Attitude

Clothes are our weapons,
our challenges,
our visible insults.

-Angela Carter

Of all the things you wear,
your expression is the most important.

-Janet Lane

Flies have noses! Big ol’ fleshy ones, in this guy’s case. He reminds me of Droopy Dog.

I’m a bit grumpy today, the sky is gloomy, rain in the forecast, and I am again, profoundly tired, and I’m so glad it’s Friday.

Cliche as it may seem, whenever I get down like this I like to dress up with some attitude. Fake it ’til you make it, as they say.

Today I am thinking some cowboy boots will give me swagger (I’ve never outgrown that childhood love of clunking around in noisy shoes), and maybe something flowy will take the edge off.

And a hat. Rainy days are a good excuse for a hat. I have a green cloche that is beckoning me.

Huh, I feel better already.

What I need is a swank umbrella that can take some abuse. Any suggestions?

What are you wearing today? Hopefully a smile on your face (a smirk will do!)
