there aren't a great many choices in clothing for women right now. All the stores tend to offer a lot of the same things. You can't beat yourself up for wearing what was available and feeling proud of the body you worked hard to obtain.

When you got negative attention, you adjusted as you saw fit.
Personally, I don't look poorly on all women that dress this way. I just wish that clothing manufacturers weren't so influenced by celebrity, popular culture, etc. and just made clothes that are flattering and functional for women.

I have to be very creative with what's out there right now to be fashionable, yet comfortable and not look like a 'boy toy doll'...lol!

There's got to be a happy medium between 'teen hottie/hootchie mama' and 'school marm/church lady.'
