Back when I was a rebellious teenager, I would cringe at the thought of wearing a skirt. All I wore was jeans and combat boots. Then somewhere along the years I finally discovered my feminine side and started wearing skirts and dresses.
After I started working in office settings, I ended up buying tons of suits, including skirt suits, but I had to keep my choices safe, which meant a lot of boring pencil skirts in all the colors of a sad rainbow (blue, gray, black).
Lately, I have not bought any new skirts and all I wear is pants, except for a pretty dress on special occasions.
If I have to come up with a reason why I don't wear skirts anymore, I would say it's a matter of comfort (you can't wear sneakers with a skirt), meaning once you decide to wear a skirt, you can't mess around with the rest of the outfit. You will need pretty shoes and your legs need to be shaved. ;)
Another reason why I stopped buying skirts is because I don't need more than one black (gray ad blue) pencil skirt. I already fell in that trap once in the past, when I had six pairs of black suit pants and nobody noticed the difference but me (other people probably thought I always wore the same clothes).
But this year is different. This year I'm looking at skirts again, and I know why: I love pretty patterns, and this season, everywhere I look I see a pretty skirt in the prettiest colors and styles:

I felt the exact same as a kid -- I HATED SKIRTS and being girly.
Now, I find every excuse to wear it OUTSIDE of my work environment
Work is 100% male except for me, so it isn't the best idea to stay under the radar and not cause any distractions...
