Day 8: Knees together

Day 8

Today I celebrated Easter in a San Francisco way: I picnicked in the park with friends and attended an event hosted by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, "a charity, protest, and street performance organization that uses drag and religious imagery to call attention to sexual intolerance and satirize issues of gender and morality." Their Easter event includes a Foxy Mary and  Hunky Jesus contest. I loved walking around the park and seeing everyone's outfits and picnic setups. Some people were very elaborate and brought full tables and silverware. I also saw one person hoisting a loveseat through the crowd. Another couple wore Mad Hatter hats (and not much else) and drank from teacups the whole day. There were elaborate Easter bonnets including one that involved a live parrot. Being a sunny day, there were plenty of sundresses which inspired this poster. For a long time, I rarely wore dresses as I never mastered the art of sitting like a lady. One day my friend mentioned seeing a woman on the train and wanting to post a facebook status stating "Remember, knees together, ladies." She resisted the urge but I remembered her advice. Simple but I always repeat it when I wear a dress: keep my knees together to prevent flashing people. Of course, in San Francisco, you are welcome to keep your knees apart or in any position you wish. Another option is to do what I usually do: wear shorts underneath and sit however you like.

Is there an article of clothing you struggle with wearing appropriately?
