Not quite a poll, but opinions solicited

Topic: how clothing makes us feel. I was hanging laundry out on the line this morning and contemplating my over-alls. I feel sexy when I'm wearing my over-alls. When I put on some clothing that society, or even my social circle, would call 'sexy', I just feel fat, and not sexy at all. When I put on my riding clothes, i stand straighter, and have more self-confidence.

So what do different types of clothing do to you?

Corsets definitely make me feel sexy -- and also very ladylike, and able to enforce my personal bubble, which, sadly, I need to do while wearing them, because dudes who DON'T see women in corsets all the time seem to find them an irresistible temptation. Yes, I know that waist-hip curve is enticing. It's supposed to be. Look all you like but don't touch, idiot.

My Doc Martens make me feel competent.

High heels make me feel pretty and grown-up but they're not comfortable for extended walking, ugh.

Shelf-bra cami tops also make me feel sexy, whether or not they give me cleavage.

My leather jacket with all the band buttons makes me feel strong.

My black and white cotton kimono makes me feel sophisticated.

Oddly enough, a bandana or baseball cap on my head makes me feel usefully invisible.

Office clothes make me feel like a poser.
