Skirting around!

I went shopping yesterday and picked up two skirts and a girls tank, and a pair of fishnets and new laces for derby. Discussing my skirt with a friend she said "every so often i dig up the old skirts I have in my closet, but even just standing there in my room, it makes me feel naked and awkward." And it reminded me of a time, only a year or two ago, when I was trying on my old roommates girly clothes. My roomie and girlfriend at the time both said I looked great, but mentally I felt like crawling into a hole and dying. I panicked, for whatever reason, having those clothes on. And now, such a short time later, im happily purchasing skirts at Old Navy! I still have days where im not 100% comfortable, but those moments typically related to body image issues or worries over visibility of sexual preference. Its quite a good feeling, really :)
