Today, I was brave.

No, I didn’t bungee jump, but I did face a fear. I wore a dress without leggings. I put on a brave face and showed the world that I don’t give an F if they could see my pasty white legs. Today, I decided that MY comfort was more important than being “eye candy” or “covered” enough for strangers. I’ll be honest, at first I was very uncomfortable. I kept tugging down my dress, convinced that I was showing “too much” skin. Eventually, that all faded away. I realized today that the only person who was worried about my chubby knees, was me. I realized that, no amount of cancer-causing sun exposure or self tanner, or gym time would change anything, if I couldn’t face the world and show them my knees. MY KNEES!? It seems so silly now.

And, no big deal, but Eff Your Beauty Standards re-posted my #ootd photo today!

I also flashed the parking lot of Best Buy my spandex shorts (because chub rub), but the wind was the worst part of my outfit choice for today.

World, meet legs. I have a feeling you will be seeing a lot of them this summer.

Outfit: Dress: Torrid (clearance rack, buy one get two free yesterday!) Shoes: Bob’s, Bracelet: A gift, but it’s an awesome Harry Potter bracelet and you can find one like it on Amazon.
