me onto my rant for the day, doesn't it annoy you when what you are wearing immediately effects how you are treated? For example, if I wear combat boots, jeans and a leather jacket I get avoided nervously by the elderly, if I wear a bandage skirt I get leered at by the bus driver. Being cat called or wolf whistled at is one thing, but it quickly becomes harassment. I have a friend who was wearing a bandage skirt , sitting next to a guy on the bus with a laptop who was having an msn webcam conversation with his friend; and he asked her to look into the webcam for him so his friend could see what she looked like. She naturally refused, especially as she could see he was describing what he would like to do to her, and his friend was encouraging him to follow her when she got off the bus and get her alone. Its terrifying that wearing practically anything above the knee (not just bandage skirts) seems to make the pervs out there think you are warranting their advances. I know bandage skirts cling to your shape, and that some say if you choose to dress 'provactively' then it is your fault when you attract unwanted attention or get yourself into dangerous situations. But to be honest, as my friend put it, shouldn't we as women be able to wear what the f*ck we want without being at risk of rape?
I seem to have completely contradicted myself by making it sound dangerous to wear a bandage skirt, but this is something that has been getting on my nerves!
Anyhoo hope everyone had a great week, I'm looking foward to a 3 day weekend!
