I Wore a Controversial Outfit Last Night
A woman hated it and a man told me I was a beauty queen.
I haven’t lost all of my divorce trauma. I carry it with me. I’m still 20 pounds over my normal weight. It makes me conservative. I don’t wear some of the sassier outfits I used to wear.
Until last night.
I wore a sexier shirt.
Why? Not sure. Maybe I am feeling more like myself. Maybe I’ve lost a few more pounds. Maybe it’s dating. Maybe it’s whatever. Maybe I just miss wearing the fun outfits I used to wear.
I went to meet a group of people for my friend’s birthday.
We met in the restaurant/bar attached to my building.
I was walking toward the bathroom as an older woman in my building was leaving. I knew exactly what she was thinking. She’s not used to seeing me in a top like this.
“Are you trying to pick up a man tonight?” she asks.
“Nope,” I say.
“That top is trashy,” she says.
Okay, enough said. To be fair, it was not an outrageous top. There wasn’t any cleavage but it was a sexy top. It had a bare shoulder on one side and cut outs going down the arm on the other.
