) and haven't had a lot of time for much of anything. I haven't hardly had time or opportunity to dress more than two or three times in the last few months. I have tried to at least read the postings...and welcome to all the new people....I will try and stop by and say hi in the new members area later this week.
So, Stormy suggested a few weeks ago that we get tickets to a new show in town called Hats -- based on the Red Hat Society and make a girsl night out....she has such good ideas sometimes. It was marvelous. We went and got pedicures and manicures that morning, did a little shopping for accessories, bought a new necklace and matching earrings (that I got to wear that night), a coupel new purses / handbags, then went home and got ready. I got to wear my simple little black (sleeveless, just above the knee) dress that I've had for a while (but never worn out) and since it was cool that night a simple red and plack jacket. Also new red shoes (very cool..stormy was jhealous) that I had found the day before. Stormy looked very nice as well in her black slacks, long black flowing jacket and black gold and white blouse.
We went down to the area hoping to get their early enough to shop (lots of shops and boutiques in the area) but no time since traffic was awful. So we got to the resturuant... a delightful italian place...food was to die for... and had a nice time, then went to the theater. Lots of women, mostly late 30s to 60s. We fit right in. Stormy said she was proud of me--I wasn't afraid to talk to the people around us (in my femme voice), and we all talked and laughed and girl talked before and after the play. Never had any doubts that I was blending and just another woman out for the evening!!
. The play by the way was a hoot!Side notes -- It was the most confidence dressed I have ever felt--it made a difference in my actions with others. Also, getting in and out of a car in a shorter dress and even sitting in a theater seat was a way different experience -- lots to remember....lol. You ggs out there....you have my respect for making it all look so easy to be that graceful all the time (or at least most of the time!). But I'm getting the hang of it!!!!
Going out shopping Thursday -- and then my next big thing is the Be-all in chicago...and golfing! I can hardly wait. Gotta buy a new top for that!
) Beauty Pagent, here in Roanoke later this summer. Although I have no problem going out to eat or movie or shopping, but this is a bit different. There will be thousands of people there and they are there to see beauty contestants and they will be "observing" everyone from that mind-set! It will be interesting to say the least!
I will dream and well, it is late and I am tired and, well, da da dat's all, folks!
