I don’t see my granny often enough but when I do, I’m nearly always wearing one of my granny dresses. And then she’ll compliment me on it. My aunts also like my dresses and always jokingly ask me to give it to them when it no longer fits me. This is funny cause they’re all bigger than I am. Even my 20-year-old sisters like what I wear…

I was chatting to a pal last week and he told me that I shouldn’t wear such dresses: they don’t suit someone of my age and interested guys will be put off by it. Cause you see, some of the dresses skim my ankles and most of them leave a lot to the old imagination.

So here’s the thing: if a guy is put off by someone (as pretty as I am) in a vintage aka granny dress, what does that say about him? And should I ditch my ‘scooter uniform’ cause it makes me look as though I’m a car guard? Can we compare this to my dislike of Crocs? I don’t see how the two can be compared, though: we expect women to show cleavage and as much leg as possible; we don’t expect guys to do the same. So disliking Crocs can’t fall into the same category: we dislike Crocs because they’re ugly, not because they cover up skin that we’d like to see.

What do you think? Should I wear more revealing clothes or should I just wear whatever I feel comfortable in?
