Days when I do go out, I always dress how I want regardless, but sometimes my focus is different - sometimes I need to be professional, sometimes all I care about is being comfy. It depends on the day. <br /><br />I do think that women face this kind of wardrobe dilemma (how they want to dress vs. how they think they should dress) to a much stronger degree than men.Amanda G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03845446576703097607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322899590755780365.post-3475779029501494822012-11-08T03:29:22.228+13:002012-11-08T03:29:22.228+13:00Thanks for sharing your story and the pics in thos...Thanks for sharing your story and the pics in those cute shoes.

Like you, ...Dressed to impress as always Miriam :)<br /><br />Like you, I love that the way I dress characterises me as being me. I think our clothes should express our personalities and I always buy and make clothes with this in mind. At the end of the day, you should wear what you love and what makes you feel great, even if you do sometimes get the odd funny look!<br /><br />Thanks for such an encouraging post <br /><br />Holly xBamboo Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581013198728053357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322899590755780365.post-89949893398342900942012-11-07T12:09:34.939+13:002012-11-07T12:09:34.939+13:00Laura - thank you so much that is such a beautiful...Laura - thank you so much that is such a beautiful and encouraging thing to say.

My style has definitely become braver since following blogs and starting one of my own - but whereas now I'll mix crazy patterns and think nothing of it (and also not expect any readers to be over shocked in any way), I forget that those who actually see me in real life don't read fashion blogs and are not used to seeing pattern mixing and bright colours from head to toe. Not that it bothers me at all, nor indeed would it make me change the way I dress(!), but what to one set of people is "normal", is "outrageous" to another. <br /><br />So well done you for dressing up and letting the compliments pour in! Even without the compliments I know we'd all still dress up and feel great anyway, but the nice things people say are the cherry on top, aren't they :))<br /><br />And I'm LOVING those shoes. Red AND glittery? Too much loveliness!!!!!<br /><br />Catherine x<br /><a href="http://notdressedaslamb.com/" rel="nofollow">http://notdressedaslamb.com</a>Catherine, Not Dressed As Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189388776095182375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322899590755780365.post-67169425375336323682012-11-07T09:51:22.066+13:002012-11-07T09:51:22.066+13:00I love that you memorise what people wear.
