What Makes You Feel Sexy?

Do you have a favorite color or wardrobe item (that others can see!) That make you feel extra sexy and feminine? Is it a heel? A jewel? A lipstick? A Stocking? A neckline? A pointy toe shoe? A "misplaced" zipper? Could it be fancy nails or a bit of lace? Could it be something made of fur?

Not really feminine but my leather leggings definitely make me feel sexy.

It's a really fine perfume. No, no one can see it, but everyone can smell it. FYI, I never wear strong perfume to public places such as restaurants or the theater or movies. But very subtle fragrances add a note of provocation as you walk by. But it has to be very subtle or it's too much.

Honestly, I have not felt sexy in years. I wonder if it has anything g to do with menopause.

For me, it's body hugging jeans, skinny or boot cuts, with pointy toed high heels.

Exactly what Gracie said!

Long and sleek coats, fine beautiful fabrics, perfectly cut and shaped jackets, pants that skim but don't squeeze, wraps and surplice tops that highlight the curves I like best, deep-but not flashy-V neck tops, long bootcut jeans that create that long and lean leg line. Great question!

What Carter said, exactly!

Deb, I still feel feminine although I'm way past menopause. Not exactly sexy all the time, but sensual. I enjoy perfume, body oils, fine fabrics that feel voluptuous next to my skin, good music, flowers, good wine, good food, candlelight and, above all, intelligent conversation with good friends.

I would probably say heeled boots with a body-con pencil skirt.

Pretty matching bra and undie sets that fit! They can't be seen but knowing I have them on makes a difference. Also soft cashmere and silk fabrics that beg to be touched.

Hands down, my Google Glass. I've never gotten so many interested looks from young, attractive men. Oh wait, they're not looking at *me*??! Oh well.

Catnip, I often feel feminine, just not sexy.

Gaylene

Echoing Catnip and Joy. In my mid-sixties, it's all about sensuality and subtlety-- scent on my wrists and behind my ears, cashmere and silk next to my skin, pretty undies, taking good of my body and health, and, above all, the look in my husband's eye whenever I walk into a room.

These days, feeling sexy comes feeling alive, appreciated, and comfortable in my own skin, rather than a pair of stilettos.

Deb, who are we to judge. Whatever makes you happy is what's important!

Gaylene, I agree. I'm a widow so I don't have that daily appreciation, but we can all take care of ourselves. We can all make sure we are getting the right amount of pleasure from life. You're so right that it's not just about a pair of stilettos.

I think my skinny jeans and knee high boots make me feel sexiest. And my habitual high heels make me feel both sexy and feminine.

Not that anybody is around to notice!

A pencil skirt with a silk slip that no one can see but feel absolutely divine against my skin.

I don't like to feel sexy, alluring I can go for, like many above I feel my most alluring, freshly washed, moisturised skin, wearing soft fabrics in a fluid fit plus a light spritz of my favourite scent.

I would have to say that the support of my husband in my weight loss and this fashion blogging journey has done wonders for my feeling sexy. Dresses and skirts with heels, boots or booties. I just really perk up the sassiness with skirts, dresses and heels.. I really love being a woman and it's when I feel my most feminine energy...Although coated jeans and heels run a close second...

Karymk, what makes you feel alluring?

In my case it's healthy and shiny skin, pretty bra and panties (always matching), good hair day, and my scent that I spritz each morning. And for Greg - a tight black turtleneck.

They way my fellow looks at me and smiles even after I've had a bad day and have toque hair. :p

Gently body con clothing (sheath dress, pencil skirt, slim cut pants) and heels. In August I acquired my first leather jacket, and in November my second. I feel sexy every time I wear them.

My new Purple Big Bird sweater. It is soft, relaxed and comfortable...and everybody wants to touch me!

Being strong and active. So I don't really feel that way recently. :T Trying to get life back in order, though.

A good hair day goes a long way toward making me feel alluring. I'm also not so sure blatantly sexy is a thing for me. A great fitting pair of jeans and knee high boots rate high for me, too.

I feel most feminine and alluring when I am taking care of my health with good diet and exercise.

When I take the time to do a good natural makeup I feel really pretty, especially when i take the time to use a little taupe eye shadow and a pop of pink on my lips.

"Good' jewelry makes me feel spoiled and feminine. I love the jingle of my charm bracelet, the sparkle of my wedding rings, the feel of a little dangly earring swinging back and forth...

BF jeans and heels make me feel sexy, but it's ironic since my butt looks so lost in them!

menswear styles can make me feel really sexy: remember this buttoned up look? I felt like a femme fatale in it!

That's a fab photo Karymk. I think I feel sexy/alluring when I'm in knee high boots, as others have mentioned too. Something about boots makes one feel empowered and strong, which in turn creates confidence. There is nothing more sexy than a confident woman.

Kamyrk -- so interesting. I was going to say that menswear styles can make me feel alluring. I think it is the surprise of them. Especially if they are done in wonderful fabrics that feel good to touch.

But a form fitting sheath dress can also do the trick!

I also like pretty undies that match.

Healthy eating and exercise and enough fresh air.

And a great writing day.
