OK, warning, this is a snarky, snotty vent post. Lately, a couple of people in my life have been giving me flak about my clothing choices. Particularly about the fact that I don’t wear sleeveless anything and I rarely wear short sleeves. I have two reasons for that. One, I’m freaking cold most of the time and two, I don’t like the way my upper arms look. The truth is, though, I shouldn’t have to give any <insert profanity> justification for what I choose to wear! If I’m not comfortable in sleeveless or short sleeves then why the <insert string of profanities here> should I wear them? Here’s a news flash, I wear clothing that I like, that I feel comfortable in and that I find pleasing. I don’t give a single <insert another profanity referring to a rat’s rear end> if you are more comfortable sleeveless, I’m not! I don’t care if you think that my arms look “just fine,” I don’t! I have a mirror and I can clearly see these cottage cheese batwings of mine. I don’t care if you think I should flap them about anyway, I’m not comfortable with that!
Anyone else having problems with people saying, “Oh but you should wear this,” when “this” is not something you’d touch with a 10-foot-pole?
