I Can Finally Wear a Dress Again

I have quite a few skirts and nice dresses that Gerard has bought for me in the past but I quit wearing because I just couldn’t find any comfortable shoes to wear with them. I really don’t like dressing up, but at least wore a dress or skirt to church for years. Once I quit though, I got used to being comfortable on Sundays too! I haven’t worn a dress in probably three years at least, until last Sunday.

I decided that if I didn’t want to part with my skirts and dresses, then I should start wearing them again and getting some use out of them. So, I finally went to Lucky Shoes when we did our Christmas shopping and bought myself a pair. I was very impressed with the shoe saleswoman that actually brought several different shoes for me to try without an attitude. She was very helpful and even measured my feet. I am pleased to say that I wore them all morning without my feet hurting last Sunday! Next time I need shoes, it’s off to Lucky Shoes.

I figure it’s only fair that if Gerard gets dressed up for church in his suit, that I should dress up too. I got lots of compliments on my dress and always do because he really does have good taste in clothes.

So, another one of my resolutions for this year is to dress up for church on Sundays again. How often do you get dressed up? Do you have clothes hanging in your closet that you never wear? If so, maybe you should give some away.

My Top 10 fall fashion favorites (Writers Workshop)

Naturally, fall means football for us so I look forward to wearing my team sweatshirts and jackets. But you will be happy to know, I also have a few non-sports related items mixed in. The Winnie the Pooh Jacket was one of the best gifts I got from Gerard before we were married. In fact all these items were gifts from my husband, Gerard, except for two: one was from my cats (which Gerard did buy for them to give to me) and one from my mom. Can you guess which one was from my mom?

I’ll Wear White Pants If I Want To! (Writer’s Workshop)

My mom told me that it’s not proper to wear white pants before Memorial Day or after Labor Day. Huh? To me this is just goofy and I think it may even be an obsolete rule these days, I’m not really sure. I do know though that if it’s a warm day and I want to wear white pants, I will! Oh, what a rebel I am! I like wearing white pants very much because any shirt, blouse, sweater or jacket goes well with them and looks sharp as opposed to my purple pants. There just is not a whole lot of colors that you can wear with purple!

I’m one who follows the rules and so if this isn’t really a rule anymore, then too bad. It’s the only rule I can think of that I break. Do you follow this rule? What rule did you break?

This is in response to Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop prompt: “A rule I broke.”

We'd like you to stop by our Wife v. Husband Bedmaking post if you haven't yet to let us know how you make the bed.

Do You Like Any Of These Styles?

I could never be a fashion designed because usually whenever I see new styles, I think “ugh.” These are good examples that I saw in the PLAIN DEALER February 27 (for better pictures check out the actual article, At New York Fashion Week Techno Fabrics Morph Old Shapes Into Something New:

1) This dress looks like a Halloween costume for someone who wants to look like Cousin It from the Addams Family TV show.

2) This one makes me think of Star Trek.

3) This is the only I would want to wear at all but think it would be better in a brighter color. I don’t like this color at all!
