Life's Too Short to Wear Ugly Clothes

Have you ever wondered what people talk about when they talk about you behind your back?  You know they do it.  I'm not saying that all the talk is bad.  They may actually be saying nice things about you.  But, somewhere, at some time someone has talked about you.  It has come to my attention that I dress up too much.  What does that even mean!?  I guess the talk could be worse (and at times I'm sure it has been) and I should even be flattered.  I love to dress up.  Period.  It makes me feel better on days when I'm feeling down.  It makes me stand a little taller than on days when I let my "downess" over take me and I succumb to lousy dressing.  I secretly wish I had lived when ladies wore hats and gloves and looked presentable at all times.  Isn't it a shame that a person is noticed for trying to look nice?  What has our society become?  Days of Casual Fridays in the workplace have caught up with us.  We've made EVERYday Casual Friday.  Several years ago, when I first heard the rumors of my dressing abilities I was embarrassed and self conscience about it.  Today I embrace it.  It is who I am.  It is something that I hope I never change about myself.  So if you happen to see me out and about looking anything less than stellar, you will know that I am having an "off" day.  So please be kind.
