Skirt alert
Even though lots of women wear pants most of the time, the skirt remains an icon of femininity. It's the skirt that tells you the figure on the ladies' room door is a woman. There's a fashion-forward shop in Bryn Mawr called Skirt. There's an online women's magazine called Skirt. Actress Tracey Ullman's online shopping site is www.PurpleSkirt.com.
