Yesterday, I did something I've never done in my LIFE! It was bold! It was daring! It was definitely outside of MY box! It was something I never thought I'd be ABLE to do, much less look GOOD doing it!
Yesterday, (wait for it...) I wore leggings! I had bought them a couple weeks ago - black, with some big pink flowers on them. I didn't go shopping for them - just saw them at CVS and thought, "Hmmm. I wonder how bad I'd look in those?" They were only $7.99, so I figured it wouldn't be much of a loss if they looked terrible, and I could always take them back with the receipt if they were utterly ghastly!
Last night, I finally got up the courage and wore them to my friend's house - with a black v-neck top and longish 3/4-sleeve black sweater, and with my knee-high black boots. Her response? "WOW! You look GREAT! Very fashionable!" Think of it, ME? Fashionable?
I told her to be honest with me and tell me the TRUTH - like maybe, "Well, they look PRETTY good, but I'd wait until you've lost a little more weight in your knees (or thighs, or stomach, or butt!) to wear them." She didn't waver from her original statement! And this is my THIRTY-TWO year-old friend - not some old fogie like me (64-1/2)! It made me feel very good! I actually felt a little "sassy" after that.
It took a LOT of bravery on my part to even put those leggins ON, much less to wear them out "in public," even though I was just going to see her. But, now, I've got enough confidence that I could definitely wear them to the grocery store, and MAYBE even out to a fancy dinner! Whooda thunk?
