Oh, I can't wear flip flops, for that reason! Too much noise. I'm not sure why I feel like I have to be silent/fast when I'm out and about--I honestly think it has more to do with reading lots of woodsy survival and fantasy stories as a kid than with some sort of urban anxiety. And detective stories with stealthy rubber soles.
I think I don't wear skirts a lot because the ones I like aren't long, and I tend to curl up or perch or be otherwise forgetful of my limbs when I sit or move about and I always look at my clothes and think, "Do I want to have to think about that, getting out of the car, etc?" When I do dress up, it looks nice, but I tend to pair skirts with less-dressy shoes, as if to mitigate the dressiness.
My favorite fun outfit it probably this, with jeans:
But you know, I'm pretty fond of funky, tightish t-shirts. And pigtails. And I like tight pants with a little flare, because I'm a little bottom-heavy and I feel like the flared leg evens me out a bit.
