Today is Monday, start of a new work week. I was on my way to office when I met the mum of my girl’s ex-school mate. Naturally we said “Hi”. At the same time, I can feel her looking me up and down and it makes me feel self-conscious. Ok, I wasn’t in my usual aunty garb of well-worn tee and 3/4 pants which I wear when I am doing my errands around the neighbourhood. Don’t get the wrong idea, I wasn’t wearing anything revealing or outrageous, just a simple plaid jumpsuits in blue.... a very short one. Finished off with a pair of loafers, a canvas bag and hint of pink lipstick. I admit, the getup is not typical of someone my age will be wearing. And yes, I am on my way to office. Our bosses are not exactly concern with what we wear to work as long as we are not in our pjs or birthday suites.When my kids were young and still needing me to chase after them, I wasn’t too bothered with what I wear. Now that they are less dependent, I am finally able to wear what I like. And what do I like to wear.... sundresses, short flirty skirts, hot pants and 2 inch heels! Oh my, how I miss the heels! I am also seeking dresses of various length in bright, cheery colours. I am more adventurous now in trying new styles. I once read on someone’s blog: “Wear confidence and everything else will look good” So there.... I am wearing my confidence, not my age. It’s great to feel young.
