The dress is gorgeous which is something you can't say about too many uniforms . It's a second skin , low cut bodice with the hem 2 inches above the knee . Everyone loves wearing them since they draw bigger tips and get you plenty of positive attention .Management says we always have to use the freight elevators when moving around but I started a tradition where when working a wedding or another big event we all parade in them thru the lobby which really draws alot of smiles, leers, and a few times even clapping from the guests , especially the men ! . No boss has said anything but "WOW" .........................

I see my little fashion thread is getting popular !
all ! Clothes never really mattered to me growing up , we were poor so there as no money to buy them so what was the point in being interested ? Chances are one of my sisters wud have stolen anything nice anyway . Besides all I really cared about was getting attention , getting high , and having a lover . My attitude toward clothes was pretty functional with about anything being good enough , except for some things meant to get me attention & many days I still do like dressing to draw attention . Then again like watching the tv news and knowing theres a bigger world out there do like dressing to express myself in another way too . It's fun !
Today in clothes from the rummage sale that make me look like a business travelers I see in the lobby at work on there way to the airport or this newspaper reporter who I saw covering a story : A navy blue blazer and white shirt that both have the original owners initials on there left brest pocket ( MKJ ) , jeans , and my best clogs that are blue . Also rounding it all out a simple gold chain , bikini briefs , and nude knee highs . Yesterday and sunday wore minis and while feeling very sexy and did get alot of affirming leers today's clothes make me feel smarter and more assertive . Tomorrow ( but only if I am in the mood to shave my legs ) a dress or skirt . It's getting warm and I have to wear all these mostly winter/fall clothes I had cleaned before spring hits ............
================================================================
Yesterdays combo of a blue blazer , white shirt and jeans was fun . I went over to a old friends for dinner and after she looked me up or down ( women are so catty ,I know she was chcking to see if I had put on any weight ) then laffed and said I looked lik Jenny Mc Lendon , a woman tv reporter here .Had a nice time having dinner and talking , made a post about it in the RELTIONSHIPS section . A real funny thing she mentioned was that a woman she works with up and quit to stay at home since she's so scared of catching the bird flu everyone is talking about .Good luck !
Yes I did shave my legs today so am going to get dressed up in the nice clothes from the rummage sale . It's a white cardigan sweater with a matching crew neck-short sleeve top .Both are genuine cashmere and a black knee length a-line skirt . Will wear my pearl necklace too . This out fit is so 1960's I should be wearing my seamed stockings ( have 2 pair I got in the origial boxes for $1 at Salvation Army store ) and heels . But will stick to nude thigh tops and my best clogs or black flats . Heels are my enemy ! At work will switch into my penguin suit bartender uniform ............
==========================================================================
Did break down ( at my gf's insistence ! ) and wore heels yesterday instead of the more sensible flats or clogs like I wanted . My honey told me how dressing up is getting to be a lost art and we spend to much time in sweats & jeans so maybe for a change go whole hog and lok fancy . So there I was in those heel things ( my taste for them went away after having to wear them 8-9 hours a day during the almost 4 years I was a cocktail waitress ) but I do have to admit they did go very well with the white cashmere top and black skirt .
We went over to one of the nicer malls in the in the metro area for lunch. Always funny going in there , at 13 I was arrested for shoplifting and at 15 posted ( banned ) at the place and now I am back as a semi-adult looking like Audrey Hepburn !! After lunch we walked around and my gf bought some books and sheets .I twas funny how the clerks all came right to me , seeing me in those expensive looking clothes .My gf booked for work but I hung around just walking round and people watching . By the time I got to the end of the mall my feet were hurting so I took the heels off and went barefoot back to the door I came in where my car was by . Just like when I was 13 however a security soon appeared ( he looked all of 18 which wud have made him 6 when the other security cracked us for shoplifting when I was 13 ) telling me to put my shoes back on . Going by my rule of never arguing with any authority figure ( even though he was 7 years younger then me ! ) I smiled and did what he commanded . Then after walking away turned around to see him giving directions to a group of I think Japanese tourists I took my shoes off again and made it to the exit . On thew way some yuppettes trapped in their heels looked at me and smiled/ nodded approvingly . With one saying out loud " She has the right idea " with her taking heel things off followed by a laffing friend who was doing the same . Whew!!!! I am such a sociopath and trouble maker ( or a feminist super-heroine leading the war against heels ) going into my second generation of being in trouble with the security there ! At work wore a restaurant waitress uniform for a change . Got several jokes from customers like " I'll have a Bourbon on the rocks and a grilled cheese sandwich " and " A pitcher of Heineken and also some catsup " Hah hah hah ............ :roll:
Today more clothes from the rummage sale . The plan was to wear this grey pleated mini but it's too windy for that . So instead in it will be this loden green jumper with a yellow turtleneck .The dress is almost knee length so there should be no risk of having the wind having me accidentally perform a game of " show & tell " .Partys , bars ,and concert are the places for that !!!
Along with a pair of lite brown garter stockings and my regular brown clogs that for the first time ever I shined today and they look good . At work probably my penguin suit and orthies .
======================================================
It's friday ! The week-end for most but I still have to work . The lot of a bartender ! still the excitement of the week-end is like av irus and makes me happy . And fridays are great for tips , tonite should be too . Work a corporate thing , the hosts usually are generous . Esecially when like tonite there defense contractors and can pass the cost on to the American taxpayer . The jumper and clogs looked good yesterday . It's becoming a real nice daily event when I come in for the security to say some thing complimentary about how I look or just leer . The same with the straight guys who pass me , even some of the gay guys who have better fashion sense then I do have said nice things ..Before I came in I went by the Wal-Mart to get boxes for our upcoming move . I should make a post about boxes , with this collecting of them I am getting to be a expert on them . Did find out for the millionth time wearing a dress and loading boxes (even when they are empty like yesterday ) don't mix. Best to do that in pants since you are always bending over and stretching to pick things up and cram them int the car .
It all brought back memorys of when the work uniform was this real sleazy but fun to wear faux leather mini . Bartending in it was allright and brought in good tips . Then again when ever we'd have to bring in boxes of stock and carry then round the bar it could get revealing , show and tell tonite ! . I never really minded putting on a show since the attention was nice and it also brought in bigger tips but some of the lewd comments from 50 year old guys with more hair coming out of there ears then on there head could get annoying .
Today another classy outfit from the rummage sale . A short sleeve v-neck sweater thats red , white blouse , and knee length skirt thats white with large red checks . Also this gold chain or maybe leather band on my ankle , nude thigh tops and ,my best clogs . Look like I am a model in the Talbots catalog !
=========================================================
Was prettty sloppy all week-end in jeans . Although wish I had worn a skirt on saturday since we ended up going to a huge queer party we were at almost all nite . Got a little sleazy & wild with some of the women even going topless at a party within a party on the second floor
.I was modest and kept top on , am I getting old ? :shock:
Nothing special today . Just a black turtle neck , long ankle length dark brown paisly granny skirt ,along with my brown boots . Also bikini briefs and barelegged . Tomorrow maybe something classy or short . Infact depending on my mood may dress alternately classy then "come hither look " as a freind calls it when she's in something short the rest of the week .
Should be fun & have alot of people talking trying to figure me out...............
===========================================
In the black turtle neck and long granny skirt yesterday I looked like the people who work at bookstores who always seem to look or at least act smart , being especially deep like they see more things in life then the rest of us do . Also looked like some of the teachers and graduate students at my gf's college who all appear to be smarter then most . A good accesory for this outfit wud be a laptop computer .Maybe thats why I came home and with a coffe mug full of curled up in chair thinking about things .
It's getting warm so have to get all the wear out of the winter clothes from the rummage sale I can . So today in the navy blue crew neck sweater, white shirt , & charcoal grey skirt . Also nude pantyhose( sans undies) and my best clogs. To show some individuality a leather band on my left ankle , we also use them as kind of a wedding ring .In these clothes instead of thinking about life I may go & test drive a BMW or hit a art gallery and act like I know something about art ...........
=========================================================
Felt very prosperous and upper class yesterday in the navy blue turtle neck and charcoal grey skirt . I swear the better dressed you are the nicer people are to you .At least sales clerks who think you have money to spend . I did errands ( although in these clothes being in a BMW or RANGE ROVER wud have gone better with the clothes then my old Toyota , does anyone think someone ever bought a car to go with there style of clothes ? ) then went over to my gf's college to see her . She goes to school 4 days a week and works full time from 3pm-11pm . We had a early lunch then went back to the table she usually studys at . While she read up on nursing and making pharmaceuticals ( the kind you get from the pharmacist , not you friendly neighborhood dealer ) I did bills and read up on real estate . It's easy to concentrate on things like that in a library without the distractions of the phone & tv .
After she left for work I hung around the library for awhile . There real interesting places I'm finding , alot to see & do . The students look so serious and are so hard working with there laptops and notebooks . Although I laffed since the cafe there was like a singles bar . I was all over the place , including looking at old photos of the city & state ,sliding barefoot down a long hallway like it was a sheet of ice giggling all the way , got hit on by some academic type digging up old prison records from the 1940's for a report ( should have hung around him if only to find the names of some of my people who I know were guests of the state back then !) , and was on the computer . At about 5pm when people began filtering out for dinner and I had to meet a old friend I remembered I had left my purse , coat ,and even clogs several floors up where my gf had been studying . All worried they'd been ripped of I ran back and to my amazement they were all still there . Guess studying and stealing don't go together ...........
Today in more clothes from the rummage sale . A pink cardigan sweater and matching crew neck top ......both cashmere , along with a lite grey knee length pleated skirt . The foundation garments are nude garter stockings from the same sale along with a flesh tone cami and matching undies along with my clogs . At work will wear the black cocktail waitress dress and my black flats .
========================================================================
Did some errands yesterday before work and as always in the classic clothes do feel more mature and special . Although it's harder dressing in the morning I am looking forward to dressing up every day when-if I ever get a Realtors license .Been noticing how people react to you in the type of clothes you wear . As I have said here the mini's always have the guys looking and smiling . These classic clothes produced there completely different reactions from three different kinds of people yesterday and it actually said more about them then me . Seeing me in the Pink cardigan and matching top with the grey skirt :
1.Had the security chief a ex -cop about 55 being all smiles saying how I look like the girls when he went to high school and he feels so young now . Then saying how it's a shame women don't dress up nowadays . Good point , then again he never had to put on make-up , shave his legs and suffer thru heels every day . Am glad I made him feel happy , was wondering if 30+years from now when men who I went to school see a younger woman in sweats or jeans they will get excited ? . As I walked down toward the locker room I was hearing him talk with a sales woman about his age about the long ago days of everyone getting dressed up and how like it was the law you could only wear this and that .........
2. Shirley and Megan from the front desk stopping and talking to me like I am one of there little clique of sorority girl types . If I come in wearing jeans or something like a long skirt in there own always polite but phony way they always keep it to a smile and a hello . In these classic clothes though they usually stop and talk like were old friends .One of my best friends at work is front desk manager but most of the women who work there are phonys who try to pass themselves off as being sophisticated and rich along with being completely focused on appearance . I think they see me in these kind of clothes and think I am one of them or have extra money to buy expensive looking clothes since am doing something they'd love to like having a affair a rich guest or corporation big shot . Oh well, nice to be liked by everyone I guess............
3, Jill a 19 year old restaurant waitress . Even I know more about looking good then her , she always has on several layers of make-up on we joke she applys with a paint brush & is usually comes in wearing skin tight spotted capri pants and orange mules . In the locker room stares at me with her red lined mouth open like I am a Maritain then giggles like she usually does with me or any of the other women who don't look like her. As I am taking off my sweater and she comes up and with this huge sarcastic smile on her face acting all surprised says " What kind of clothes are those , you sure dress weird ! " I smile back and my self sarcastically go " Hah Hah Hah Jill ! ". She should have dropped it but went on to scream out " OH MY F****** god " when I took the skirt off and she saw the garter belt and stockings going " What are you wearing , oh S*** do you think your on the Playboy channel or something " She looked around expecting all the other women to be laffing or impressed but no one was . I just said " No dearie and you know you don't have to go the extra distance to say your so country with attitude " ( meaning a ignorant hick who is so stupid they think there smarter then everyone else ). She was startled and speechless and angry but still went back to her locker. One of the managers my friend Rosalind came in about then and we hugged so even a bird brain like Jill wudn't be saying anything after that . As Rosalind and I walked out we could here Jill in a real defensive sounding way say to someone " I'm not country my dad was rich ................" Rosalind shakes her head & chuckles telling me the other day Jill was going on in the cafeteria about being reincarnated and how she was babbling it was so unfair the cops locked one of her brothers up for weenie wanging (showing your gizmo ) .Any more nonsense from that fool Jill I will ask her if underneath all those layers of make-up if she's not really bin laden .............................
It's warm & wet here today . So a sleeveless v-neck sweater thats lite grey & a white shirt from the rummage sale along with a tan corduroy skirt and nude thigh tops . Also my old clogs (don't want to ruin my good ones in the rain ) with my rain slicker ......At work my penguin suit and orthies .
==============================================================================
I went for a long walk around our UMC neighborhood yesterday in my red rain slicker and the corduroy skirt in the rain . The coat is great and kept me dry , has a hood and comes to my knees . Tried thinking about life but ended up just enjoying the walk .After seing myself in the lite toned clothes did come to the conclusion for the 1,000 th time that in lite clothes I feel fresh and wholesome and in darker especially black clothes I feel more sophisticated . Used to wear a black turtle neck and white mini that clashed in light of my my moods when wearing those colors . Probably had me drinking more to deal with the contradictions inside my head.......... !
This is a great suburb to walk around in , America at it's best really it seems .Everyone seems to have money and life looks sweet & easy like in the movies . Lost track of all the thin 30'ish women in designer sweats driving SUV's along with both women and men in the classy yellow and black North Face jackets . You UK'ers will like knowing saw some 40'ish guy in a Barbour coat too , he looked prosperous . At one bagel place in the nice sweater and tan corduroy skirt I fit in with the people from the financial services company from next door there for lunch , good though no one asked me for any financial advice about stocks and bonds though since I know nothing about them .
Was planning on wearing this navy blue jumper that has a cute pleated skirt or a black turtleneck dress from the rummage sale but caught a cold/flu yesterday . So I am in no mood to shave and dress up . At present in a old light blue t shirt and badly ripped up cut -off s that I think wud get me arrested for indecent exposure in if I went outside in them . Don't know if I will even make it into work since am feeling worse by the minute . If it's any consellation my gf went to school today in her navy blue skirt suit & black heels since she has to talk to a scholarship committee for some tutition money .
===============================================================
Went in sick last nite in just a blue turtle neck and tan cargo pants . Also bikini briefs and black socks . NO energy to get dressed up . At work my black vest and pants with a white blouse that makes me look like a penguin . Today pretty much the same . A old red turtle neck and jeans along with the penguin suit at work . Am better then yesterday but still feel like road kill.At one point last nite I stood there sweating , sore , and with a growling belly looking at the beautiful cocktail waitresses looking especially great in there sexxy second skin black dresses and felt like doog poop in comparison ........
