Not a matter of life or death but serious (to me) none the less.  I have a beautiful fall top.  The background is tan/light brown with light rose colored leaves and a light rose colored FOX.  It's very much an Autumn shirt and I love it.  Most Autumn colored shirts are not colors I look best in but this one is different.  But feel self-conscience wear it.  The very first thing both my husband and daughter (seen for the first time separately) said is something to the effect of me being a "foxy" lady.  OMGosh!  In what world would I ever consider myself foxy???!!!  There's not one!  So now I'm embarrassed to wear this beautiful shirt in fear that I'm broadcasting to the world that I consider myself foxy   If you saw a woman with this shirt, would you think to yourself that she thinks she's "foxy"?  I've had the shirt since a season or two before Covid and have only worn it maybe 5 times.

IF YOU LOVE IT monicakm WEAR IT!

SOUNDS LIKE THEY WERE JUST TRYING TO BE FUNNY WITH THE FOX IN THE PRINT.

I AM SURE IT LOOKS AWESOME ON YOU!!!!!

No, it would not enter my mind that she was sending that message.

I've seen T-Shirts with a picture on the front of bear heads. wolf heads, dogs & others.

Your family members were just being silly.

They were teasing you, I'd probably say the same thing to a family member or friend but I'd never think the person wearing it thought they were foxy,

unless it actually said "Foxy Lady"

You probably do look foxy in it, though.

I have a gray sweater with a fox on it, and it would never occur to me about a "foxy lady." I think your family was trying to be funny. Don't worry about it and continue to wear the shirt if you like it so much. 

BTW, I don't worry about others' remarks. I have a pair of gold sequined sneakers which my husband doesn't like, but they're some of my favorite shoes, so I wear them frequently.

Thank you ladies.  No, it would never enter my mind that the wearer considered herself foxy LOL  But the seed of doubt was planted.  OK, I'm going to wear it and enjoy it.  I'll send a picture of it later.

No I would not think that! It would not enter my mind!

In fact, seeing those autumn colors as you are describing that top, I would be looking at those colors and enjoying the fact that autumn is here!

I don't know how old you are, but as you grow older you discover it doesn't matter what other people think ( especially strangers), you do what makes you feel happy. I devoted and wasted too much time being self conscious, now I don't care and guess what, people probably aren't paying attention to you.

I say wear it!  You love it, you enoy wearing it, so go for it!
