Skants
I've been in my skants for two days now, slowly getting used to my new work uniform. I tried them out at home first, then took them for a spin in the car on the beltway in rushour traffic. They held up well, so I sallied about the satellite studio in Virginia. I didn't dance, just skanted about. I thought I should try them out at a Kmart, so off we went. I got a charley horse in the dressing room. I'm not sure that it was skant-related, but charley horses now top my list of things I don't like. There was a carnival in the Annandale Kmart parking lot, but it was beginning to mist so I went back home. Day one was a success.
Today I climbed back into my skants after showering, wore them around the house/office all day, then ventured out to the downtown studio, by way of metro. The performed well, as expected. At the downtown studio, I tied a hipscarf around my waist and danced in my skants. I removed the hipscarf when I left the studio, took the metro back to my car and ventured out to Trader Joe's, where I bought a take-and-bake baguette, Brie, dark chocolate-covered pretzels, frozen broccoli and a chocolate-hazelnut Ritter bar. I took an adventure-drive on the way home, getting lost just so I could see if I could find my way (I did). Once home, I baked the baguette and cooked a turkey kielbasa, which I put on the baguette with the Brie. I cut up a mango as well. That's my day so far. Another skant-success!
What's a skant? Well, remember skorts? There were popular in the 80s, and looked something like this (though this one is much more stylish than the ones I wore back then):
Skants are like that, but longer:
That's my new work uniform. What do you wear to work?
