Sometimes I want to wear a skirt or a dress. Sometimes I wanna feel PRETTY in a completely asexual way, like I did when I was nine and wearing a favorite dress on a field trip. Or, you know, I just want to wear a skirt because I like how it looks in an objective non-gendered way. I feel forced to dress butch if I'm leaving the house (especially on

It's actually only in the last few years that I've discovered that I actually quite like wearing dresses outside of super-special occasions.I've never been a particularly butch dresser, but I spent years primarily wearing Tee shirts, sweatshirts/hoodies and casual pants.

Girls will tell me I look nice, but the most I've gotten from guys is "what are you all dressed up for?" Since they're used to jeans and tee shirts. On days I want to wear a dress and feel suddenly awkward about it, I wear jeans at the same time. It lessens the dress-ness of it, and I actually kind of like the look
