Talking About Dress

Talking About Dress

Will’s typical outfit is shorts, T-shirt, tennis shoes and baseball cap.

His wife has been doing a great job up dating his attire.

She has gotten him to wear Polo shirts with khaki pants.

Looks good, but he still has plenty of room to improve.

I was actually denied a job because of my dress.

The dress had a high neck and the skirt came over my knees

when I sat down. Only problem, the dress was sleeveless.

Seems the ‘Hard Shell’ religious group did not approve of


sleeveless dresses or Go Go boots. (Wasn’t wearing boots.)

I saved my boots for Missouri.

I was under the impression that people up ‘North’ would wear long skirts

in the winter. Long skirts were a lifesaver in Little Rock when the wind blew.

However, up north, boots and shorter skirts were the norm.

It is very difficult to climb over snow banks and drag a skirt that now has a

sopping wet hem.

My cousin Lou, had dressing for the cold down pat.

Her future husband picked her up for a date.

She was fully dressed from head to toe.

She ordered him to open the car door for her.

While he was complying, she pulled off her shoes, ran and jumped into the car.

Thus the necessity of him preparing the way.

Lou did not want to get her new shoes wet. She reasoned that her feet would clean but

she wasn’t so sure about the shoes.

Now when I taught first grade, I wore slacks a lot.

I opted for comfort and cover above style.

Teaching special education, I could again wear dresses. I believe that

teachers should dress professionally. I took to wearing only dresses.
