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.
