Clothing insecurities. What would you wear now that you wouldn't before.

 And would you wear this if you were me?

Was doing a little window shopping with my 11 year old daughter.  Saw this and loved it!  It's pink and gets darker on the way down.  Kind of a rayon fabric.  So pretty!  I would NEVER wear anything like this before.  It's a size 10 and tight enough up top to not have to wear a bra.  But I still felt so exposed.  Not sure if it was because I was bulging out in some spots or what.  I loved it, but I don't know if I'd have to guts to wear it out anywhere.  It's just one of those types of dresses that I always wished I could wear and now I almost feel like I can, but I don't think I can! kwim?  I showed my daughter and she shook her head no.  I'm half thinking that she's just not used to seeing me in things like this.

Do you have any clothing insecurities?  Am I wrong to think I might be able to pull this off?  Or am I hanging out too much?

I think you look good!  Your arms look great!   Very cute dress.   You dont need a bra.

My biggest insecurity post-op is my arms. I dont have loose skin otherwise. I am amazed by some here and their bravery to sport their wings.  I would be mortified.  Plastics next summer!  Until then, you will never find me in anything sleeveless.

Thanks! I always say my arms look ok if I keep them by my sides. LOL! Lifting and bending shows the flab and extra fat. They aren't super bad though and I've spend so many years being troubled by my arms that I'm to a point of just saying - what the hell. I'm gonna wear it!

 I think you look adorable!  I <3 that dress.  I am so self conscious about my arms (and boobies) though.

LOL.... I bought a strapless bra! No way would the girls be swinging free! The first time I wore one was when my avatar pic was taken..... I felt horribly exposed! Now, I love them!
