The feminist in me really wants to point out that this is a great example of how our societal expectations for women can be oppressive. Dinah, you seemed so much happier before you felt this pressure to conform to society's narrow rules about women's appearance, which were just not your style. By encouraging this conformity, your T is being an instrument of sexism, which is not helping you. I totally support you in presenting yourself however feels most comfortable to you. You've made your own style that is fabulous and suits you, even if it is unusual. Your husband and son don't seem to have an issue with it. We at babble love it. It's too bad that your T doesn't seem to fully appreciate it, but that is *his* limitation, not yours. IMHO, of course.
