I know it seems like a weird statement but hopefully you will understand by the time this is all over. I am an educated black professional, I spend my days wheeling and dealing in the territory management world and often times have to choose between being casually fine and being casually comfortable. Being that I’m single I have to live with the mantra that I must be flawless everytime I walk out the door. What if that tall dark and handsome man hanging around the produce isle is my husband? So I wake up and do my routine perfectly, I put on clothes that make me feel good, and looking good in them was a plus! Being in the 30+ category I am continuosly wondering where that future mate may be… I try to stay ready so I dont have to get ready. As women we have to keep our body’s on point and wardrobe ahead of the game, not a hair can be out of place, and heaven forbid we have cellulite or stretch marks! With these unrealistics expectations that are placed on us in the media and our consistent struggle to define ourselves for ourselves I had to take a stand… So sometimes I wear big underwear as a quiet sign of independence. Sometimes I have to wear the heels, and the lip gloss, and the fitted skirts… but I will always have that little secret that reminds me that the man that loves me in those will have a bad sista on his hands, and then he’s introduced to the sexy ones!!
