That's often a combo I pick in the spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaargh-i-want-to-wear-skirts-but#post-1193722 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 18:05:48 +0000 Jenava 1193722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, leggings are another excellent option that I need to consider.</p> <p>I do this then where it sprint at 8 mph for 30 secs then jump my legs off to rest for 30 secs.&nbsp; My hubby texted me that he was waiting for me while I was resting, and I stopped the belt...but when I went to step off it was still going pretty fast I and wasn't paying attention...Yikes!&nbsp; It was quite scary and a good lesson for me that I need to pay more attention and not get lax! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaargh-i-want-to-wear-skirts-but#post-1193718 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 18:03:51 +0000 Nebraskim 1193718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh. I fear falling on the treadmill. I have fallen outside before and that's scary but the whole moving belt, etc. really freaks me out and I run on the TM a lot, esp. in the winter. Glad you were relatively unscathed. I felt spring-like enough to wear leggings instead of tights today. That's one way to feel a little less covered up, but still covered up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaargh-i-want-to-wear-skirts-but#post-1193716 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 18:01:02 +0000 Jenava 1193716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the ideas and commiseration, ladies.&nbsp; Today I am wearing a skirt that comes to just below my knee, and I put a large skin-colored bandage over the one larger scrape.&nbsp; Bruises still showing but they are light enough that I don't feel too self-conscious!&nbsp; Actually, I have a dark one on my elbow that I'm ignoring as well, which is probably more noticeable that my legs!</p> <p></p> <p>ETA, tights are no problem, it's just that I was looking forward to wearing my skirts that don't work with tights.&nbsp; E.g. my skirt today is stretchy and fitted and would ride up if I wore tights under it.&nbsp; Another skirt I can't wait to wear is midi length and celery green colored; I want to wear it with a light grey top, so black hose would just look very odd.&nbsp; I'm not really into wearing hose that isn't black... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaargh-i-want-to-wear-skirts-but#post-1193293 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 13:13:37 +0000 Sveta 1193293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sorry to her that Jenava. I hope&nbsp;they will fade soon.<br />Is it too warm to wear sheer hose? The patterned black hose should camouflage the bruises quite well I think.<br />On the other hand: where is our warm spring? We got 20 cm snow yesterday and it wsa -20 C this morning...:-( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaargh-i-want-to-wear-skirts-but#post-1193286 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 13:06:45 +0000 El Cee 1193286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! So sorry Jenava. (I had a fall last winter that bruised my right leg, so I totally empathize.) Would wearing a midi length skirt or dark (but not opaque)&nbsp;hosiery make a difference? Sometimes leg makeup/coverup can work wonders depending on the darkness of the bruising. Have you tried that? I wish you quick healing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaargh-i-want-to-wear-skirts-but#post-1193280 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 12:59:17 +0000 Janet 1193280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ouch, heal quickly!</p> <p>It is no fun to feel like your dressing options are limited, however temporary! I missed prime spring dressing time last year when I was recuperating from surgery. I couldn't wear anything snug on the waist for weeks (my belly was swollen for months), and I wasn't going much of anywhere. I was so relieved the first day I could tolerate zipping up and buttoning a pair of jeans -- and you all know how denim-dependent my wardrobe is! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaargh-i-want-to-wear-skirts-but#post-1193278 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 12:55:45 +0000 gryffin 1193278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hear about your fall.&nbsp; Hope all heals soon.&nbsp; I second Anne.&nbsp; Would tights be a good interim?&nbsp; You'll have coverage but at least you'll be back in skirts.&nbsp; Just a thought! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaargh-i-want-to-wear-skirts-but#post-1193238 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 12:01:19 +0000 Suz 1193238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Yours in bruise solidarity (mine's on my thigh, and enormous). &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaargh-i-want-to-wear-skirts-but#post-1193128 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 06:34:16 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1193128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I waited to be unbruised to wear skirts, I'd never wear them! Why wait? For something really dramatic or needing bandages, maybe keep your legs covered for healing, but for a small bruise, who cares? </p> <p>Hope you are feeling better soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaargh-i-want-to-wear-skirts-but#post-1193120 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 05:53:26 +0000 anne 1193120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Poor knee! Could you go opaque? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaargh-i-want-to-wear-skirts-but#post-1193109 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 05:10:27 +0000 Gigi 1193109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rats! This reminds me of how I got sick for the two days a couple of weeks ago when it was so, so nice outside and feeling like spring. By the time I was recovered, there was another 8 inches of snow on the ground. Doh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaargh-i-want-to-wear-skirts-but#post-1193102 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 05:02:57 +0000 AJ 1193102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh so sorry to hear about your fall. How about a long midi or maxi skirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aaargh-i-want-to-wear-skirts-but#post-1193100 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 04:59:07 +0000 Jenava 1193100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Our weather is (probably temporarily) sunny and not too cold, perfect for skirts without tights, only...I fell on the treadmill last week and my shins are bruised and my knee has a big scrape on it. &nbsp;Not in any shape to wear skirts! &nbsp;Just venting, I guess. &nbsp;)-: </p> <p>ETA, it takes me FOREVER to heal, esp. from bruises...</p>
