After my last errand run “across the bridge,” the electronic device which had been repaired developed another issue, requiring that it be returned to the repair shop. And I had to pick up my shoes at the shoe shop, as well as pick up the 2 dresses which I had left with the seamstress for hemming. So, here we go again…
In the process, I found a much better cornfield location for my outfit changes – Far less traffic and great sight lines to alert me to visitors. There I changed into my new floral dress and my dark sandals, jewelry and a bit heavier makeup. Was able to wear my dress most of the day, till I got to the seamstress’s place. I had planned to simply stop by and show it to her. When I did, she loved it on me, and pointed out a couple seams in the back which needed taken in, so it would fit better. When she pinned it up, I agreed with her analysis. So I changed back to shorts and a blouse in her dressing room, and left my dress with her, which I’ll pick up on a future trip! Fortunately I had everyday clothes in the car, or I would have had to bring it back for alteration on the next trip over the bridge, thus missing possible chances to wear it.
Here are two views of me and my dress, taken in Annapolis just before alteration. I love it! So cool, floaty and comfortable! Not to mention feminine. I hope the one I just ordered (same maker, but in a different color, and at a better price) is just as easy to like!
Two young boys showed up before I was done taking pictures. They paid me no mind…just an old lady taking selfies.
After I left the seamstress’s place, for the rest of the day I was dressed in my everyday shorts, blouse and sandals. I enjoyed the sandals, and expect to keep up the momentum. At some point I’ll look back and be able to say I’ve been wearing them for X days, with no issues whatsoever.
Sandals definitely help add to my feminine allure…and today there were no cases of the dreaded S-word, with a number of uses of feminine forms of address. Including at the assisted living center where I dropped off a number of old train and travel magazines for the elderly residents to enjoy. The agent and a couple of residents addressed me as a female. YESSSSS!
On the way home, I dropped off my two altered dresses at the cleaner, so that when I eventually wear them, they’ll be fresh and clean…
More later…
