I've been taking yoga for almost 15 years now.
About the same time, I started getting pedicures with color (and always some bright color, not sheer pink) and since then, I would wear my painted toes to yoga class. At first, I used to hide in the back of the class where only a few of the GGs could see me. I quickly found out that no one cared, so eventually I didn't either.
About 5 years ago, I dared to wear a pair of floral crop leggings to class. One of my yoga instructors really gave me positive affirmations, and soon I had 2 pair of yoga pants, and then 4, and then 8, ... I also started wearing matching yoga tops, typically tank tops or racerback tops, but sometimes just short sleeve t-shirts. A few of the GGs in class always looked forward to seeing my outfit of the day. Some even upped their girl game and tried to compete with me.
I restarted yoga this summer, and have gone girly every time. Last Thursday, my favorite instructor was teaching, the one who originally encouraged me. When she saw my toes, she said, "I like what you've done with your toes." The big toe is green and the rest of the toes are red. It's my "Holly" color for Christmas. Then she said, "I love how you look in pink." My pants were a fuchsia pink pattern and I wore a pink T-shirt top with a design.
I love getting complements from GGs.
