dressing for heroism and suchlike

[anotheranon]

Feeling better today than yesterday - not hard, as my mood was at a pronounced low by recent standards. Turns out less food + less sleep + more caffeine = smoother running A. Non. Huh....

So, What do you wear that makes you feel powerful?

And I thought about it (whilst sitting here in my fencing whites), and came up with the following:

• Knee high boots always give me that super-badass Emma Peel feeling. Gotta be flat though - I like to have a firm grip on the ground.
  
• A well fitted corset - a PITA to get in and out of but the tight hold feels like armor.
  
• A tailored duster, because the structured shoulders and flaring skirt take up space, dramatically.
  
• A sword in hand never hurts ;)
  

Tangential, but not overly so: the Hero Machine but can't find a corset, dammit!

How do you dress when you want to feel powerful?

It depends on how I want to project power. For work-type situations, I put on the black suit, white shirt, and a tie that fits the occasion. Usually a red tie if I'm playing the power card.
