Every so often I get a dressing idea that stays with me. This one involved putting together an outfit to go with an animal print top I recently purchased. The outfit idea required a pair of knee high boots and a (faux) leather skirt. The idea materialized into a pretty good day out the day before New Year's eve.
In view of the weather, I wore leggings, over a pair of tights my wife no longer needed (a story for another day), a coordinating top and ankle boots. The first stop was the nail salon -- a place I had not been since October 2019. The male tech --I always seem to get the male tech lately --did not bat an I and I chatted briefly with another customer at the dryer about how the year could not end soon enough.
I then went to a mall where I knew I could find a pair of boots in my size. Success, but no skirt. A trip to another nearby mall netted nice sweater dress and some new earrings but no skirt. That'll have to done online where no one is looking at your outfit.
In between, I spent about a half hour in a coffee bar for a quiet experience fully on display.
Not a bad day. Happy new year to all
