I went to my first "slumber" party tonight. While I won't divulge many details, I will say that I will certainly be attending more.
So, as I'm sitting there rubbing sugary scented edible lotions on my arms with girls I barely knew an hour before and marveling over adorable lingerie, it got me thinking about single women. (sorry if there's a theme this week, no reason.) Well, no, it just got me to thinking about women and how we value ourselves.
It struck me when the party's main lady (um I don't know what her title is) talked about wearing lingerie even if it's just while you're cleaning the house or wearing sexy lingerie under your clothes in the office to boost your confidence. I always thought lingerie was pointless until she said this.
No, no, this entire post isn't about lace and transparent garments. Keep reading.
As the night continued, it felt good to just have fun and acknowledge your sexuality. I think too many times, women downplay their sexuality and attractiveness both when they are single and when they become too comfortable in relationships. It's OK to slip on some cute skivvies every now and again at night, even if you're the only one in your bed. And, it's OK to surprise your significant other with some fun "toy" that you ordered from a catalog and spent way too much money on. The entire night reminded me that confidence is the sexiest accessory any woman can put on: timeless, fabulous, and classic.
Today was just one of those days when I didn't feel attractive, especially in my leggings and star patterned kicks. Going to this party just gave me that little boost. Whatever it is, a "slumber" party or a night out with your friends, do something for you that makes you feel amazing without any man having to tell you that you are. You don't need it. Just like the lingerie will eventually fall to the floor, so will his compliment if you don't have the confidence to back it up.
Love freely,
tY
