3. A black miniskirt makes her feel kind of badass.


4. She's oddly proportioned and has a hard time finding jeans that fit right.


5. It's laundry day.


6. She actually didn't plan to come to a bar this evening, but some friends asked her to join them, and she happened to be wearing that skirt today.


7. She started playing roller derby recently and can't resist showing off her new bulging thigh muscles.


8. She just got out of roller derby practice, in fact, and that's what she wears for practice.


9. It's part of an obscure character costume that you don't recognize.


10. Knee boots are great for rainy days.


11. It was a gift, and she's trying it out.
