Looking back on my recent selfies I see some ditsy florals (#2), some solid, loose neutral (#1), some bigger scale pattern (#4 - shavuot outfit) and some arms (#3), which I have become self conscious about.

Don't get me wrong, I think they look just fine in this photo, but are definitely showing various signs of age in other lights and angles. I am sure some of you know what I mean. Israelis, on the whole, are very un-self conscious about baring their bodies and I am trying to take inspiration by the very many arms of all sorts and ages I see in the shop all the time. But I do have other voices in my head that do not approve. Do you feel self-conscious about your arms (or legs or some other part)? Are you team cover up or get over it? I hope I do not offend anyone with this topic - the forum has helped me so much over the years embrace my aging self and I know some others go through these same struggles.

Thanks for looking and reading - any and all comments welcome, including just the clothes!
