Mini skirts are universal

It was my first night out on the town in Australia, and boy was I surprised. With a temperature high of about 14C (57F) during the day and around 6C(42F) at night, the Australian winter is mild compared to that of many cities stateside, but still chilly nonetheless for a California born and bread girl like myself. Maybe it was all the alcohol pulsing through the veins of the young women filling the sidewalks waiting in life for the pubs and clubs, but the miniskirt/dress seemed to be the item of choice for the evening as girls were unfazed by the brisk air. It has always amazed me, what lengths women will go to in order to appear sexy and desirable. While I comfortably enjoyed the evening in leather pants, I wondered what was going through a lot of their minds while they got dressed.

I've realized that no matter where you go, what season it is or the crowd their will always be the miniskirt-wearing women around. I would hate to make assumptions or generalizations about these women's motives, so I will leave that alone. I'd rather just say that while mini skirts are universal, they are a not for everyone or for every occasion.

Always be aware of your surroundings. Even if you are extremely warm blooded and are not affected by the cold in the least, be mindful that other people are. When your the amount of fabric that you have on is so drastically different than what everyone else is where, you stand out... but not in a good way. The same goes for be bundled up in warm weather. The goal with fashion and style is to make your own statement, but when you go too far in one direction, for whatever reason, people tend to not take you seriously. You never want your style sense to negatively dictate your circumstances and influence people's ideas about you.
