I recently bought a running skirt. Made by Adidas it is a pair of leggings with a skirt attached. It has the three Adidas stripes, in pink (my favourite colour), down each side. I have worn it a few times while running. The 'problem' is that every time I found myself approaching people I would quickly tuck each side of the skirt into the waistband of the leggings which then pulled the skirt up under my t-shirt and out of view.
This weekend I was in a village I do not normally go to and had the opportunity for a run. I decided to make it difficult for me to do my quick hide the skirt thing and so I wore a pair of neon orange/peach hotpants over the leggings but under the skirt. My theory being that hiding the skirt would reveal the neon hotpants which are a lot more noticeable than the skirt!
I also wore a shorter than normal t-shirt.
The reason I am doing all this is because once a year I run a race where I wear some wet look leggings, it's become my annual public 'outing' for my wet look legging fetish. This year I want to wear this skirt over them and so I plan to 'desensitise' myself to the acute awareness that I am wearing a skirt in public.
And my idea worked. At one stage I was approaching a group of five people, I automatically started tucking the skirt in when I felt and remembered the hot pants. I was forced to run past them with the skirt out.
No one said anything, I caught one woman smiling at me but apart from that it was an exciting run for me.
