Just a female thing?

anglise

Since drifting from the org over the last year or so I have been slowly updating my clothes. I thought maybe it was just me who had been dressing like a middle aged matron since I was 23 but whilst talking to a young xsister recently I learnt that she too has thrown out most of the clothes she used to wear whilst a dub.
Has anyone else found themselves doing this, and is it just a female thing?

Not just a female thing. I used to have to dress to show that I was "no part of this world". Now girl let me tell ya...

Shopping at the GAP J.CREW I got it goin ON!!! lol

Everything changed, including that goofy "clean cut christian" hairstyle.

Not just a female thing. When I left the Borg, I noticed that I had tons of black slacks, tan slacks, and white and powder blue oxford shirts. And that was it!!

Now I have shirts of every color in the rainbow; slacks of all sorts of colors; no sensible shoes; a beard, steel-rimmed glasses; and I forget what all else.

I'm a free man in more ways than one! Go for it!!

I sport a gray beard and my favorite atire is all denim - blue jeans, denim shirt and jacket, and top it off with a black leather cowboy hat. I think I will wear that outfit to the Assembly this summer.

LOL I can't believe only men have replied to this thread.

I haven't really changed much. I left at 18 and I am 26 now, the only thing I probably would have if a dub is dresses. I don't mind wearing dresses or skirt, I just hardly ever do. I think the one thing I do do now and would never had done as a dub is sport a bikini, and hip huggers.

Of course I am seriously thinking of a tattoo. I have wanted one for 10 years now, just haven't gotten up the nerve to do it. I think that would be my major makeover when and if I do.

Does anyone else have tattoos? And what do you have? I will try to scrounge up the tattoo I want online and post it here.

larc, heard of Just for Men?

took them a while to get me into a suit... it was straight off and away after each meeting, i would avoid wearing it when unneccesary at all costs.

Hi Wendy,
I have a celtic interlacing armband tattooed on my left arm. I'm wanting to get another one.

haha wendy i just had to reply to you, i have three tattoos. an arm band (but it doesn't really go all the way around....first half hurt like hell!), a turtle on my lower back, left side and a gecko around my right ankle (but i'm getting a new tattoo done over the gecko). i think you should go for it and get a tattoo!

this thread is interesting. i've always loved to express myself thru clothes and was lucky that my 'rents allowed me to dress however i wanted to for school. of course, meetings and assemblies, i was expected to dress modestly, conservatively, etc (puke!) so it was great after leaving, not needing to waste my money on clothing that i'd only wear to meetings when i turned 18, i got my first tat, the turtle.

when i turned 21, i went thru a "stage", not sure what to call it but it was fun i cut all my hair off, bleached it white, got my tongue and belly button pierced and got the arm band tat.

i think i've mellowed out a bit now....but still have fun with clothes and my style. like wendy, i too sport hip huggers and a 'kini now. i think if i were a dub now, (sheesh! i can't even complete that sentence...the horror!) i do still love to wear skirts, long, medium and short but not right away after i left. i've discovered that long skirts are the most comfortable clothing around. and skirts are so much more comfortable in hot and humid weather

anyway....before i get carried away on this whole clothes/tattoos/self-expression deal..lol.

it's great to see others having fun with self expression

lots of love
harmony
