Maybe I Should…

We had a conversation at work that started out as a joke, but then (to me, at least) turned a little more serious. A few people at work were joking around that they wanted to do a makeover on someone. They all settled on me. One person said that all I ever wear are jeans and T-shirts. They would love to see me dressed up, made-up and with my hair done. They kept on & on & on. I got a little upset because I do like to be in the spotlight but not when my perceived flaws are being pointed out. This morning I started thinking some more about it. Maybe I should. I’ve been so casual since I started working at MindSpring in 97 but I used to wear dressier clothes (still with denim as a base). I loved fashion before I got fat and I used to love to wear regular shoes, not sneakers. In fact, Bakers used to be my favorite place in the universe to buy shoes. Fall is coming & that is my favorite time of year fashion-wise. Maybe I should do it! I’m already getting my hair done today so maybe I should start showing an interest in putting forth a prettier me too. I always say it doesn’t matter because I’m married, but really that’s a dis-service to my husband. If he’s not important enough to put forth my best self for then really no one is. Sounds like I have talked myself into it, doesn’t it?
