Um, yeah and not to be snarky, but I'd have said well so what issues do people with messy offices have?One therapist really ragged on my appearance in general ("mannish"), and bubbled praise when she approved of specifics. She'd probably approve of how I dress now, but mannerisms and gestures and posture aren't so easy to change. There are women who look womanly in dungarees and fleece, and even in a drapey wrap top I still have my gruff manner.
I'm about to make a fleece jacket for myself for hiking, and I'm torn between two patterns. One semi-fitted, with shoulder seams at the shoulders, the other baggy with drop shoulders. I hope I don't let some therapist's comments affect my own personal decisions like this one, and Dinah I hope that you don't, either.
