I have a picture of one of the new skirts now! It’s exciting. I’m actually quite happy with this one…so far it might be my favorite.

It’s bright and colorful, which I love. I love that I will have so many different color options for a blouse to wear with it. And it’s hard to go wrong with a simple pencil style skirt. There was a time when I only ever wore jeans and a cute shirt. I might dress up in a dress or skirt outfit on occasion (such as a date), but I was always afraid I would be over dressed…and being a shy girl, that didn’t go over very well with me… I wanted to blend in, not stand out. I always tried to take to heart the quote by Oscar Wilde “You can never be over-dressed or over-educated,” but I just couldn’t do it. Then, some years ago, I met a couple who are very dear friends of mine now. She was always dressed in skirts and dresses, with her hair and makeup done, and even pantyhose. So now I started feeling under-dressed all the time, which I quickly learn, was far worse than being over-dressed. It got me in to wearing my “fancy” clothes more often until they started becoming my normal clothes. Now it feels weird to walk around in jeans. Occasionally I have days where I miss my jeans, but I realized I have so much more self confidence dressing up everyday, and putting effort in to how I look. Quite often I get odd looks, some appreciative, some jealous, but they don’t bother me any more, because now I am so much more comfortable in my own skin. And at the end of the day, that is such a better feeling.
