I’ve been following along with a style challenge this month organized by Dressing Dawn. Why bother? Hell, I don’t know. Because there’s a pandemic and my entertainment options are limited. I spent spring and summer naming all the bunnies in my neighborhood, but now Daisy and Peanut are hibernating and I need something else to do.

One of the challenge prompts was “this is so me.” So I put on some stripes, some (faux) leather, a bright color, and feminine shoes. And it was so so me that I decided to take photos on a real camera and preserve them here for posterity.

If you were going to put on an outfit that was “so you,” what would it include? Try it out tomorrow and see if it improves your mood.

If it’s still warm where you are, this is just an idea of what to wear tomorrow. But, add some pom-poms and this is also a guide to being a 50s cheerleader for Halloween. (I did not wear this as a costume…I was just born in the wrong era and gravitate toward retro styles.)

Speaking of 50s costumes, if you don’t get queasy at bloody stuff, I highly recommend watching Ratched on Netflix – the fashion is to die for (pun intended…the bodies really pile up).
