(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/random_michelle\/8074013147\/\">like this<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>I recently ordered <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/102485013\/epic-space-station-full-skirt?\">this skirt<\/a> for myself which I will also wear with tights and boots. (Why tights? Because I am very uncomfortable with having my legs&#8211;and even arms&#8211;exposed. I don&#8217;t have a problem with other people exposing their skin, this is just my own, personal comfort level.)<\/p>\n<p>But I&#8217;m having a hard time finding other skirts and dusters that are cute and amusing and personality laden that I could comfortably wear to work. The reason I have so many black pants and skirts is because I can wear them every week.<\/p>\n<p>But I&#8217;d like a few more outfits that are fun and entertaining, at least to me if no one else. I&#8217;ve found the search for &#8220;geeky dress&#8221; or &#8220;geek skirt&#8221; to be singularly unhelpful, bringing up either con dresses or very skimpy outfits that are more&#8211;to my mind&#8211;akin to underoos than something to be worn in public. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I LOVE <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thinkgeek.com\/product\/f189\/\">this<\/a>, but my tastes run more to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/97450139\/2013-spring-news-wool-coat-wool-dress?\">this<\/a> (which is a coat).<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I know very well I need to start sewing again. I have tons of ideas for things I could make for myself, but until that time, I would like some recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone have anything for me?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, there is a distinct probability we&#8217;re heading back to a dress code at work.
