First Day in the Real World

It's pretty easy to wear a "pajama" dress while hanging out at home, but today was the first day I would head out into public wearing a dress.  No big deal, right?  A lot of people wear dresses for work, fashion, religious reasons, so who would take note?  A few people did.





I guess I was a little hard to miss in my bright tangerine, vintage dress.  I found it a few months back at my local thrift store.  I LOVE this dress.  I love the collar, the length, and the color.  Since it's below zero, I felt the need to top it off with a sweater.  I felt warm and cheery on a very cold dreary day.

I did have one gentleman make a fuss about my attire.  He knows me well and so maybe his reaction was just out of surprise or shock.  I also had a friend of mine say that I looked cute, but followed it up with "you look like you live in Whooville".  Not sure if I looked as cheery as I felt or just silly.  Anyway, it was fun to dress up.  I am assuming the novelty of it will wear off.

I spent most of my morning running errands in Logan, so wearing a dress didn't make much of a difference, but coming home to take down the Christmas tree posed a few problems.  I had a hard time maneuvering around the tree like I would in pants and the branches snagged the heck out of my tights. Dang.....
