Why not?

As I sat on my couch this morning, sipping my coffee, I couldn't help but think of an article I recently read about how we choose to dress and how we are judged by people based on it. This is something that stuck with me since it is something that I have and continue to go through on a daily basis. The writer talks about how she embraces her body and dresses in a way that makes her happy, no matter what others may think. It also spoke about how we all judge each other too much and although the way we dress reflects our personality, it is not all that we are. You can read the article Here.  

During my entire pregnancy, until literally the day I gave birth at 37 and 1/2 weeks, I wore my high heels. Every single day, I would have to hear, "OMG I cannot believe you are wearing heels! You are going to lose your balance! You are going to hurt yourself! You are crazy!" Well, I say to them "Why not?" 

I have been the subject of judgement quite a bit in my lifetime. I like to dress to make myself feel good. I find that when I feel good about myself then I feel good about everything. Why is it that we feel the need to judge each other to harshly? Is it really jealousy? Does it really make an insecure person feel better about themselves? I am not so sure this is the only answer. Whether people like it or not I will not compromise who I am for anyone. 

I know this sounds like a negative post, but I like to look at it as positive. The article I read and my post are meant to empower women to be themselves and have fun with fashion. Embrace your body and love yourself. 

Me pregnant and in heels!!
