With enough alcohol I could be convinced to wear a kilt for about 5 minutes. Short of that I will literally fight you over wearing a skirt. Attribute whatever you like to that, but I will not wear a skirt. Now, I have Donald Ducked it in front of her and the only thing I got was a hungry stare and a "Mmmm".
Maybe you haven't tried a long skirt/dress yet. Swooshy, full control of your exposure level, fresh air wafting underneath, long tall silhouette, give it a try!
