I can’t even tell you how many times people ( especially other women) have told me, oh you wear heels?? Oh you wear dresses?? Seriously who started this stereotype that if a woman is adventurous and outdoorsy, it means she doesn’t do and love things like taking care of her skin, wearing makeup or heels or dresses. Guess what! You can love both or love none equally. You can wear heels and climbing shoes equally. They’re both as painful Did you ever get a comment like this?

In the caption, Ghida expresses her frustration regarding people’s questions on her fashion choices. As she is usually seen in sports and athletic wear, for some unapparent reason, people are shocked when she wears a dress and heels? 

Of course, I echo her frustrations. 

Just because you like one thing doesn’t mean that you can’t like another or have interest in seemingly conflicting subjects.

Surely it’s okay to wear whatever you want whenever you want, granted that you feel comfortable and confident.

As she rightly said, “You can love both or love one equally.” 

If you like climbing mountains by day and dressing up in heels and hitting the town at night, your interests are purely your own and you don’t owe anyone an explanation. 

Big thanks to Ghida for sharing her thoughts!
