Dear Ladies,
Well, I’ve been wearing
skirts/dresses since Ash Wednesday…which makes it exactly 2 weeks ago! It’s
been a challenge, but I’ve also experienced a lot of good things about it. The
first thing I love is how feminine I feel! My favorite skirts are pencil skirts
because they really flatter my waist/body type and something about them just
makes me feel special and important. I have to admit, it might have a lot to do
with the fact that I’ve always liked watching business women walk down the street
in heels and a pencil skirt.
Something else I’ve discovered that
I like is the effort. I have to put more effort into how I look in the morning.
Yes, I can wear a jean skirt and a hoodie, but most of the time I feel inclined
to dress up my outfit. The downside is that it takes more time, but the upside
is that I feel better about myself. My self-esteem and self-image tend to be
much higher when I’ve taken some extra time in the morning to get ready. 
The moral of the story? (er, blog
post) Wearing skirts and dresses for Lent is going much better than I expected
and I actually like it. I’m also in the process of reading “Dressing with
Dignity” so hopefully next time I can talk more about that!
Love,
Bernadette
