haha my family and boyfriend have lectured me frequently on my dressing habits. It doesnt help I moved to the city where the fashion expectation is even higher. Its so contrary to me that women are expected to dress as such to be uncomfotable, at risk for embarrassing exposure, and in the the case of heels and a few other items health risk (bunions, toe scruntching, rolling on your ankles, blisters, calluses, etc). Besides usually not being comfortable many “fashionable” items are either unflattering on me or I plain dont find them aesthetically pleasing. Leggings as pants are only flattering on solid buns! I am however attracted to colorful, intricate, and sparkly things clothing wise.

I find myself gravitating towards certain jeans and shirts. I have nice clothes but find myself fixated on certain pants and shirts – it drives my wife nuts. I thinks she hates those pants and t-shirts.

I dress mostly for comfort too, especially in the winter when it’s mostly track pants, but I get a lot of compliments because I enjoy dressing in the colourful, whimsical things I’ve designed and embroidered myself, such as T-shirts and skirts. My wedding dress, 2 skirts and a green dress are all embroidered with carousel horses around the hem and I have one white skirt elaborately festooned with colourful butterflies. I also have various T-shirts with carousel horses, lilacs, one with licorice allsorts and one with my trio of “Ewetopia” sheep, as well as two of my “Autism Awareness Carousel” T-shirts, all hand-embroidered. I am a walking advertisement for my own work and I’ve sold several hand-embroidered T-shirts over the years!
