Hiding Behind “Too Much”

Is this too much? That is what I asked one of my sons after I paired:

Sequin Feather Pants With A Bright Tulle Skirt

As he washed a dish in the sink, he looked at me and said, “No”. Then when about his business.

I was headed to church and concerns started to bubble up about being too loud and in “your face” with fashion. I was being bombarded with “Who do you think you are?”…”This aint no fashion show!”…”Why do you have to always be soo BOOM in these rooms?”.

Scale back -> you’re trying to get attention -> put on something toned down and “normal”!!!

Hard stop!

As I looked in the mirror, I thought about that question:

Is this too much?

Like what does that even mean really? Isn’t that relative? & who really cares?

I also thought about the person I asked. He often wears his shirts backwards and doesn’t care to turn it around. He has a very “Imma do me” mindset and style. So his response made sense.

I love how he embraces his own world, so much so, that I remind him to protect it.

Had I asked a more reserved person -> I may have gotten a “Yes”.

Would I have listened to their opinion and changed out of something that made me feel playful?

My daughter Queen Glory, 4 years young, puts on what she wants, says “Tadaaaaaaa” to her own self, and sashays along!

She doesn’t give a foolakie – she knows she is cayute.

I wore my “questionable” outfit today.

As I picked up Queen Glory from Sunday School, a girl walking out looked me up and down! She appreciated my gold glitter shoes. We put our feet by each other and she excitedly tells me:

My Shoes Light Up!

We giggled it up as she gave tapped into a light show!

Lovely, someone is waiting for you to:

Be “Too Much” !!!

You can be the glitter, sequins, and tulle – at the same time!
