I realize this probably comes across as a sacrilege, but these days I feel like dresses are just too feminine for me. :confused3:
Don't get me wrong: I love the things & think they're awesome. But I've gotten to a point where they're really just "not me" anymore.
I didn't go too heavy into them this go-around, because I kind of already knew that in the back of my mind. I do have two short, simple, comfy ones I picked up like a year ago... Throw on some tights, and I'm good to go.
But again, they're not for me, personally. The whole concept of a dress being too femmy? Yep!
It's fine. I used to love wearing them (and skirts) back in the day, so I've certainly had my fair share & my fill.
And against an overall "backdrop," I've been gradually & increasingly moving away from feminine looks & clothing over the decades. I've found that there are other ways to explore & express the femmy side of things.
Oh, don't worry: Some of my fashion & work-out leggings can get pretty darn feminine sometimes.
However, there are quite a few things now that are simply just not for me anymore. Eh, whatever. It happens.
