I use to wear micro mini skirts and dresses almost to my butt. My dad hated it but bought the clothes, few years later I wore almost nothing but long dresses and skirts being like a flower child lol. Funny I think he was more worried by that culture and my macrame headbands and peace sign mobiles with black lights in my room. 😛
