What are you wearing today??

[Shangas]

When dad and I went out today, we were supposed to be shopping for formal, black leather shoes.

Instead, I came home wearing this...

Those trousers look excellent, Sproily :eusa_clap

Yesterday going to the Pigalle Club, was wearing a silk dress but changed my mind. Light blue dress with white bust and white peep toe slingbacks.

Garden-chores.

Hey Cat... you would fit right in at Monteagle! :eusa_clap
I wore my bibs today for garden work also.

I think all of us guys better lock up ourselves, if that kitten's out on the prowl...

This was actually a few weeks ago, but this is me and my boy at a friend's wedding. It was absolutely freezing!

We're to the right of the dragon!

You both look absolutely fantastic!

It was their anniversary, but unless he stopped to do the math in his head the number of years eluded him. No matter; it was the date that was important. He held in his hand a Ronson "Princess" lighter with her name inscribed on the front. He'd seen the look on her face when she discovered the little amber colored lighter in the department store. When he inquired the next day, they had informed him that engraving came free with the purchase. He ran his thumb over the metal surface of the silver art deco insert and felt the letters that spelled out the name of the only woman that he'd ever loved.

He'd kept his afternoon free of clients so that he could come home early to prepare for the evening. He'd made the same meal as that first night so many years ago. He'd lit the candles. He'd played the music that he knew was her favorite. Dinner was over and now it was late. The candles sputtered low in their holders, and he was dressed for the quiet evening to come. The three-piece double breasted blue suit that he wore on this date every year was now hanging in the closet, replaced by a similarly colored pair of pajamas: navy with a discreet diamond pattern and white piping. The maroon wingtips were tucked under the bed and his feet were now comfortable in a pair of navy house slippers. The navy socks were in the hamper, the silver cufflinks had been returned to the old cigar box, and the red brocade necktie hung with its fellows. Tied with a sash about his waist was his maroon silk dressing robe. The grey Jaxson fedora he'd worn during the day hung by a hook over the closet door, and he now wore a black wool derby to keep the evening chill off of his head.

She was long gone, lo these many years, but tradition is tradition and a date is a date, and he kept this one every year. It was only after she had packed and gone that he had found the old lighter hiding in a pocket of the blue suit. Looking at her name engraved on the lighter, he tipped his glass, the first of what would be many this night, and he spoke the words that he always spoke: "Here's to you, princess. I hope you found whatever it was that you went looking for."

There you go again, Slim--I think you have more talent than you realize! Y'know, if you just keep writing these little vignettes, eventually you might be able to use them as a "framework" and then just write transitions to string them into a complete story...

I am actually quite harmless. More prrr than grrr.

 

[MissHannah]

You are a total pussycat though Darhling!

And I love that blue dress - where was that from?

Well, if the shoe.. I mean dress fits! now that Tom Jones song is stuck in my head..

The blue dress, which is so comfortable in light cotton, is from Stop Staring! I wore it to the Pigalle Club where it got plenty of lovely compliments.

You of course is always epitome of chic! Did you see Cherry Lips pegged you as Dovima in the Look a like thread? I agree..

 

[Darhling]

Got an action shot from the dance.. I finally got the Elizabeth Taylor eyebrows perfect!

 

[cherry lips]

Stunning, classy and unique :eusa_clap

I think that a novel about a man who stops every three paragraphs to describe what he's wearing might have a very limited potential audience.

But still, I'm glad you like what I write here.
