Jeff---My arms are even more tanned. You know--holding the hose all day
will do that. Hot, searing sun--and me watering most of the day.
Sweating like a pig....Why do I curl my hair every morning, as I go to work,
when in a couple hours I will look like I got caught in the rain. ?????

There is nothing fashionable in my life or attire. OH--I do always wear earrings...
I, basically, live in grubbies--if I go to work--I wear nicer "grubbies'...
If I have to go to some "function"--I really freakk out as to what to wear.
I haave nice things--but those fit me about 25 years ago--NOT now.

There is NOT a skirt or a dress in my regular closet. I have a couple---but wearing
a dress means I have to wear hose and dress shoes. NOOOOO!!!!!!!!
I can look just as "nice" wearing a pair of nice slacks and a dressy top.

Since all my jobs since 1988 have had to do with gardening, greenhouses,
and taking care of plants in some way--that has become my life...

I have just gotten away from all the dress stuff... It is all socks and tennis shoes,
or Crocks (only at home)--no open heel, or toe allowed while at work.
Also--no sleevless tops--and no T-shirts.
We used to have to wear colored shirts, but I think they no longer mandate that.
How many women's tops have collars?

SO--No Fashion Police at my house... G.

This is in Sept. 2013--at our 58th HS Class reunions. Gonna have the 60th next month.
AAARRGGHHHHH---what shall I wear?????????

edited to say---"See my sun-tanned arms???"
