Casual Me

I've always liked clothes.  I've always liked bargains.  Always.  However, I haven't always been the type to dress up.  My desire to put things together that do not involve denim only happened when I could no longer wear it every day.  Even when jeans were not within dress-code, I could find denim-y ways to get around it such as jean skirts, dresses, jumpers, blazers...I even had a pair of denim boots once.  I thought they were cool much longer than anyone else did.

My wardrobe and style has evolved by necessity, not necessarily want, but probably that too.  Now I have so few casual clothes I find it difficult to dress down even when I can...which is pretty much Saturday only.  Sure, I can wear jeans on casual Friday and Sunday.  But hats and tees are likely too casual for any day at the office and barely appropriate for church.

I spent most of the day Saturday in my bath robe.  Sometimes no plans are the best plans, true?  All by my lonesome and nowhere to go, I watched Breakfast at Tiffany's including all of the DVD extras and Bewitched (the movie with Nicole Kidman).  It crossed my mind to do some laundry and re-fold the clothes in my closet since I'm having a hard time finding anything in there lately.  But no.  Lazy days don't come along all too often so heck, I'm going to take full advantage of it.

Steve came home from playing disc golf late afternoon just as I was trading in the robe for some actual clothes.  He said he wanted to take me on a date.  My only stipulation was that I would be able to stay casual in my jeans, tee, and hat.  After trying two bowling alleys with 2 hour waiting lists, we ended up killing time at Target.  No complaints from me.  Picked up a few clearance items for Steve and bumped into a friend (hi LaNae!).   We ended the night at the theater seeing Up in the Air.  SUCH a great movie.  George Clooney is so dreamy.  Love him.  It's rated R for (brief) nudity and some language (for my sensitive readers).  Overall, I thought it was great.  I even stayed awake the entire time!
