A Day Without Dress

Yeah, I have a closet full of clothes. Way too many clothes and shoes to boot, or should that be and shoes to boots! I have a lot of boots as well.
Clothes horse, that's me. Before I retired someone asked me what I was going to do with all my "pretty dresses."  I said I was going to be like June Cleaver and wear them around the house, including my pearls. Yes, I have pearls too. What can I say, I've always liked dressing up.

Now, here I am all retired and sometimes wearing my PJ's until late morning before changing into my "uniform." Wondering what my uniform is? Pair of jeans, or cords, and a turtleneck and inside jacket.

I used to love dressing up when I went to work. I considered it one of my own perks to me. Now, I have to learn to dress for being at home. I don't want to become one of those people that wear the same thing day in and day out. So, I will begin wearing my nice sweaters and slacks around the house when I don't plan on doing any "dirty work."  You might be thinking that's crazy talk, that I should save my good clothes for "events." However, events are few and far between, and styles change and I would like to wear out some of these clothes before they actually go out of style.

As for my shoes and my boots. Well, right now, since it's winter and all, the boots are coming in pretty handy, however, my feet are not interested in being stuffed into heels anymore, some of those might be going to charity. I'll keep a couple of black pairs of heels, just in case an "event"worth dressing up for happens to come along.

 Otherwise, if you happen to see me around town and I am in my  jeans and turtleneck, just know that I didn't consider grocery shopping a major event in my life, and I won't be sporting pearls or heels!
