clothes and dressing

so as part of my dyspraxia there are a few things im uncomfortable with - my sence of touch, Is I gues heightend, so i always hated wearing tight clothes,especially anything which had high necks, so scarfs, neck chockers,short chained necklasses long sleeved clothes or skinny jeans were and still in part are TORTURE!! I mean, not litterally, but I have to fight the urge to claw off anything which is too tight!
This makes clothe buying a challenge, especialy with all the fasions on tight clothes last year. consiquently im not a strong follower of fashion, but im trying harder now to make an effort on my appearance (soo boring!) im not a tom boy, but im not a girly girl either. and as i think i said before - i hate socks!

generally the dislike of tight clothes from my reaserch, and conversations with others, is quite common especially with younger children, and i find my angsiety, for thats what it is for me as well as discomfort, over tight clothes is lessening as i get older -providing my clothes streach of course

Big no,no's on my list include :
Tights - could their be a more tght fitting item of clothing?
anything that is tight, or clinging to my waist/stomach area
socks - if i dont have 2 wear them - off they will come!
Scarfs - TORTURE!!!
anything touching anywear near the reagin where my adams apple resides.. or wht ever its cald when you are female...
Long sleve tops - in part because of the tightnes ,eek, but a little to do with the exmae on the inside of my elbows
leggings - ive worn these a few times and im warming up to them, but if i was a few years younger, theres no way i would have worn them

My FAVE CLOTHES:
Anything baggy or loose
if its not in permanent contact with my skin, its a god send. the weather today is suny , if a little cold meaning i can wear less clothing
Skirts - althoug its been pointed out i dont sit in the most feminine of ways,  so these stay at home mostly
Flowng dresses  - the kind which are close, but not restrictive - anything which prevents movement is a no!
Shorts - specifically board shorts, im no surfer, i tried once and it was fun, they arent a fassion statement, just extreeemly comfortable
Baggy trousers -  joggers 3 quarter lenghs,material  ones are lovely - sadly i cant wear these as much as i like with my friends as i would be labeld a chav, r frumpy .. grrr fasion s an inconvienience, but when you're trying to fit in and feel omfey, i found the best mid point to be jeens - still not 2 tight, but makes it look like youve made an effort . even if the fasion has changed to wearing leggings with EVERYTHING,  wont be doing that anytime soon

so those are the clothes i like most.colours no big thing, its comfort , both on my skin, and in outward apperance. but it doesnt matter how good the item makes me look, if i cant stand the feel of it on my skin - out it goes!

Its not just how tight clothes are, but how they feel, i have no idea if this is to do with dyspraxia or not, but if its made of wool, n way am i wearing it!

i have to stick with cotton for the most, i hate the feeling of anything lacy - bad luck for whoever my soulmate turns out to be, but being them (who ever they are) i believe they will find  me beautiful, without having to wera lacy dreses poofy skirts with netting underlay or anything like that .


Dressing :
 oh now thats been great fun all my life (heavy sarcasm)
part of dyspraxia as ive said before is difficulty controling your muscles/ body movments - PAIN
so when it came to clothes,well buttons and shoelaces proved a problem, and buttons are still a bit too fiddly for my liking. i stuck with velcro for as long as i could growing up.


oh heels,what a wonderously evil invention, sorry to alianete you guys
but seriously! as a growing female, if i'm expected to dress up, heels are beoming more and more of an expectation, and it realy is a balancing act - and doing them up is a battle in itself

I actually got dressed for work one day, and didn't notice until 3 hours in that my shirt was inside out, and that id gotten half way through removing my pj top before forgetting what i was doing, so walked arround work for half of my shift with my pj top arround my waist, luckily it wasn't visible as i was wearing a work given jacket , but it gave us all something to laugh about
