This is so stupid, but yesterday I was shopping and I saw this wild blouse and I thought-If I could dress how I really wanted to, I would buy that blouse. I walked away and was thinking-Why the hell shouldn't I dress how I want to? Because someone told me that orange paisley print is tacky? Prints are tacky? Those sleeves are not businesslike, not a conservative choice, my husband would think I became some raving hippie/democrat/lesbian??? Well, the hippie democrat part got me turning around and going straight back to the store to try on the top. It is SO me. I just love it. I am not a lesbian, but I am one well bathed hippie at heart! I am now the proud possessor of a very expensive polyester(OK that part I can find no justification for, but I still love it!) wrap around blouse with crazy puffy sleeves. And I did not even wait till it went on sale, much less clearance.
Why would I go through my life dressing like someone else thinks I should? Especially when most of the someone elses never even have MET me? The only people who really love me still will even if they hate the top, and the rest don't matter. Why do I do this to myself? Aaargh. Anyway, without religion, politics, marriage or other issues clouding me, I tend to make intersting clothing choices.
