All Dressed Up & Loving It!

As many of you know, some of you may not, Master has always required that i wear nothing but skirts, pantyhose or stockings and some type of heel, every day. i own very few pants and the last time i wore pants was last Halloween. The time before that was the previous Halloween. It started out that Master required it, now it is my way of life and my choosing as well as a requirement. i went from wearing pantyhose and a long legged pantygirdle to what i now wear, an all in one with stockings. It's more comfortable for me, more attractive to me and much more attractive to Master. This has been a long time coming it was a slow process and a gradual transformation, i didn't jump in both feet first but Master was patient yet very persistent.

He sent me a paragraph via email last night i think it was from a blog He frequents more than i do but one that we both enjoy.

Here it is:

"I wonder sometimes if we rob our young women of the pleasure of wearing dresses daily in the home, because they are afraid of what others might think. Others may make them feel self-conscious and leave them with a feeling that they have to constantly explain why they are "all dressed up." Also, when they grow up in jeans and tee shirts and tennis shoes, they get so used to them, that they feel awkward in anything else. They do not develop a sense of style or a feeling of gracefulness when wearing a dress. We need to show our girls pretty fabrics in the fabric stores and let them appreciate them. Some girls I know have never been to a fabric store and have never worn a dress or a skirt. When they express a desire to do so, others cut them down and ridicule them. It is sad that our society has come so far backward, and I wonder what would have happened if people said the same things to our Victorian grandmothers. "

There are so many parts of that paragraph that really struck a cord with me. i suppose i have felt alone in my plight. Reading this was validation more than anything else. i can't tell you how many times i've heard things like "Wow, you look nice, where are you going?" or "Oh are you off to work?". People can't comprehend the fact that i get "all dressed up" every day, to do nothing but carry out my regular daily activities. i responded to Master's email by saying that i can't even imagine what people have said behind my back about how i dress. How i'm sure they make fun of me for wearing a skirt and heels to the park or how silly they think i look wearing a skirt to play miniature golf. Only a few short years ago, i would have felt very silly as well. i don't know what happened, if i had a change of heart or if i just became comfortable in knowing that i am pleasing Master. i do know that it's not just the fact that i know i'm pleasing Master. i genuinely enjoy looking nice and wearing skirts. A cotton skirt, t-shirt and 2 inch heels is me in my least attractive attire and i'm terribly embarrassed to head out to the store in my work clothes. i'm happy that i've gotten to this point in my life.

It makes me sad to think that young girls who might be shopping with their mothers would look at the prettiest pink frilly dress and oggle over it, might be shunned by their mother saying that "kids don't dress that way anymore". i know my sister in law was very much against her daughter wearing dresses until she begged for them. As a society we've made girls feel uncomfortable when they choose to look like girls. Shopping for me is difficult, pants, pants everywhere pants. i was thrilled when i first saw the store "The Dress Barn". Hmmmm *very* few dresses in The Dress Barn.

i would love to see more and more women in skirts and dresses and think that they are comfortable enough in their choices that they won't allow the naysayers to talk them out of living their lives as they see fit. Celebrate being a lady and all that entails!

Peace to you and yours,
