Two choices:

Because my big excursion "died on the vine," I decided that Mandy should at least do a quickie one day trip to Delaware, to scope out the Amtrak station - which doesn't require a trip across the bridge to get there.  It could be very handy for reaching Washington DC if for some reason the bridge ties up...and it's possible that whatever train we were going to ride from the airport to DC, would be coming from Wilmington.

I decided on two eligible outfits for Mandy to wear...the first (below) was my gray skort:

It's a bit heavier in weight, more like an autumn-weight garment.  Thus it would probably be too warm, especially since I planned to wear pantyhose.   The second option was my red paisley skirt, which I've liked since adding it to my wardrobe.

Needless to say, my red paisley skirt won the contest - based on its breeziness and comfort!   And my low heels, of course...

After a good close shave and makeup application, I was off.   Through the entire day, in and out of stores, the car, and the Amtrak station, I did not notice attracting any attention at all.  My attire was not a concern for anyone.  Even sales clerks.  Though I was one of the few women in skirts.  But all in all, the day was very affirming...

And this now leaves the door open for another one-day adventure, before putting Mandy back in the suitcase once again...will let you know if and when I figure it out.
