Bobbie I hear what you were saying about being dressed to make yourself feel confident. I have always been a Wrangler jeans and Roper boots person, and my mother despaired of me ever wanting to wear dresses, nylons and high heels, and that sort of thing! J It was probably a rebellion against having to wear skirts to school even when we had 2 feet of snow And addresses were mandatory apparel for jobs from the sixties to seventies. Whatever the reason, although I did enjoy dressing up occasionally, Wranglers it was.
When I broke my neck I was advised in rehab to wear sweats-not my style. Within a few months I was back in Wranglers, which made me feel confident in myself. Now 22 years later, I still wear Wranglers (although I do have some dressy slacks to wear for special locations), still wear makeup and make sure that my attendants know that I want to look nice and appropriately dressed. I also think that it makes it easier for new acquaintances to see who I am and accept me as I am. Each of us needs to find what makes us comfortable in our own skin. OK, I’m off my soapbox for the rest of the day. A great day everyone. Joan
