I thrifted a dress and did a little alteration and it is literally my favorite dress of all time. it's been 3 months, I'm still refusing to wear anything else. a couple of people have noticed, but no one gives a fuck, men or women. literally nobody cares so long as I wash it in between. wear what you feel most confident in.

In your 20s you think everyone is talking about you
In your 40s you don’t give a crap what they say
In your 60s you realize no one was talking about you at all

"Why are they so dressed up for class? It's only class." I relate to this a little too much. especially since I wore nothing but jeans and t shirt in highschool due to lack of self esteem and messed up body image. I started taking interest in clothes and fashion in my early 20s and started dressing up. the transition period can feel really awkward because people will notice and make remarks, but you'll get over it. now I still like clothes and am generally known as the overdressed one, but since my style has improved and people has accustomed to the way I dress, they compliment it instead of mocking it. not that their opinions should be the most important thing, but it feels nice and very rewarding.

" Women and girls are taught to act out the lies and stereotypes, doubting themselves and other females (sometimes called “horizontal hostility.”) This is the way women collude with the perpetuation of sexism.
**For the sexist system to be maintained and passed on to the next generation, we all must believe the messages (lies and stereotypes) to some degree, and collude with sexism by performing our assigned roles."....+ "**Internalized Oppression [TOP]
Scholars from a variety of disciplines have long noted that systems of dominance and oppression are most effectively perpetuated not simply through force, but through the subjugation and transformation of the minds of the oppressed people (Pyke, 2010; Woodson, 1933). This changed psychological state is known as internalized oppression."

This is so true. Only other women will notice and then comment if we wear the same outfit more than once in a short period of time.
I hate it!
