Demure? Not Me!

      No Comments on Demure? Not Me!

I’ve expressed my dislike with the whole “trad wife” social media trend before.  You can read that here  https://beckypalmer.me/?p=4969 if you missed it.

I’m bringing this up again because I have recently started digging out some spring/ summer clothing and that includes a few skirts and dresses.  Last year before AND after my vacation to Miami I amassed more of these than I’ve had in probably 20 years and I can’t wait to wear them.

I’m still just as much the goofy dork as I was last year.  I’m still just as passionate on metal health awareness.  I’m still just as focused on demanding equal rights for ALL humans, including the entire LGBT+ community.   I’m still a klutz.

Embracing my feminine side doesn’t mean I’m any more demure or quiet or traditional than I was 2 years ago.  If anything, I’ve found it makes me feel bolder and more confident to free my legs.  And that is a REALLY big deal to me- someone who’s struggled with self-confidence her entire life.

So in spite of what you see from a lot of women wearing dresses on social media, I have NOT turned into a shrinking violet or a trad wife in any sense of the word.  I’ve just refreshed my wardrobe a little.
