Saturday is usually reserved for jeans, tee shirts and more casual dress. My job requires a certain dress code. So for the weekends, I feel like I am entitled to a more laid back fashion choice. My work attire consist of skirts, pants, shirts, blouses, jackets, comfortable shoes(I stand on my feet for at least 2 hours of day) appropriate jewelry, purse to match. Applying vary sparse makeup(years ago, I gave up the ghost) but now, I am returning to partial body armour. You will never see out and about with pajama pants, looking raggedly, hair standing on end. It just won't happen. I might not have on the full war paint, but I will at least have on some lipstick and maybe so blush. The two things I will not leave the house is lipstick and earrings. Those are a must. I feel naked without them.
Today being Saturday, I dress with care in mind. I put on my jeans, white shirt, lipstick and a little blush and white kicks. In my mind, I knew what earrings I was going to wear. Since it has turned cold, I had my scarf to match my jacket and with a fashion twist, I was out the door. I ran my errands, and just happen to look at myself in a mirror, and I saw I had not earrings on. Nothing, no hook, no dangle, sparkle, nothing. Instantly, I felt vulnerable, small wanting to hide myself from the world, but my business in the street was not complete. I did what any grown women would do in this situation. I cursed, yelled, screamed, and threw a fit. The fact that this was going on inside my head, made no difference. How could I leave my house naked and exposed.. My ears uncovered for all the world to see. I make jewelry for god sake. I have endless choices. What was I thinking. All I do know that I was talking with my husband prior to leaving the house. It was him. He did this to me. I wish I could blame all this on him, but he had his own forgetting issues. This one I have to suck up alone. I expect the fashion police at my door any minute now. Pointing a finger and saying shame on you.
After my last stop for the day I rushed home. trying not to show my naked ears to the world. Once in the safety of my home, I immediately put on some earrings. The world was right again. The one accessory I cannot live without is earrings. I might miss the boat with other pieces of jewelry, but for me earring set the tone for the rest of grouping( In another post I will discuss my choice forgrouping). For now, I think I will have keep spare earrings in the car, purse, on the job,in the mailbox, at friends houses, certain stores, just in case of an emergency, You never know.
