May. 30th, 2019 01:18 amSo, a pair of shorts I got recently fell apart, and another pair of shorts (in reality a pair of jeans that just plain or wore out and I cut into shorts) finally bit the bullet. I picked up some new shorts (SMALLER SIZE! WOO!) via (the oddly aptly named) Woman Within online store
But I decided to try something. I don't really get too dressy because of one thing - women's clothing fits TIGHT. And I don't mean "just get a bigger size" but more of a "everything is stretchy and/or skin hugging." I run hot, and clothing that close makes me REALLY warm.
But I often like how it looks on other women. And one of those things is leggings. So..well...I bought a pair of cotton leggings to wear on around the room, if not in public. Mainly to try to get used to that skin-hug feeling (it literally makes me feel anxious, and don't get me started with hats - I'll tear hats off my head if one gets on me).
The leggings don't really fit me well. Tight around my turkey calves, loose around my lack-of-hips. Not to mention I Just Look Bad in them.
But I'm gonna keep 'em. It's more for conditioning me to wear stuff that's a little more skin-hugging. I'll give it another shot, because when I lost all that weight a few years ago and fit in more form-fitting clothes...I kinda looked nice.
