Yay 'New' Clothes!

[kyra_ojosverdes]

I'm wearing a "new" sweater today. I bought it (on hyperclearance for about $5) about a year ago, but despite the "L" on the label it was too small. This is the first time I've been able to wear it. It's a dusty-rose color, 100% rayon (mmmmmm rayon), and has a very open knit and flared 3/4 length sleeves. It has a scoop neck and a little ribbon tie under the bust. It is rather sparsely lined (just a bit o' fabric covering the bust area), so I'm wearing a silk camisole under it.

To review:

• First time I've been able to wear it.
• Pink.
• Rayon.
• Pretty, pretty, pretty.
• Hint of sexy which is within 'appropriate work clothing' bounds.
• Silk camisole.

The response? "Well, you should wear makeup to make him think you're prettier."

*boggle* Wow. I... well, I've gotten that before, actually, from my religious leader when wasband #1 and I were having some problems¹ (which someone else saw and reported to said religious leader). He suggested that I might spend more time on my appearance. I replied that I spent a lot more time on my appearance at that point than I had when we were dating, and he seemed to like my appearance just fine then.


At the gagging protest of a number of us, absolutely tons of respondents claimed that makeup is a sign of self-worth and any woman who likes herself wears it. *dies of laughter*

Huh. Did you reply that you'd been under the impression that makeup was for women who thought they were too ugly to go without camouflage?²

So, have you tried Maybelline's new lip-based self-worth offerings? I'm quite impressed with the texture of a couple.

2. I do not think this. It makes about as much sense as their assertion.

I should point out the link for you, to read for your own amusement. You might like the point where one idio--er, chickie was saying ominously that there will be "lots of sweet women" where the husband works, implying that he'll just move on if she doesn't slather up.

I said, "Dunno where YOU work, but here at MonkeySoft, we're all pit vipers."

'Pit vipers' is now popping up all over the board. Heh.

Very nice! I'll remember the pit vipers bit.

If some guy wants to leave you for someone who spends more time in front of a mirror, good riddance, I say.

But then I'd WAY rather be single than unhappy.
