Several weeks ago, I injured my ankle and have been nursing it back with limited success. The injury is severe enough that I've been wearing a gray plastic rigid brace for the past several weeks. I decided to include that in this note because wearing a brace and presenting a pulled-together confident look can present a challenge. Yesterday, after days of wearing one single pair of black flats built for comfort not style I couldn't take it any longer. I substituted a more flexible black elastic brace and slid my feet into a sandal with a bit of a heel.
I need to confess that it was a bad choice. My ankle didn't feel good throughout the day and neither did I. Needless to say, as a result, while I intended to be a bit more stylish and confident I achieved the opposite. I was uncomfortable in my clothes all day long.
Today, I'm back to less stylish flats and the rigid brace, and I feel better already. Lesson learned. Style extends to grace and confidence even when a body part it encased in rigid gray plastic!
