i've discovered that if i buy a new item of clothing that i'm feeling unsure about, i'll keep it close to hand in the house and put it on often. in that way, i become accustomed to wearing it, comfortable in it. then i'll wear it out, and while there's still part of me that's still aware of the item, i'm not as self conscious about it as i was when i bought it.

what 'tricks' have you used to pull off being dressed/accesorized in public?

When I get something new for Jolene, I keep it handy and get used to wearing it and soon it is like any other piece of clothing. I did finally get myself a couple of new wigs and having no experence with them they were strange at first. The more I work with styling them and wearing them, it has become more fun to have them. :)

I sort of do the same - keep the tags on til I get used seeing myself in that particular outfit.
