I have skinny, skinny legs, and the worst is that I am not skinny at all, because many girls have skinny legs but also all the body is thin. But this is not my case I have big arms ang big back, but my legs are thin.. so I don't use shorts or skirts.

I've just read this advice: (at the end it's my question)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Now, here is a recipe for building large leg muscles.

1) Do sets of 12 repetitions until you die on # 12. This is called muscle exhaustion, and is where the realy strength and muscle building occurs. ^The last rep, where you muscles scream "STOP! NO MORE" Now, get ready.
2) Stand on one leg, and squat down until your upper leg is paralell to the floor. No more. Then back up Do this slowly.!!!! 5 seconds down, 5 seconds up. Count em.
3)Next, the other leg.
4) Now for the calf. Stand on one leg, and do a toe raise. SLOWLY. That is the real secret. Up and Down. Each leg. 5 seconds down, 5 seconds up.
5) If this geyts easy, you can grab a dumbell, or a gallon container (of milk!) and do them to add weight.
This will increase your muscle tone and shapely legs. There are other things you can do, but if you do this seriously, (i.e., don't cheat on the 5 seconds down and up,) you should discover all you need in great legs.
--------------------------------------------------------------
My question is: How many sets of 12 reps I suppose to do and how many days at week. I hope for your quick response.
 
I tihnk you're in the wrong forum. You should take this to women's weight lifting forum. and I don't tihnk thats the right kind of routine you want to do especially if you're a beginner. Stick to full body workouts. 3x a week.

That is more or less entirely bad advice: where did you find that?
 
Train the same as a male - do squats in the olympic rack with a barbell on your back - go down slowly and in control until you can go no further then push back up.

I am sure any bodybuilder in your gym would be more than happy to help a girl learn to squat correctly.
