Summer fashion

[vanillafluffy]

GK got back to me with the pix she took when she was here last month. God knows I love her dearly, but I sure hope she never has to earn a living at fashion photography or portraiture, cos it is NOT her forte. Out of a half-dozen pix of me, this is the only one that's decent. It was taken on the walkway outside her motel room overlooking the pool.




The top is poly---a bit warm, but cute. The black skirt is my favorite---there's a little ruffle at the hem. The icon is a close-up of the tatt, if you're interested. My shoes are off because we spent the morning haunting Goodwill and my feet were killing me.

sbjb, this one's for you---



I TOLD you it was yellow.
(And that was indoors. In crappy light.)

I have a headband on in that shot---I'm due a trim. But thanks, it *is* one of the best cuts I've ever had.

I couldn't tell you the last time I wore hose, and I've had thick thighs for so long they're like leather---chub-rub isn't the problem it used to be.

Skirts? In Florida, eight months out of the year, dresses, skirts or shorts are the only sane option.

Skirts, etc., in FLA

Good point. I wonder how I'd fare, living in hotter climes. I don't do shorts, either - haven't the legs for them. We had a heat wave this year and I actually bought some capris.

Seriously, from the time we moved here (when I was 14) until my late 30s, I didn't do shorts. I'd had to wear them---mandatory!---for gym class for years before that, and hated it. I finally got to the point where I said to myself, "Self, who cares how fat your legs are? Roasting in long pants to cover them up---usually long *black* pants---is not going to make them any thinner or you any happier. Be comfortable. Wear shorts." So I did.

Cold weather? Real cold weather? I have become a real Floridian in that respect, IE when the temp goes below 50F, I get very indignant. Although I welcome 65F and below---at that point I can start trotting out things with long sleeves and jackets---I have an absurd number of jackets that may get worn 2-3 times each every year.
