seabird78I am wearing leggings today to make my semi-short dress work appropriate.
This is not a huge deal. But it makes me think back to my early teenage years, when I longed to be “fashionable” in leggings under oversized, loud print button-down tops. There were loud arguments about this with my mother, who refused to allow me out in public “looking like I was in my underwear.”
It makes me a little smug to finally have reached a place where I can own my own style. And though today’s outfit is nothing like the outfits I was denied, it still feels like victory.
