Stuff 67: Command the Room

By J.J. Atwell

Going forth

One of the members of my local group is really good at pulling together outfits that attract attention. I envy her because I’m basically the type that wants to blend into the background. But this member always shows off amazing cleavage, wears really long lashes, big hair, tall heels. Her outfits are always glittery and spectacular. 

How much is too much?

There is a school of thought that goes, “if some is good and more is better then too much is just enough.” Whoever said that might have been talking about drag queens. Knowing where to draw the line is hard for women because of all the options they have. It’s even harder for those of us who only get to dress occasionally since we don’t really have life experience in pulling our outfits together. Perhaps with time we will arrive at “just enough.”

Wear it with confidence

Whatever you decide to wear, once you have it on it’s time to show off. After all, you didn’t just get all dressed up to stay in the closet, did you? Well, OK so some of you do. Whichever you do, enjoy yourselves! 

But while you are dressed up, be it in your own house or out in the world, I encourage you to just do it. Don’t slink around like you’re afraid somebody will recognize you. That actually draws more attention than just being yourself as you go about your business. Go out with your head high and be “natural.” 

I’ll be back
