A few weeks ago I bought a new shirt. I didn't bother to try it on, I liked the color, I liked the length, so why bother? Oh my! My "girls" are on show in this shirt! As I put the shirt on this morning I layered it with another shirt that covers everything, and I thought to myself - holy crap media you have gotten all women to believe we are suppose to show off the goods!
Now, don't get me wrong, there is nothing sexier then being on a date with my hubby and showing him the cleavage and what he is going to have for dessert, but during the day? During working hours? I am a real estate agent my working day is everyday all day long, I don't need to be showing those kind of goods!
I find nothing wrong with the females who can/want to show off the goods, but do not make me feel bad about (media)! I was thinking as I layered this morning - why can't you be comfortable enough with your body to show these girlies off? Then my rational side said - WTF?! You are comfortable, you walk around your home naked all the time, you wear form fitting dresses! Hell NO you didn't just try to make yourself bad for not going with the "norm".
So beside us women fighting with the idea that we won't look like any star from any tv show, because our bodies aren't built that way, we also now have to contend with thinking we need show more. There is something wrong with us for dressing appropriately, for covering up. Trust me, I am all about- do what you want, I am not judging. But me not judging has a clause for myself. And I am a little over that clause. I am going to be 29 soon and it is about damn time that I be ok with not going with the norm. If you knew me in middle/high school you know I wasn't for the norm. Not in a goth way, in a way that I did what I wanted and didn't care what you thought. ( I wore Hawaiian shirts for most of my senior year). I am still like that but I catch myself chastising myself for not showing the goods more. Hell NO media, you are not winning this girl over!
