#365feministselfie: Week 21

Posted by Melissa McEwan at Thursday, May 23, 2019
I am participating once again in the #365feministselfie project, now in its sixth year. Here is a thread for others to share selfies and/or talk about the project, visibility generally, self-appreciation, and related topics. And also because I always just love seeing your splendid faces!

A few of my selfies over the last two weeks:

image of me in a full-length mirror, wearing grey-framed glasses, dark blue jeans, a white t-shirt, and a grey cardigan, with my hair pulled up into a bun on the top of my head
Probably the last chance I'll have to wear this sweater this year!

image of me from the shoulders up, wearing grey-framed glasses and a grey tank top, smiling
A thank-fuck-it's-Friday grin.

image of me standing in a full-length mirror, with my hair down, wearing black-framed glasses, a long black tunic, a pink skirt with a pattern of black insects on it, and black loafers
A honey bee in an insect skirt for her 45th birthday.

image of me from the shoulders up, with my hair down, wearing light makeup, black-framed glasses, and a black top
This is 45.

image of me standing in my garden from the shoulders up, wearing grey-framed glasses, a black and grey t-shirt, and a bright yellow and pinky-orange straw hat, the brim of which I'm lifting with my hand clad in a yellow gardening glove
Weeding and planting.

(And wearing a too-big hat that I carried in my hand all the way back from Puerto Rico, because I wore it all over and didn't want to leave it behind or smash it in my bag, and I'm glad I didn't, because it is a perfect gardening hat.)

image of me from mid-chest up, standing in front of an evergreen, wearing grey-framed glasses and my Mr. Celery t-shirt, pointing to a sticker on my chest reading 'I Voted'
I voted!

image of me standing in a full-length mirror, with my hair down, wearing grey-framed glasses, a blue blouse with a floral pattern, pink jeans, and white sneakers
'Twas a pink jeans day.

Please feel welcome and encouraged to share your own selfies in comments, or share your thoughts on the project, or solicit encouragement or advice, or do whatever else feels best for you to participate, if you are inclined to do so!
