How to Dress with More Bravery

I just wanted to pop on tonight. I’m drafting up a harem pants pattern tonight. I need pants, and unfortunately my money doesn’t go as far as it used to. I do have fabric though, so I’m going to whip up a few pairs of knit pants to wear.

My Mom and I were chatting about wardrobes, and being comfortable wearing whatever you want to. If you have been on the fence about wearing the clothes you dream of, don’t fret! Everyone has levels of bravery when it comes to clothes. Some people reserve their bravery for special occasions, and that is perfectly ok! I find myself being more brave under certain circumstances than at other times. I used to try to wear whatever felt good no matter where I went. The thing is, here in the Midwest people are so rude if they think you stand out too much.

I’ve been heckled by the nurse at the doctor’s office, I’ve been shunned in places where you shouldn’t have to worry about being accepted. I’ve walked into gas stations and been made fun of. I’ve walked through department stores and heard people whispering just loud enough that I can hear it.

So I have clothes I wear when I have to be around “normies”…lol, when I have to be around people with small minds and small hearts. Then I have clothes I get to wear when I am with my husband, and when we go places together. Experiment with your wardrobe at home first! Start very small. Maybe you wear a jacket around the house that you wouldn’t normally wear. Or you do a handbag that is a little more colorful than you would normally use. Starting with accessories is a great place to begin.

Have fun with your wardrobe! I swear, people take life so seriously. There are times to be serious and times to just have fun. It’s important to know the difference!
