Did some errands yesterday before work and as always in the classic clothes do feel more mature and special . Although it's harder dressing in the morning I am looking forward to dressing up every day when-if I ever get a Realtors license .Been noticing how people react to you in the type of clothes you wear . As I have said here the mini's always have the guys looking and smiling . These classic clothes produced there completely different reactions from three different kinds of people yesterday and it actually said more about them then me . Seeing me in the Pink cardigan and matching top with the grey skirt :
1.Had the security chief a ex -cop about 55 being all smiles saying how I look like the girls when he went to high school and he feels so young now . Then saying how it's a shame women don't dress up nowadays . Good point , then again he never had to put on make-up , shave his legs and suffer thru heels every day . Am glad I made him feel happy , was wondering if 30+years from now when men who I went to school see a younger woman in sweats or jeans they will get excited ? . As I walked down toward the locker room I was hearing him talk with a sales woman about his age about the long ago days of everyone getting dressed up and how like it was the law you could only wear this and that .........
2. Shirley and Megan from the front desk stopping and talking to me like I am one of there little clique of sorority girl types . If I come in wearing jeans or something like a long skirt in there own always polite but phony way they always keep it to a smile and a hello . In these classic clothes though they usually stop and talk like were old friends .One of my best friends at work is front desk manager but most of the women who work there are phonys who try to pass themselves off as being sophisticated and rich along with being completely focused on appearance . I think they see me in these kind of clothes and think I am one of them or have extra money to buy expensive looking clothes since am doing something they'd love to like having a affair a rich guest or corporation big shot . Oh well, nice to be liked by everyone I guess............
3, Jill a 19 year old restaurant waitress . Even I know more about looking good then her , she always has on several layers of make-up on we joke she applys with a paint brush & is usually comes in wearing skin tight spotted capri pants and orange mules . In the locker room stares at me with her red lined mouth open like I am a Maritain then giggles like she usually does with me or any of the other women who don't look like her. As I am taking off my sweater and she comes up and with this huge sarcastic smile on her face acting all surprised says " What kind of clothes are those , you sure dress weird ! " I smile back and my self sarcastically go " Hah Hah Hah Jill ! ". She should have dropped it but went on to scream out " OH MY F****** god " when I took the skirt off and she saw the garter belt and
stockings going " What are you wearing , oh S*** do you think your on the Playboy channel or something " She looked around expecting all the other women to be laffing or impressed but no one was . I just said " No dearie and you know you don't have to go the extra distance to say your so country with attitude " ( meaning a ignorant hick who is so stupid they think there smarter then everyone else ). She was startled and speechless and angry but still went back to her locker. One of the managers my friend Rosalind came in about then and we hugged so even a bird brain like Jill wudn't be saying anything after that . As Rosalind and I walked out we could here Jill in a real defensive sounding way say to someone " I'm not country my dad was rich ................" Rosalind shakes her head & chuckles telling me the other day Jill was going on in the cafeteria about being reincarnated and how she was babbling it was so unfair the cops locked one of her brothers up for weenie wanging (showing your gizmo ) .Any more nonsense from that fool Jill I will ask her if underneath all those layers of make-up if she's not really bin laden .............................
It's warm & wet here today . So a sleeveless v-neck sweater thats lite grey & a white shirt from the rummage sale along with a tan corduroy skirt and nude thigh tops . Also my old clogs (don't want to ruin my good ones in the rain ) with my rain slicker ......At work my penguin suit and orthies .
Alive in spite of myself and looking at the world .........
