A supportive partner is a wonderful thing.
Yesterday, I looked at myself in the mirror: T-shirt, mini-skirt and tights, and thought "you're not 20 any more. Maybe don't try to get away with dressing that way."
Carried on wearing it anyway.
Asked my partner whether I looked to them like mutton dressed as lamb.
Got a lecture about women using that phrase to tear each other down, followed by the affirmation that it's our house, and I should damned well wear whatever makes me happy and comfortable.
This morning I got a follow-up: "you didn't get to be a girl, so it only makes sense that you're filling in for it now."
