Hm. How to express "your hips are spectacularly spectacular" without looking like a skeevy stalker? ;-)
For my part, I still spend a lot of time in comfort clothing. I like how I feel in jeans and shirts (scaled for the season: flannel-lined jeans and wool sweater in winter, normal jeans and flannel shirt in spring/fall, linen pants and t-shirt in summer), and when I like how I feel, I look better. But I also like how I feel sometimes when I'm making an effort to have style -- so I've recently been giving myself permission to feel, and look, great in a variety of ways. Some days I feel best in comfort clothes. Other days I feel best in a short skirt and clunky boots and a shirt that's form-fitting.
I'm unlikely to ever wind up dressing like the women I grew up around, for one simple reason: I've noticed that, even though I'm embracing my occasional inner femme, I still never feel great in jeans I can't zip, or heels which pinch my feet. *g*
Anyway. Go you for taking risks! I think you look lovely.
