Yesterday we had a rather emotional discussion on bathing suits. I personally don't spend much time thinking about bathing suits, because they have never made me feel attractive.
Instead, I love day dreaming about the outfits and clothes that DO make me feel attractive- and how I will feel EVEN MORE attractive in them later. While some are thinking of the bathing suits of summer, I'm lusting over the different renaissance festival outfits I'll be able to fit into.
My costume from a couple years ago will certainly no longer fit, in fact- by cinch belt didn't even fit last year. So this year will be very exciting.
So I've been browsing pictures- Will I want a dress?
Will I want to wear leather? I've NEVER worn leather before.
Perhaps I will match DH in his kilt?
So....do tell- let's turn turn out thoughts to the positive- what makes you feel beautiful?
Lunar-those are the style my wedding dress will be, I love victorian style. I am really looking forward to wearing skinny jeans with knee high boots and a corset and my leather jacket again or an pencil skirt, wedges and a ruffle shirt and one more I love the bohemian peasent skirts and flowey blouses with flowers in my hair
The outfit I would love to wear, sounds silly because it's so casual, but I've never been able to pull it off, would be a simple tank top and blue jeans. Having nice toned arms to show off with it!
Honestly? I feel sexiest in well fitted jeans, and T with boots on. I'm really long legged and it just feels like one of my best physical features, especially since I have no butt. NONE. And, I walk differently, taller, more of a strut. But, I also love anything I can wear a heel with. I figured out very young, I was going to be tall and my mom never encouraged slouching, all the women on her side are 5'9" + except for one aunt and her daughter, so we always had role models of women who were Twiggy-esque and flaunted it.
mine would also be skinny jeans with boots and a tank or fitted tee. I don't know if I'll ever be comfortable enough with my upper arms to pull off a tank, but I think the rest of it is a realistic goal!
This is what I can get away with now
This is what more what I'd like to be able to get away with!
I want to be able to wear a fitted cotton shirt (not a t-shirt) with a pair of jean shorts and strappy sandals, maybe even in a color instead of my standard black all over. Of course I want this to be totally casual and no parts sticking to flabby overhanging parts.
My other outfit is a dress that I used to own and can't find it so I must have tossed it. I can't find anything like it online or in stores. It's a simple buttondown front, had fitted shoulders and a sweetheart neckline, and shorts for the bottom instead of open but you couldn't tell it wasn't a dress. I dream about this outfit, I will find something like it if it's the last thing I do. I never felt more beautiful than when I wore that dress. So simple but so perfect to me.
Lunar, I absolutely love the second picture (black and red dress)! But I wonder, would it be heavy?
I personally have learned from experience that it is best to buy dresses while you are still losing because it can be taken in a couple times before it gets too warped. I'm not very good at adjusting pants and t-shirts so I just leave that alone, lol.
I feel sexy in skinny jeans and 2 inch heels with whatever shirt on. I have added a pic of me below as an example.
