The suit the Madeline model is wearing epitomizes all the reasons I love female business attire. Feminine, smart, always fashionable, and appropriate for almost any occasion, this type of outfit works well on so many levels.
How did that cartoonist manage to watch me dress shopping?? But you know, Mikki is strong enough to persist. I used to try to be "invisible" but it wasn't satisfying or realistic. So I decided to take a "What the Hell" attitude and wear what I want and walk around "like I own the place". And when I did that Mikki discovered her confidence. I still pick my spots when I go out on my block to avoid a potential zillion questions from the kids in the neighborhood, but all their parents have seen Mikki. And, no, this isn't a paid commercial to get people to watch Stana's Zoom meeting. Ha!
Here's something I actually did: While trying on clothes at a Catherine's pre-CORONA this past January -- checking out post-holiday sales -- I put on a pretty bright dress, very bright, actually. I laughed at my image. Then I walked out into the store and asked the salesperson (She knows me as a regular customer) "Does this make me look like a crossdresser or a Drag Queen"? We both had a good laugh -- and I didn't buy the dress.

ReplyDeleteSally - I couldn't have said it better myself.
DeleteOTOH, I am crazy 'bout the lady in the tuxedo. I love my ladies black "tuxedo suit".
