Realizations And Confusion

(Upon being told by a friend to 'just wear something that makes me feel pretty')

Aside from the fact that I don't actually own anything that falls into that category.... When did I go from being a girl who felt closest to attractive in long ruffly skirts and drape-y tops to a girl who feels closest to attractive in jeans and a tank top?

I'm not usually a casual-clothes sort of person, or at least I don't think of myself that way. So this realization is a bit odd, and I'm not quite sure what it means, if anything....

(Yes, I still adore long skirts and pretty dresses - but they're more likely to trigger a 'this dress is gorgeous' reaction in my mind than 'this is what I should wear to feel good about myself....')

Brains are weird.

At the risk of seeming crude, perhaps some part of your subconscious recognizes that big ruffly skirts, unlike properly fitting blue jeans, completely obscure one of the best bits of your chassis. (Hey, you said it yourself a while back. :)

But properly fitting tight skirts....
