Lair of the Lost Girl

If you want to find conservative summer close, L.L. Bean is a great suggestion, as it Lord & Taylor and some of Old Navy. My suggestion goes in the opposite direction though, which is how to get over wearing revealing modern fashion. As a kid I used to be very uncomfortable with my body and how I looked in clothes, but over the years (particularly this year) I've learned to really like fashion and the revealing clothes it involves. This is not because my figure has improved, heck it's gotten worse, and I am the LAST person these designers thought of when they designed their short skirts and strappy tank tops. The key is NOT to compare yourself to how the models look in these outfit, or even how the pretty girls in the mall look in them, but how the rest of the world looks in them. As you walk around for the next few days, try to notice how everyone looks in their clothes. You're eyes are always drawn to the attractive people, so this takes some concentration. Notice the flat girls looking frumpy and the big girls painted badly into their clothes. Notice every moment of pastiness, bad hair, Michillan Man back rolls, poor muscle definition...all of it. Then try on those too short khaki shorts....you'll see that you look just fine comparison to everyone else. That's how I started. Then you'll start to like how you look in them, modern standards on body type be dammed. And for the record, you're not pasty, your alabaster and for hundreds of years (1500-1900) millions of women dreamed of looking just like you. Skin cancer is not sexy, wearing your clothes with confidence is!
