Feminine things

I’ve never been much of a girly girl. My fiancé will dispute this, no doubt, but I just don’t consider myself as a pink wearing O.M.G!! type person. HOWEVER, I have rekindled my love of wearing makeup. I wore more of it in the past few days than I had in, I would say, a year. Everyone who knows me knows I don’t wear makeup regularly. It’s only on special occasions and such. In high school I wore it quite a bit, every day in fact.

Then I also wore my boots that were, in high school, dubbed “hooker boots.” Yeah, thanks for getting me in trouble with my mom when describing them, XBF. Now other than the box toe they are still really cute and awesome to wear downtown with the girls. (Another thing I don’t normally do.)

Yes, I’m an introvert. I love reading. I love to write (although for the past week or so that has been mostly for work). I love being myself even if that means that I like having the house to myself to clean or watch TV that happened a long time ago in terms of this new fast paced age. (I mean, if I’m going to be addicted to something would you prefer the above or the alternative? That’s what I thought.)

Anyway, being this person who wears makeup and heels made me feel…girly…and I kind of liked it. So much so that I’m wearing the really cute poke-a-dot shoes with the blood read heel.

You know you want a pair.

Should I do this more often? I know I really should for my self-confidence but at the same time I don’t exactly have the funds to support this habit as of yet. Then I don’t want to be a conformist, if you will. If I wear makeup and look like all the other women around me am I still going to be who I want to be: a plain faced, no product in my hair, novel writing crazy person? Or is it that I can wear heels still without the makeup? Does that work? Geez, I’m out of the loop.

Oh, by the way! I’m a part of writersmarketplace.com now. I just have to print off sample chapters and send it to quite a few publishers and keep my fingers crossed. Then hopefully not sob when the rejection mail comes.
