    Basically, just force yourself. Or if you really can't, maybe write a note?

    You need to keep pressing them about it or it will get swept under the rug like my parents have. The note sounds good if you don't want to ask personally.

    I would definitely recommend a note if you can't do it face to face. If you do write one, giving out to them is still hard though so what I normally recommend is leave it some place they'll find it rather than hand out to them directly.

    Alternatively. If you have the means then getting a skirt yourself and just wearing it without consulting then would bring the question to you.

    A note's a good idea, if you are afraid of doing it face-to-face.

    Then ask her to help you get stuff. Simple.
