Red skirt

So - the other day I was wearing this hot-pink skort thing that I've had for ages - but it just wasn't comfortable. It's weird, because I've worn it many many times with no issues - but after only about an hour it was driving me bonkers - having been a low-laundry day I rummaged through my closet and grabbed this stretchy red skirt that I haven't worn in a long time.

I'm not sure why certain items of clothing in my closet get passed over time and again. My closet isn't overly full, I regularly take things out of rotation and either sell or donate them, so this skirt has made it through multiple closet purges - yet it doesn't get worn very often.

So I grabbed it, threw it on and went about my day. Took our puppy to the vet, went to the library, ran some errands - nothing special, nothing terribly out of the ordinary. But every time I'd catch my own reflection I'd think "Man, I love this skirt!" I was really "feeling myself" that day, I guess.

There is a LOT of VBO* in this skirt - and I think I've talked about this before - but while I'm a big proponent for body positivity - of course the body I have the hardest time being positive about is my own. My belly is a sore point for me. There isn't anything "wrong" with having a belly - but I will admit that I often try to hide it. That said - I surprised myself by how much I still enjoyed the way I (and even my belly) looked in this skirt.

While this was a pretty simple outfit - and not one I'd planned on blogging-, I thought I'd come home and snap a few outfit pics for you all to see. Even a simple, comfortable outfit can be awesome.

Red skirt - I'm glad you still hang around in the closet - and maybe I'll bring you out to play more often.
