So it's Sunday morning. I used yesterday to kind of regroup from last week. In otherwords, I didn't do a damned thing.
Today? I need to get somethings done. But not right now.
Right now I'm sitting here listening to some music and just cruisin' through the internet - shopping, reading, laughing.
Not a bad way to spend a Sunday. Right now I've got "A natural woman" by Aretha Franklin playin' in the background. It got me to thinking.
What makes me feel like a woman? What brings out that "feminine side" of me? Well - I feel great when I'm wearing a dress/skirt with a flowy cut to it. Something that swishes when I walk. Loose and free. Add in pair of heels and well, I just feel good. But that's kind of a no brainer. So I looked a little deeper.
Sunshine. Sunshine and a cool breeze.
A good hair day. If I'm happy with my hair, I just feel good.
A touch. A feel of of someone I care for brushing my skin. Just subtle. Quick. Slight.
A look.
Yeah - those are somethings that get to the core of my feminity. What about you ladies?
And guys? How do you show, in subtle ways, that your lady is....that you find her....feminine? Attractive? Appealing? What little things do you do or say to give her that "boost"?
All that - and now I'm gonna go clean my toilet. Funny - that wasn't anywhere on my list! ;-p
Posted by Tammi at August 6, 2006 10:15 AM | TrackBackThe list is pretty long, and quite often, it depends on my mood. Most definitely the dressing up thing...and I like the same kind of skirts. But as you say, that's a no brainer.
You know what's really cool? Is when I come home from work and one of my girls walks up to me and says "you look really good today Mom. I love that outfit." Fortunately, my husband is apt to do that from time to time as well.
Hugs, snuggling, "I love you's"...they are all part of it as well.
Oh, I almsot forgot, now that I have written a post in your comment section, I really feel very feminie after I get my hair cut/syled. It's once every six weeks that I can go somewhere and think only of me. And when I'm done, my hair is perfect. I just wish I could take my stylist home with me.
Great post!
Posted by: Moogie at August 6, 2006 10:44 AMFeminity isn't a "look" for me, it's a feeling.
I could be dressed up or wearing some sweats and a t-shirt, it really has nothing to do with it.
It's how I feel at the moment,do I feel thin or maybe my hair looks great or am I feeling a little spunky, that is what makes me feel feminine.

"Thank You"
My weakness is "long delicate fingers"
