Do you ever feel invisible?
Have a good day/evening, y'all. Time to brave the Christmas shopping crowds.
Your new av is lovely Jezzi. Is your hair still red. I cannot tell in that picture![]()
My new boots that have had me excited arrived this week and I have been breaking them in. My left ankle feels really tender from being pushed my boot. G is very excited by over knee boots, even though they are flat. Makes me giggle a bit. I can tell already they are going to be better than what I have been wearing though.
Have I disappeared yet?

I agonised over buying these..

The breaking in is sore, if it helps. The blue suede ones are more beautiful ( and would have been easier to break in) . But the black ones which I got are more practical. Here the suede would have no chance.. I'm a bit jealous of me too
. I haven't had decent winter foot wear for a while, and now I do ( once broken in). I still need G's help to take them on and off though, so I cannot wear them unless he is home

I saw him this morning on one of the news programs. And he uses a blowtorch as well. WTF? Who wants to smell burning hair?

They come in all different leg sizes, from very, very narrow, to very, very wide. So they fit every body. Whether it suits is a different matter, but I am happy. I have kind of long legs for my height (medium height) so calf boots often look weird and wrong and knee boots sit at un unflattering height as you get older, especially if they hit too low. Also, I wear warm, soft, wooly ( cashmere or merino) stockings and I like that they will be mainly secret, my skirts /dresses will mostly cover the boot top.
There are other reasons I chose them too, but these are some.

Thank you, Elle.Well, I think you should check that company out and see. They used to be called duo boots, and people stateside buy them, there are reviews from them. The duo clearance section might have some that would suit you more cheaply? I might try and get some calf boots if they have any longish ones, but normal length ones would probably work for you? Measure and see! They Aren't cheap, but boots that fit well and are made well are worth it. One good pair taken care of give lots of options.
I'll consider it. Cost really isn't a problem, just comfort and fit. And I may be one of the few women on the planet who hate to shop.
I fell out of love with shopping when I stopped seeing value in my own appearance.. Gianbattista ALWAYS makes me feel sexy to him, but I found I struggle to see it myself . One of the things joining literotica has done for me is started helping me see that some people will see the beauty in more than the young and perfect. A compassionate outlook I would take to others but maybe am less kind in applying to myself.
I know at least one other person on literotica who I think treats other people better than treats themselves.
In seeing this I have realised that at some point this has to change, and whether its the self love, which I have to refoster, or the treating myself with love, comes first is not so important. So I am starting with the 'dress for success'. I have bought some clothes, i am starting to enjoy buying lingerie more, I enjoyed being brave to experiment with my hair colour, and bought some make up. Buying boots instead of making do because ' it doesn't matter for me' .....its all part of the picture.
Its important to differentiate between comforting myself with buying stuff, that's not happening, but Rather I am saying 'well, no, I am not who I was when I was x age, and not who I thought I would be now, but this is who I am, so let's make the best of it' not wait for a future that may or may not happen.
So I bought beautiful boots. I'm not keeping things for best anymore so much either.

Why would you?the yellow.
Yes.![]()
Every damn day.

And yes, I've learned that you cannot expect someone else to love you if you cannot love yourself. But that's the real trick, I think.
When you don't have much of an opinion about yourself, I think you're more likely to choose people unwisely.
Or you choose no one, as I have done for the better part of a decade.![]()
Well, given the choice between being alone and being with someone that's not good for you, alone is the better option. I spent a lot of time not believing anyone would find me lovable, so I just didn't trust anyone who showed any interest in me. And, likely, I didn't even recognize some of the ones who may have been interested. Perhaps that was for the best, though there's no way to know that now.
It's tough letting someone in after keeping people at a distance for so long.
