Reply To: Dressing up in your hometown

[Marika Jaye]

I wear a dress or skirt publicly in my small midwestern town almost daily, always with some form of nylons or tights and feminine footwear, but rarely any makeup or jewelry. I was nervous doing this at first, but after 2+ years doing so, I’ve realized that nobody really cares what I wear. I still get side glances and the occasional double take, but I take them as compliments. I realize I’m an oddity, but I’m 100% OK with it.
