happy me!
Feeling so much better, yay!!! And I've stopped crying at everything thankfully. Emotional rollercoasters are not my ride of choice. I'm more of a tea cup kind of girl.
I was thinking about modesty yesterday modesty in dress particularly. I don't have all that much. I don't always dress overtly sexy but I rarely dress in a way that could be considered modest as in nondescript and not attention grabbing in some way. Take yesterdays outfit for instance. It wasn't skin baring at all, way too chilly for that but a waist length chunky black/red sweater with a cowl neck and a black skater skirt, red tights and black ankle boots is not a fade into the background outfit. I love wearing bright colors and odd color mixes as well as short skirts/dresses and things that show a bit of cleavage. I'm also fond of sneakers and pair them with skirts regularly. I think my style is fun.
It confuses me when I see all these style rules about what you can and can't wear based on age and weight and height in a general way. Clothing is so personal. I'm too short for long skirts in my estimation but I've seen other people my height who really rock maxi dresses. It's all relative. And the no mini skirts over 35 rule is one I break with glee. I have nice legs and have no intention to stop showing them until I'm ordered to. Heels on the other hand I am perfectly happy for someone else to take. give me kitten heels or flats any day. I just never got the hang of the blasted things.
I wonder how many other women feel like imposters when they dress up modestly. I get all buttoned down and demure and it feels like a costume. I guess that's a sure sign that t is really not "me".
