I spent a bit of time with a very old friend recently who says her favourite go to outfit is sweats and a turtleneck
I admire her for this
but I am too fluffy, too girlish and too in love with putting things together to be this solid an individual
I would shrivel up and die if I had to wear that every day
The first creative thing I do every day is get dressed- you may hate what I am wearing, you may find it comical, too young, too short, ugly, strange, shocking,weird
I dont care about that
it is not for you-it is for me
A guy I date showed up somewhere to surprise me and he said “hey you look nice and you did not even know you were going to see me”
“No offence, I said, ‘But I dress for me, not for you’
I come by it honestly- my mom is the same although we dress somewhat differently.Her idea of dressing down at the cottage is three inch heels and hosiery without control top. She is a woman of style through and through. She will stack wood and garden and clean this way. This is not me but I am darn impressed with it.
A few years ago she bought two pairs of the exact same high heeled shoes – one pair in yellow and one in hot pink. She wears these frequently- only one of each at a time. Now that is fun.
I would hate to live without this kind of fun
What about you? Do you love all the feminine bits of being a female or do you find it a pain in the butt?
Satin or sweats?
Yes Maria- I think if I had boys I would be even moreso! Gotta get a picture of my mom to you ASAP! Or at least her shoes!
Girly girl all the way! I find with having 2 boys I am even more so than ever too. I need to see a pic of your mom, she sounds truly awesome!
so awesome!!! Thanks for reading Annabelle!
Your mom sounds so awesome!
I’m am ALL about the sparkle and glitter….even my “sweats” have glitter. So girly girl all the way here!
Who are you INDEED?! Of course, since I know you to be a liar, will I require proof… *wink*
I have sweats…..BUT…you two will be impressed…I’m starting to embrace the feminine side. Today – I sit at my desk…in a shoulder exposing flashdancy sweater and yesterday I wore a dress. Oh yes I did. Who is this girl?
they are what I wore when I gained 15 beer and pizza soaked pounds in freshman year.
I often enjoy a more masculine edge when I get dressed, but it’s satin all the way, baby. I do so love me some baubles.
PS – what are these “sweats” you speak of? I have none of these. 😉
