Before there was PolarTec and 800 fill-power Marmot ski jackets we all wore wool. Layers and layers of it. And boots. And we lived up on “the hill” so snow came earlier there and all the kids would make fun of us for wearing hats and boots.
Prom night. Sick as a dog with the flu. I didn’t want to go. I had a red and white striped diagonal gown with a halter top that made me look like a candy striper. I hesitate to describe my date but don’t think he can read anyway. He wore a baby blue velvet tux with dark blue lapels and a ruffled shirt. We stayed 1/2 hour and I asked him to take me home.
First year of college we had a semi-formal dance. All my wing-mates were wearing gowns and I didn’t have funds to get one so… candy striper came out once again. Little did I know that my wing-mates, we took a photo together instead of our dates, published it online!
I am most comfortable in jeans or workout pants, SmartWool socks, a nice tee shirt with polartec sweater if need be, and Crocs. That’s just the way the ball bounces these days.
Every time I get dressed up for a business affair for my husband he gets laid off the next day! So I’m not into clothes to impress. Just be comfortable, walk the dog, make my Beef Carbonnade (smells great) and be comfortable doing so.
If you’re following the series you’ll know there is no fashionable or sophisticated Dee, only me. Yes, I’m smart as looks fade but smarts last longer. Let me know if you want me to keep up this self-flagellating series or give my dog a blog. Dee
