Pros and Cons of plus size Summer skirts
I am not by tradition a skirt person. Jeans yes, skirts no. But due to the heat this summer I have ditched my jeans in favour of plus size summer skirts for work and daywear. The cons became immediately apparent! Creasing….Some styles crease so easily. After sitting the car for half an hour the skirt has totally lost its crisp and ironed look. Some summer skirts are also too see-through and as a result not suitable for wearing to work or around town. Another problem I have encountered is that in the heat I feel stickier around the legs in a skirt than in jeans! However, none of these cons will stop me from wearing skirts in the summer now I have discovered some styles I like. They make you feel far more feminine with so many pretty styles to choose from.
