Not sure of the occasion...

...but I couldn"t help noticing a bevy (probably about 15) of attractive young ladies at a historic site as I was traveling in the south a few days back.  Not sure what was the occasion for such attire at lunchtime, but temperatures in the 90''s might have had something to do with it...

 

  

And I was more than a bit jealous of their cute micro-dresses and heels, while I was "stuck" standing there in a casual blouse, capris and my new sandals.  One of their outfits would be so much more stylish, fun to wear, and much cooler, too! (And those pink heels were adorable!)

If I could, I'd be dressed like that, too!  Perhaps someday...

Hugs,

PS: Two things we all had in common: cameras...and, you guessed it: white toe nails! (I may have had my picture taken as I passed by them!)

A comfortable everyday look...

I own several short-sleeve dresses of this style, which are my everyday wear around the house.  Wifey likes to see these new sandals with them...   My dress (and sandals) are clearly feminine, and casual enough to look nice, even while doing housework.   Family and friends have seen me dressed this way - they're used to it.  Others (deliverymen and the like) simply address me as "Miss" or "Ma'am." 

 

For now, I wouldn't want it any other way!  But I hope that someday soon I'll be wearing dresses - long and short - full time.  They're so much prettier, and cooler, than shorts, capris or leggings!

Hugs,

A bit of a Blast From The Past!

This used to be my daily (as well as dressy) footwear all the time:

•  

Not any more!  Not even during cooler weather in the spring & fall.  Now, with my purchase of several pairs of cute sandals, these leggings and flats are spending their time "in the closet." All my closed shoes (with the exception of a pair of Keds (for walking on uneven surfaces) and long pants are out of circulation for the rest of the summer, and as much of autumn as possible.

Long live capris and sandals!  It's fun showing off my pedicures...and manicures!

Hugs,

Mandy

 

Amazing...

Since my new sandals arrived and I've been wearing them all-day, every day, with capris or womens' shorts, tunic blouses, smooth legs/arms, long hair and my long, feminine painted nails and purses, I haven't been addressed as "sir" even once. Mostly it's "Ma'aam" or "Miss."  Though sometimes they omit gender reference completely.  That's OK, too.  

And that extends to when Wifey and I are out together.  It's "ladies" or "folks" -  and "Ma'am" when addressing me.   I'm lovin' it!

Hugs,

Mandy
