Lorna Jane wear...to Sell or Not to Sell?

Yesterday, I had all but decided to sell my Lorna Jane wear. I only have 3 (gym wear) pieces, and I bought them specifically for my photo shoot back in January. So they're only a couple of months old.

So why did I want to sell them? Well...to be honest, probably the main reason I wanted to sell them is because I feel a little self-conscious in them, especially wearing them in the gym... which I've only done once BTW. Self-conscious in the sense that I might look good in them. Sounds strange doesn't it? You dream of being able to wear this gear and flaunt the fact that you can wear it, and then when the day finally arrives, you feel uncomfortable because people are staring at you (especially the guys), and they're not necessarily staring at your muscles I don't think (picture doing tricep kickbacks, bent over on the bench...get my drift?).

In the context of things, it's no big deal, so why do I make such a big deal out of it? I've seen alot of women wearing alot less (in the way of material), and showing alot more (in the way of flesh), and they didn't necessarily have Elle Macpherson's body type...ya know?...muffin tops, cellulite city wearing white lycra tights with g-strings and sporting legs like tree trunks (not being horrible or anything, but it's true!), etc...ya know?...stuff you see and you just shake your head and ask yourself "why?".

So there...that's how I feel about it.

Anyway...asked my hubby to take pics this morning so I could post my LJ gear up on the blog and forum to see if I could sell them, as I didn't think I'd have any trouble selling them. When I told him why I wanted the pics taken he asked why was I selling them. I told him, and you know what he said (to my surprise)..."Kerry, why don't you wear it to the gym? I've seen other women in worse gear (he has a hard time sometimes speaking in the positive). What are you worried about?" To which I replied, "Doesn't it worry you that I could be wearing this stuff and the guys are looking at my butt?". To which he replied, "No...I'm not at the gym while you're training. And besides, you wear short skirts out in public and I don't worry about that, do I?" (he personally likes seeing me in my short denim skirt).

So...I've decided NOT TO SELL (sorry, anybody who was ringing their hands in anticipation, cause I was going to sell them at 50% off!). So inspired was I by hubby's comments (he added some more positive comments which I can't repeat), that I've decided to wear my LJ gear tonight! Not such a sweaty session - upper body and a little cardio.

Ciao for now...Kerry :)

P.S. I won't be the wearing the crop top to the gym, unless it's under a shirt.
