**Warning, the following is extremely shallow. But it's nice to have something so trivial be the only thing weighing on my mind for a change**
I'm having a fashion dilemma.
Lately, I've been a little more into dressing up and being a little girly for a change. I used to be so so so afraid of being high maintenence, that I was absolutely no maitenence at all. I rolled out of bed, ran a brush through my hair, and that was it. My wardrobe consisted solely of T-shirts, jeans, and sneakers.
So lately, I've really been coming into my own. I'm more comfortable with my own body than I've ever been. I've realized that it's okay to maybe do my hair every now and then, or wear something that's a little more girly from time to time. It's not that I stopped wearing my t-shirts and jeans, or always do my hair, but it's nice to change things up now and again. I don't obsess over my looks, and I'm still the same person I always was, I'm just having fun finally being comfortable in my own skin.
But I always worry that people will think I'm selling out. That I'm suddenly changing for whatever reason.
Soooooo anycrap, The other day when I was shopping and I found an item I thought to be very cute. At first, it looks like mini-skirt, but it's actually a skort. So no feeling like there's a constant draft blowing up my ass. And it's got this pink flowered scarf for a belt, which is very much my style. I tried it on, and really liked it. It is short, but not to the point of skanky. I feel totally comfortable in it, due to the fact that it really just a pair of shorts underneath. So, I decided to buy it.
Now, there's no point in owning a mini-skirt if you're not going to wear it anywhere, so I thought maybe I'd wear it to the picnic show. I mean, after all, it's going to be the Frog in the middle of July. I've not interest in passing out from heatstroke like I almost did last year.
But here's the thing.
Honestly, I'm worried that people will get the wrong impression.
Everyone who's used to seeing me at shows knows that all I used to wear is jeans and t-shirts, and I always used to be the first one to say "Why on earth would you want to wear a skirt to a concert?".
I just don't want people to think that I've suddenly sold-out and gone slut to get attention or anything like that. And I don't want the people who haven't met me to think that I'm some bimbo that just wants to sleep with the band.
I know I really shouldn't care what people think, and I don't, when it all boils down to it. If people are going to jump to conclusions about someone based on a stupid fucking skirt, well, that's their loss. Besides, the people who's opinions I actully care about already know me well enough to know how I really am and what my motives are.
I guess when everything is said and done, I think it's cute, I feel sexy yet still completely comfortable in it, and I don't think it's skanky at all. Game over. I'll be at the Frog on the 9th, look for me, I'll be the hooch in the mini-skirt.
