Business Or Pleasure

1/24/2017

That's the question that comes to mind when I think about this outfit. It's like...business on top and sultry on the bottom. Hehe. So, the last time I wore this vintage floral sweater, I did a super granny kinda deal and kept it completely covered more or less. In hindsight, that was unwise, because the sweater has so many little quirks that I love and deserve to be seen. The thing is, it was crazy cold. So. Yeah. Hehe.

 

I guess I sort of forgive you, past self. Harumph. Anyway, I'm making good on my promise to wear the sweater, again. I'm a little late about it, but whatevs. Heh. So, this time around, I went for something a little less granny and a little more...vintage hipster? I don't know. Haha. The combinations may be a bit paradoxical, but it wouldn't be one of my outfits, if it wasn't, I suppose. Hehe. The oversized vintage men's blazer paired well with the sweater and kept me super warm. Luckily, it wasn't really that cold. All of the snow has practically melted away. So, the over-the-knee tights weren't too out of place. :D


Ah, here you can see the tiny little details at the hem and cuffs of the sweater. I just love that kinda stuff. Even if no one else, but me notices. Hehe. I added the corduroy shorts to keep things modest. I wish the sweater was just a few inches longer to cover the shorts, though. Still, the scallops are a nice touch.
​


I admit, I felt super self conscious about having my thigh area exposed. My partner stared at that area for sure. Haha. >_< I'm sure other people looked, too, but the whole being embarrassed about my body thing has to stop at some point. I think I have decent enough legs and it wasn't super cold. So, yeah. There they are, people. Look or not, but either way. Deal. Hehe. I think this is a cute outfit. <3

Totally true, we shouldn't be embarrassed because of our bodies - and I remember once when I always said "I am fat" and you wrote to me "never say this anymore". But that is because 5 years ago I was, believe it or not, 34 lbs. thinner, and started to find comfort in food, when my parents passed away. Nevertheless, you are right - we should embrace our bodies and your legs are beautiful and so are you! I loved the sweater and I liked it that way, with the shorts hem - so sweet, underneath. Surely people will stare, but that's because they were admiring you! Hope you have a nice week!

Right on. I'm so sorry. <3 I'm a depression eater. So, I can understand. I also tend to drink a lot when I'm stressed or depressed and that can really expedite weight gain. So, I'm constantly trying to keep my eating and drinking in check, because I have this fear of being overweight.

It started with my parents. My mother used to comment on my thighs when I was just a pre-teen. Her constant judgment of my body continued for decades. My father would, oddly enough, always comment about how I was too skinny and how I needed to eat more. So, on the one hand, I constantly felt chubby in a negative way. On the other hand, I felt pressure to eat more to avoid looking too thin. At one point, my father told me that he wouldn't come visit me (from Texas - I live in the Midwest), until I ate more, because he saw I sent him a recent photo of me and he thought I looked like I was starving myself. Soooooooooooo, yeah. Needless to say, it's not super easy to feel good about my body. I have to try to undo years and years of horrible conditioning. I'm getting there, but it's still really difficult. Also, I don't talk to my family, anymore. I find that this helps a lot.

Haha. I'm sure there was a little bit of that mixed in there. I guess it isn't *that* obvious that I'm wearing shorts. So, yeah. I can see that. Hehe. Thanks! <3
