pencil skirt

Confession… I HATE my ankles. A combination of genes (thanks Grandma!), bad ankles causing scar tissue, and lack of exercise this past year have really emphasized this feeling for me.

But it is just something we all deal with. No, not everyone hates their ankles. My mom to this day still has nice, pretty, skinny ankles! What I mean is, we all have things we hate about our body. I could give you some spiel about how no one else notices, that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, but frankly, that isn’t true.

As awful as this may sound, I notice when other have something different about their body.
HOWEVER… you know why? Because they are insecure about it. They coddle their feelings of insecurity towards that part of themselves. It shows through in the way they dress, act, and carry themselves. We need to take this attitude problem into our own hands and change the way people see us, by changing the way we see ourselves.
This year I want to try (notice I say try, because it is inevitable that I will do a bad job) to be better at looking at myself. Sometimes you just need to look in the mirror like your are seeing yourself for the first time. That way, at least, you won’t focus on the negative, but the positive.
Speaking of forgiving our flaws, remember, Monrow Attire from a post last week? Yet again, their clothing has been oh so forgiving to me. This pencil skirt hugs in all the right places, without any help. A skirt without a girdle? Buy it quick! (jokes about the girdle people)
