Our girl, Trina
Swear that girl really needs a talkin' to. But how do you tell a forty-five year old woman, “No girl, Forever 21 doesn't look good on your wide ass. For real?” It's suppose to be fly. Instead she looks like a bird flapped out and tired. What do we say instead? “Hey girl, lookin' good. Sit down.”
This week's prompt: flapped. Join us.
The Officer In Charge of the office where I work is a woman who clearly wears the same kind of clothes she did in high school, back in the 70s. Guess what her obsession is, when it comes to all of us underlings? Appearance. It would be funny if it weren't so maddening.
ReplyDeleteWell, we have a dress code, too. I was told my jean-like jacket was out of dress code, but young women routinely wear sauge casings for slacks. Sadder is most think they are not only dressed appropriately but that the clothing is flattering. Has sausage ever looked chic to you?
ReplyDeleteStill this is about our girlfriends who have forgotten what their sexy really looks like.
Thanks.
This is a great slice of life! I don't like those sausage casing slacks either
ReplyDelete:-) I see you rise early like I do. You make me smile when you visit. Your story is wicked cool.
ReplyDeleteAs I got older, I asked my daughter (now 24) to never let me dress age-inappropriate. I've seen too many women of a certain age dress in clothing I wouldn't have let my teenage daughter out of the house wearing.
ReplyDeletesometimes women need a reminder about how old they are ;)
ReplyDeleteCarrie, I remember when I wanted to be older and dress like a woman, stylish like my mother. Now we have grown women wanting to dress like their daughters. I don't think we need to be dowdy or even conservative. I do think by your middle years you ought to know how to look good, stylish, funky, sexy or whatever without looking like you're desperately trying to be 20.
DeleteAck, my manners. Thank you.
Deleteohhhhh I like this - a lot! Girl!!! :) We women either tear each other up (needlessly) or bear each other up (fruitlessly). :) Well done.
