Hi, gang.  It's been a long time.  (Ref. messages < 1000).
Just thought I'd toss this one in:
I used to dress for the men in my life.  ALL of them abhorred makeup,
fancy hairstyles, dresses, heels, etc.  "Give me a REAL woman!  Not
Madison Ave!!"
Another convert to dressing for HERSELF:  I LOVE to play with light
amounts of makeup; love the feel of smooth, silky skin, like the
breezy feel of skirts and dresses.
Also, as it turns out, I have a genetic predisposition toward a short
Achilles tendon, which makes 1" - 2" heels MUCH more comfortable
than flat shoes (which my SO would prefer...), so I've given up the
pain of loafers and clogs for pumps and heels.

I make these comments to point out that we are each subject to our
own brainwashing... and it feels SOOO good when you come to terms
with what's right for you.
