I know this is an issue of confidence more than anything, but where do you draw the line at showing bits of skin that are not pretty?
I have terrible stretch marks all over my tummy and obviously I wouldn't venture out in something that showed them. But I also got them in puberty on the backs of my knees as I grew so fast. They've turned white/silver now so they're not purple or red but they are still visible. I've always covered up, worn tights or skirts that come well beneath them but now Summer is (hopefully) coming I have a dress that I want to wear but it comes above the knee. The thought of showing those stretch marks makes me really anxious. But at the same time, I think, they are just scars, I can't help them. But they are so ugly
So should I just accept that I will never be able to wear above the knee things? Or be brave and just go for it? I really really want you to be truthful, so if the answer is 'god no, put them away' do tell me anyway, I can take it And if anyone knows any way to disguise them, all the better
