I must admit that I find this latest caption and post from Candace to be inspired and raises an idea that I’d never thought of. If I had to be dressed in sweatpants and a baggy sweater I would say that I look frumpy. I am still able to feel feminine on the inside even though I’m dressed frumpy.
I’d be interested to know how different all you girls would feel on the days you need to dress “drab” if you said to yourself that you were dressed “frumpy” instead. Because being frumpy doesn’t make you any less girly.

I felt so girly today! It was weird, really. I’m in between loads of laundry, so i had on my old man jeans and a long sleeve t-shirt. Be that as it may, my mind was completely consumed with being girly. I did have on panties and some women’s sneakers. That’s just normal now, though it helps some.
I had to do some unexpected travel for work. That usually means long drives and the personally required stopping at the occasional liquor store for breaks. I’m a bargain and window shopper for nice adult beverages. Plus, some of the nicest people I have met in retail are at these libation holes.
Anyway, It was like I was girly in thought all day long. It was fabulous! Everywhere I went, I just felt great. It wasn’t simply in the sense of simply feeling good. I felt light and airy. I felt soft and tender. I felt less of my boyish self and more of my girly self. My thoughts translated into my gestures, walk, and posture. It’s not as if I was forcing it either.
How do I know? I caught myself being chatty with a girl at a checkout about this cute bracelet I often wear. It wasn’t anything like flirting. I’m pretty sure she knew that I wasn’t a man’s man and was comfortable with our conversation. She complimented my bracelet and I complimented her hair and her cute nails. There was obviously more to it than that, but I could sense it. It was so awesome to just let my hair down–if that could be possible for me.
Although I felt like I was dressed like a frumpy man, I was still able to experience some girliness. Femininity speaks so well to me and I absolutely know that I’m a better all-around person when I’m girly in thought and action.
Well, I hope for all of you to have such days. Girliness is the best…even if you’re clothed like a frumpy boy.
