ajnabieh | Thanks! And A Blog Thing (Reply)

I'd like to thank the folks who've thrown some paid time and points my way! I'm very much looking forward to being able to play around with DW's shiny advanced features. Plus, OMG infinity icons.

I am thinking about participating in Dress Your Best Week, which is a fashion-blogging thing where bloggers highlight their best body parts, in an attempt to move away from fashion as being about "hiding problem areas." I think this is a really great, body-positive, feminist thing to do, and I'm up for doing it if any of my regular readers would be interested in seeing some outfits I put together. Some things about me that may influence whether you are interested in seeing how I dress:

I'm not terribly fashion-forward. In fact, I'm fairly fashion-backward, plus committed to a Quaker aesthetic of simplicity, though not in a dogmatic way.
Most days I don't actually put together orchestrated outfits--but luckily, next week I'll be on a road trip and having to interact with people, so I'll be giving a smidge more thought than usual. Otherwise, you'd mostly just be seeing gardening-and-playing-with-baby clothes.
I'm on the heavy side (which is an issue I'd want to devote some processing to).
My major struggles when assembling outfits are a) the juncture between my soft-butch aesthetic and my hourglass figure and b) my tendency towards performative drag in my clothing choices.

So, given all that (HEY LOOK I HAVE A PAID ACCOUNT I CAN DO A POLL):

I think you're perfectly capable of doing enough research on your own, and don't you have grading to do?
