What the?!

Warning: The following post contains sensitive material. Do not read if you are offended about the discussions of female anatomy!


I was going to do a really provocative post about labiaplasty after my friend Ayiko sent me a story from Jezebel about it. Years ago, when I first heard about the surgery, I was perplexed and aghast. I mean, it's bad enough we have to worry about the things that are visible to the world like our weight, or our breast size - our hair, teeth, eyebrows... our style! But worrying about that?! That is something only a select few will see (hopefully), and hopefully those who have access to that area will know that there are a variety of "styles", so to speak, and they also will hopefully love the person as they are.  

 Unfortunately, some women are comparing themselves to the photo-shopped, and tucked-up pornographic images of neat and tidy vaginas (think Playboy centerfold), and according to this article "labiaplasty and vaginal cosmetic surgery are the fastest growing emerging growth trend in cosmetic plastic surgery."


I guess I just did a shorter version of the post I had in mind. I had an exhausting day with one particular child, so I was going to bail on posting! Tomorrow I will talk about pants and the women who wear them!


Outfit:

Back to layer-mania! I thought I would not be able to wear this shirt again, but I got the idea to pair it with these two skirts.

Shirt: Goodwill. Campus Casuals. One of my favorites! 

Checkered Skirt: Salvation Army. A high school find!

Under Skirt: Friend hand me down. Old Navy.

Shoes: Falchi by Carlos Falchi.They are red and pointy.

Humpday!

Today, after picking up Leo, I ran into a lovely woman I know. Her son, a truly remarkable child, was in my class last year. She was looking very chic, with a gorgeous cream colored sweater-coat, and a jewel tone purple sweater underneath. She had on a scarf, and I think dark jeans with boots. Fabulous! I couldn't get all the details because I was eying Leo as he rushed though the stands at the Farmer's Market. She told me she had been looking at my blog and it had given her a little inspiration! I was very excited to hear this! This is what the whole point of my project was/is: To find inspiration in the clothes I have collected, and to mix it up!

I could, if I had to, wear jeans every single day of the year. I love jeans and I wear them a lot. Maybe it's because I NEVER wore them when I was younger. I was much heavier, so I always wore skirts and very, very, baggy pants. Anyway, jeans have only been a staple of my wardrobe for the past 10 years or so. Wait, I am digressing, but I do hope this blog gives a little inspiration to a few stuck-in-a-rut fashionistas!





Outfit:

I am wearing khakis for the first time in my life! My cousin gave me two pair of Gap Khakis with the tags still on. Two different styles. I am lucky that I have stylish relatives and friends. If I didn't, would my closet look totally different?... Food for thought!

Shirt: Goodwill. Campus Casuals. Totally 80's, and it has birds on it! My shirt yesterday did too!
I wore this on Back to School Never Felt So Good. I guess I can wear this about three more times, max!

Undershirt: This is a black leotard I cut the sleeves off of that I've had forever.

Pants: From Cousin. Gap.

Shoes: Predictions. I think everyone should have at least one pair of red shoes!... If they want to, of course! 

The kids decided to join me for a photo. They know people like to see them!
