I have my gorgeous, lacy, blue hipster panty on today. Okay before you report me to the authorities, let me explain myself.
Wearing that blue hipster makes me feel good about myself. Makes me feel like a confident, cool and sexy woman; that I could do anything I want. I know, sounds shallow and trivial right? But look at the lingerie industry; millions of dollars change hands! The Victoria Secrets of the world (by the way, my hipster is from VS) are the ones making big bucks (no returns policy!).
I am sure all of the working mothers out there agrees with me (whether secretly or not!) that there are certain pieces of lingerie that inspires us more than others! I wish I have more of these nice lingerie but sensibility wins most of the time.
As a working mother, my family comes first. I'd rather pay for a $300 art class for my child than a $300 teddy for myself; a month's supply of food than the newest bra and panty set; pay for the electricity bill than the hipster panty in another colour! You get the idea. Most of my undergarments consist of sale items, out of fashion items, items that even grannies would be embarrass to own. Not items that would help me with my mental image of myself.
The penny dropped for me in my bathroom today as I was putting my hipster on.
I don't have to depend on a piece of undergarment to feel good about myself. I can feel invincible anytime I want. All I have to do is to look into my mental cupboard and take out the attitude that would help me feel like a confident, cool and sexy woman. I can wear this attitude all of the time (no need for laundry) and feel good about myself all of the time!
Now to save up enough dough to buy some gorgeous, lacy new lingerie to match my new attitude! Shopping anyone?
Part of a poem by Sam Levinson:
ReplyDelete"The beauty of a woman is not in
the clothes she wears,
the figure she carries,
or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman
must be seen from her eyes,
because that is the doorway to her heart,
the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman
is not in a facial mole,
but true beauty in a woman
is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
the beauty of a woman
with passing years—only grows."
I remember this poem because Audrey Hepburn quote it once. Nice peom
