Long or Short

I'd like to thank IAGN (It's all good now) for giving me the push to continue posting. Hopefully I'll update more often.


I never understood this. Seriously, most of the chumras, mishigasim, minhagim I can sort of understand. (most of the time). The town I live in is the home to many, including:
The yunchy lady
The yunchy lady that thinks she's fancy
The yunchy lady that knows she's yunchy
The fancy lady that is yunchy
The fancy lady that shops at Daffy's
The narrowminded that thinks she's open-minded
And The yunchy lady
Plus many more interesting types of people, you should all visit sometime!

One thing they will all (OK most) agree on is that a long skirt is modern. That is something I don't understand. If I wear a long skirt I get stared at and called modern. But why is it that when most of the above mentioned women wear a short skirt it is acceptable? Let's put
mid-length at a side for now because it's simply unflattering on everyone. When given a choice between long or short most people (in this town) would never wear a long skirt. If you're so 'frum' and concerned about tznius why can't the long skirt become the in thing?

Anyway, what has me so worked up is that I wore this 'moderena' skirt this week and a family member turned up her nose and said its modern and she wouldn't go out of the house like that. I didn't give a hoot and just ignored her, but why don't they get it? I never either got it actually and was wondering if anyone out there can shed some light on this topic.
