I am not entirely sure that a velvet baseball hat is a thing to anyone else but me. That being said, it has rained constantly for the entire month so it’s nice to not fight for pretty hair in 85% humidity on a cold, rainy day off.
I love Johnny Was flowing tunics on any day because nobody knows if you’re fat, or so super fine that it’s best for your own safety to remain very well covered up. 🙂 Or at least that’s what I tell myself. I threw on a velvet bolero since it was cold – and before the heat strikes and velvets are put away until next year.
Most people throw on leggings and a tee of some kind on their day off but I just can’t do it. To just schlep though life on the daily is not my thing.I’m not quite so emotionally burdened that I typically find getting dressed to be a profound hardship. I’m not in gym mode this past year due to a neck issue that causes a sleep issue that causes an everything else issue, so leggings and gym clothes are put away lately.
Recently, away on a work trip flight, I noticed that roughly 30% of the rest of the female population travels in leggings with all of their frontal crotch area, and assets hanging out – good or bad. This is something that male friends discuss now and then, because most men think it’s insane that women wear sheer leggings as pants. I had to do a double take because I thought a woman was naked at The Golden Nugget two weeks ago, but instead…she had on skin colored leggings. Yes, I snapped a photo for proof. I am too decent to post it anywhere,though. I suppose my point is – that although I may not be typical, at least I am not naked with too-sheer leggings showing off my who-ha. So no judgments, please.
This was literally a “Hey, let’s grab brunch and go to the grocery store and please don’t take more than 20 minutes to get dressed” day. It’s not that serious.
fashion is fun. It’s art. Your choices tell the world who you are. Just as choosing to show your crotch to the world tells people that you are super proud of your crotch or that you do not realize that you have a crotch and you think nothing of it. Or do you think all crotches are equal and they should all be proudly displayed as such? There needs to be a study.
Really though, getting dressed and making choices is not rocket science. Just fun and comfort and individuality. Or not. The crotch exhibitionist thing is a case study all it’s own, but that aside, my biggest thing right now is lashes. I’m playing with my new lash line almost daily to try different looks and work on that business. Lashes with no makeup. Lashes with tons of makeup. Lashes with retro liner, progressive liner, no liner. Lashes, lashes, lashes.
As for clothing, fashion and style…I do start noticing more and more what older ladies in their 50’s or 60’s wear. At some point, life will pull me aside, sit me down and say, “Bitch please…put the heels away.” Not yet though.

Easy Date

I am an easy date. I had been off all day running errands, but we had scheduled time together for a quick dinner out and a movie. We have a new favorite theater close to home, which has those reclining seats so we are super jazzed to go to the movies now more than ever.
There is a salad I love, at a restaurant he never wants to go to, so I offered to pay for dinner to make the prospect more attractive. (Just a life lesson here…men absolutely love it when a woman offers to pay for something here or there. They melt.)
Which brings me to the big event near the end of our movie date. No, not that big event. Throughout the movie, there was a girl next to my husband, who was clearly not that into the guy who brought her. She was literally texting some other dude on her phone the entire time.
Ten minutes before the film is over, her date curses her loudly, threw her purse and phone down as he ran out of the theater calling her terrible names. All of which were probably accurate. My husband helped her pick up her MAC makeup that was all on the ground at our feet, before she left. She had a sheepish look on her face as if…oh crap, he caught me, this is super embarrassing.
As we left the theater a few minutes later, I’d looked around to offer her a ride, but then decided that the guy she was texting throughout the movie needed to come pick her up.
Back to me. I’m an easy date for my husband. Females do not really think enough about how much a simple movie and dinner night out costs these days. My husband and I are so glad to not be part of the single universe. I know men hate it. My male friends…yes, even the rich ones constantly bitch about how expensive it is to date these days. And they really hate it when the woman doesn’t think twice about the cost.
I literally got ready for my date in 25 minutes. In and out of the tub, throw on a black Johnny Was Tunic and pretend it’s a dress, a scarf to look like effort was applied, and the coolest new Uggs that will be a staple this winter because they are so comfortable. My mean work peeps are like, “…but there’s maroon fur stuff on them” and I’m like “I will deal with it for the comfort factor.” I’d come across them at Nordstrom Rack and decided they were wonderful.
I love my life right now. I love my husband right now. We both are so happy which is kind of scary because you don’t want anything to happen to mess it up. I tell young people all the time, that you do not know what love is. You can’t. You think a crumb of cake is exciting until you have an entire cake. Until you have an entire cake, you don’t know that a crumb is just a crumb.
A female friend of mine that’s almost 60, and about to get married again, after divorce and grown children recently said, “I have literally never been so in love and happy.” This confirms my belief that we don’t know as much when we’re young. Generally speaking.
We left our movie date telling each other how much easier life is to not have to deal with dating people and hoping to come across a decent person. He then calls me an Easy Date which I can assume has a lot of different meanings.
