My uniform is/are dresses. I fell off of wearing pants a couple of years ago and geez it’s hard to go back. Pants have a waistband. Waistbands dig into all the adipose tissue. They’re not nice to me.
Dresses allow your body to be free. Plus they’re pretty and they’re feminine. After spending much of my younger years feeling, well, unattractive, it’s good to feel good.
I realize dresses are not for everyone and that’s totally cool. My younger sister is not a dress person and never has been and she still looks great.
I think for me, it’s the whole 1950’s housewife vibe a little bit. Not that I’d want to be a stay at home, bake pies and casseroles and have my man’s slippers waiting at the door kind of person, okay wait, maybe I kind of do.
I think we all see parts of the generation before us having experienced really cool things and the clothing and cars of the 50’s and 60’s is something I would have loved.
Also, I like to be different. Yes I can admit that. Because not a lot of women wear dresses where I live, I like being the one who does. Summer or winter. Pantyhose are a vibe. It’s just really difficult to find ones that don’t rip AND stay up. I’m a bit of a pantyhose connoisseur if you will.
