I once heard a man say
Halloween is just an excuse for women to wear fishnets.
Well, I guess it is!
I know he meant to imply that the look is trashy
but that’s not how I see it.
If the holiday is the one day of the year
where I can be in public
in an outfit that makes me feel sexy,
and dressing that way doesn’t
make me a target,
isn’t used as an excuse
for men…
then I will embrace it.
Because fishnets make my legs look great.
They’re flexible, breathable, and strutable.
Maybe we don’t have to wait
until the end of October
to enjoy things like these.
Maybe we can get to a place
where no one will comment or judge
if I want to wear fishnets
on any other day.
