A friend of mine posted this article on Facebook and it made me smile. I have gone through a transformation this summer ( as some may know) and have started to disregard what others think of my body and what I put on it. I felt a little silly today because I was wearing a fanny pack to carry my stuff in while I walked. But now ...I am going to wear it proudly haha

So many people need to see this and understand it. I know some people that go with style is everything, and if you aren't in style well you are stupid to put it nicely...I have some outfits I wear but not proudly. I wear them because they make me comfortable, and sometimes I really don't care and just have to be comfy. I've been called out on it and told how ugly what I had on was and what was I thinking. Not to mention growing up being told that oh your fat you can't wear that...I'm finally getting comfortable enough in my body to say forget it I will wear what I want.

Thank you so much for sharing this, I really needed it.

That was great Thanks for sharing. I know I had to give up wearing my skirts as it makes my mate flip out. I like them as they are very comfortable and I do not have bad legs. But I guess he is thinking I am inviting men by wearing them. I will let them rest as it saves me trouble. But I will wear my makeup in my eye catching colors and I will wear what is comfortable to walk. I am not Pretty, I am classy for me! haha

This is so true. I like to wear things that make me feel pretty, but it's not for anybody else. I don't even wear pajamas around the house -- I put on nice jeans or shorts and a top that has some kind of style to it, not fancy, but just something that makes me feel good about what I see in the mirror. I really don't care what other people think of me. I know I'm not stylish or trendy, but I wear what *I* like. Because no, I don't owe anybody anything as far as my appearance goes. The only person I have to please is myself. So I do.
