girly feelings

Whenever I wear lace, I feel really girly. There’s something about the fabric that screams femininity to me. It’s hard for me to be girly sometimes. As a child, I was always a tomboy and as an adult, surrendering to my womanhood can be a challenge. Don’t get me wrong, I love being a woman, but there’s something about “feeling girly” that makes me cringe a little. I think it’s the idea that girly equates weak or helpless. I’d like to turn that notion on it’s head and look as girly as powerful and fierce. The ability to embrace femininity and be confident in being a woman and all that comes with it: that’s power. That’s bad-ass. Just some thoughts on womanhood for this here Wednesday.
