🎉99% Moon/Birthday celebration outfit🎉 I’ll admit I was a little skurred of the skort. I don’t know if I’ve worn one since 1993 😅 But because of TEN TOMORROW by Summer Shiigi I am no longer! In fact I feel like it’s time to re-harness the sneakily rebellious power of the skort. For goodness sakes, there was a time it wasn’t decent for women to wear shorts- which basically meant it wasn’t decent for women to play sports 🙄 The powerful skort changed that. It’s not just a cutesy portmanteau! (what a great vocab word), thank you, Tanya Basu, from the article in Atlas Obscura. It’s been around since the 1890s! But I get it, once it was ok for women to wear shorts why would we choose to wear a garment that seems to have an identity crisis? It kinda got sidelined from ever being super popular street fashion to kind of just a sports thing- I mean it’s still sooo tennis right? Yes, the reason it was created leaves a bitter taste in my mouth but after researching its legacy, and my own new experience with this historic, iconic garment I see it’s actually a symbol of freedom and power. One of the most powerful women in the world- who arguably is the greatest athlete- male or female (I’m torn between her and Simone Biles) in the world (My son keeps arguing LeBron James 🙄…um hello has LeBron won 23/39 NBA championships??) is a skort Queen. If you don’t know who she is, we share the same birthday (September 26) though she’s a year younger than me. And fittingly I wore this to celebrate, on the day before our day.
But ok, enough, the most important thing is that this skort is super cute and I’m fully team skort now. Thank you TEN TOMORROW by Summer Shiigi for your fashion forwardness. I’m forever changed. Grab one and you will be too. Please just don’t try to convince me to wear a Jort…my friends and I agree- that’s a whole different thing 😬
Also shout out to Keri Kubota ❁ Artist + Creative for creating the gorgeous print and TEN TOMORROW by Summer Shiigi again, for using real artists ☺️
