Thoughts about the look I present
Wearing tights (or in today's case socks that extend past the line of my skirt) definitely helps with feeling less awkward out in public. I don't feel like I'm exposed.
The belt helps too - I don't feel like I'm venturing forth into the world with none of the things I'm used to carrying on me (keys, wallet, phone).
All of these things feel good and _right_. And I'm grateful for those who have helped me understand this part of me.
