First time wearing a skirt to work and in public. Still don't have some nice boots but I have sneakers that may be alright with this.

You are looking spiffy, sneakers work great with skirts. Little white socks with sneakers really bring out the look.

I'm not sure I'd combine straw and hay with a skirt. That stuff gets EVERYWHERE and it's itchy. Most farm girls I know are jeans all the way.

 

Hugs!

 I am so done trying to cover myself up and hide from people. I went everywhere including the in-laws today. The whole outfit: Black skinny jeans rolled at the bottom, 3in heel booties and a black Cami. In my Jeep with the windows down and my hair tied back.

OK so I finally did it. I bought my very first pair of leggings yesterday. I've never worn any before and I so scared of wearing them in public. They are tight and I'm big and I'm afraid of what people that see me will say when they see me in them. I may seem confident and I can be at times, but in this case I'm not so sure. My mom picked them out for me when we were at Walmart, she told me that I should wear them around the house until I get used to wearing them, also she said buy a long shirt for when i wear them out. I'm still not so sure.

 

What do you guys think?

I have some, but I only wear then with tunic-type tops.  I don't have much of a butt I'm afraid.

I wear them out all the time. Long shirts are your friends. They are super comfy, and fur lined ones in the winter. I was missing out. Then I needed cute boots too.

I wear them exclusively when I go out, usually with a jacket or sweat top. I find them to be really comfortable, especially on long walks with my dog. I guess I see myself as an athletic older woman, for now.

I transitioned 25 years ago and I wore leggings out shopping for the first time just recently! I'm self conscious about not having any hips. I normally wear mom jeans.

I'm wearing leggings right now. If you're concerned about your first time in public, try wearing them under a skirt. We (meaning women) all own several pairs. There's nothing wrong with wearing them out and about.

 

Hugs!

Wear them inside a few days and see how you like them. We wear clothes for ourselves, not others so if you like them then wear them.  I love them. Also skinny jeans and jeggings.  If you still have boy parts, definitely wear longer tops.  Most of the women on my staff wear them and they (staff) are all different shapes and sizes.  Case in point for me today are athletta "jeggings" which are basically leggings that have a more "denim" look. I have a longer top and use an accent piece of jewelry.  The big accent makes people look there vs my butt (hopefully)  Also today, NEW SHOES!  I'm hoping to wear these out on Ladies Weekend bar night with black "pleather" leggings and have to make sure they are broken in before roaming the streets of Savanah.

Thank you girls. I feel better about wearing them. @Elizabeth Star, I think I too need a really cute pair of boots to wear with them. I'm going to go to a shoe store at the mall later and see if I can find anything that speaks to me. I really need to find a long top or I hope my booty looks really good in the leggings. lol

 

I really want people to say Damn! and not Damn?  lol

Cute sandals or wedges work with black leggings, sneakers work with more "athletic" leggings and of course ankle and knee high boots are classic.  Make sure you have all your seasons/occasions covered;) Happy shopping!

OMG! I just got two tops I ordered from Amazon. I love them so much and ones long enough to wear with my new leggings. What do you guys think?

That first top is kind of daring for me. You've got to give me a hint though, what do the leggings look like? I can't outfit match with just half the outfit.

I will post a pic with it together. Going to get cleaned up. I’m not looking my best because I’m spring cleaning. But here is a pic of the leggings. Just know, mom picked them out for me. Not really crazy for the pokadots. Would rather had a solid color pair.

I’m still getting used to how women wear a lot of different prints instead of how men wear more plain stuff.

I would pair that with a more solid color top, mixing patterns is challenging.  I like pokadots. Solid leggings are nice because they can go with just about any tops. #StapleItem   I have a couple leggings that have patterns but I'm basically relegated to just one or two tops to pair with them that have complimentary colors. Also, think about layers. You will notice most women have layers to their tops.  A cami or light shirt with a long sleeve top layer like a cardigan or denim top.  (both staples as well IMO)

That's what I thought. Like I said, mom picked out the leggings, I wanted a navy or black pair. But mom said they would look nice with my black top and or a over sized white cardigan. I want a white or red v neck top to wear with the blue camisole top and a nice navy skirt. I plan on buying several more pairs of leggings. Just not pokadots.. lol

 

Over all I am happy, it means that my wardrobe is starting to fill out. I'm actually excited.

Yeah, I was just thinking that about the layers. I'd go with the first top with another layer over that to cover my shoulders. Preferably in a solid black or at least a dark blue. Personally, I'd try to match with the color of the leggings and let the top be my accent. I'd add some simple jewelry (a chain or pendant, silver because gold looks awful on me) and I'd be good to go.

 

The patterned top won't work with the polka-dots. Way too busy.

 

Hugs!

      I grew up with it, my mother's side were Germans.  I still like cabbage.  I make a sweet/sour dish with vinegar and brown sugar, add some bacon if you have it.  And in warmer weather, slaw.  I like that better if it's a few days old, and has worked off a little.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      In the warmer weather, Mine is hitting the road on the bike. Just me, the bike, and the road. Other is it music or working on one of my many projects.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.
    • Heather Shay
      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
