I'm A Backyard Fashion Don't!

       Hello Everybody! :-) Nothing special to talk about today...except sharing some nice photos of the backyard that hubby took yesterday...

    ...and interspersed in between the pictures, I'm gonna share a silly conversation hubby and I had this morning that got us giggling...once again...about how, fast and massively, the world is changing around us now that we're getting older.
     The conversation started because we were talking about how differently we dress now, versus a few years ago.

      He's needing a new pair of shoes again, and he was recounting how he used to love going shopping for shoes and ties, and how we used to make a day of it! I'd be strolling for dresses and "apparatuses" in one section of the store (bras for you non-girl types! LOL), while he was in the mens wear department, getting his "dapper" on! :-)
       Then we'd go out to eat! It was such fun...back in the day!...But now...UGH! Neither one of us have any desire to shop for anything (clothes-wise I mean)...not even online! And who wants to wear it after you've bought it anyway?! Especially when what's in the bag is 'apparatuses', steel-toe shoes, girdles, button-up shirts, panty-hose,...(wait! They don't wear those anymore.....the ashy-legged nuts!! LOL)...wool socks, and high-heeled shoes!!
      Although, the amount, and particular kinds of,...what my hubby calls..."accoutrements" has changed considerably over the years!...When I used to get dressed up, I was all about some nice make-up, nice-colored lipstick, straightened hair (with a little curl for good measure), a comfortable slip underneath, a nice flowy type skirt or dress, a silk scarf, a kitten-heel shoe, and a comfortable "strap-those-buns-in" device! ^_^
     But these days?! It's all about 'hanging everything you got'...out!....EVERYWHERE!!  The clothes are designed to hug your curves so people can see the size of your 'rump' (Really?! Do we need to see it ?! All the time?!).  And if you can't see it good enough by the huggy-type clothes, then they make sure you can see right through most of the thin fabrics when a light hits them!!

            And of course, now there's a huge industry of fake eyelashes, hair extensions, pony-tail clip-ons, glittery make-up and fingernail polish, 'ten foot pole' tall high heeled shoes and boots with chunky heels, and hoop earrings large enough for little dogs to jump through while you're walking!! LOL

     Oh Yeah! The world has changed!...Don't get me wrong...I'm not trying to tell other people how to dress! I barely wanna dress myself anymore! ^_^ But it's just something hubby and I were talking about this morning....as my "girls" (you 'girl' types will know what I mean! ^_^) were dancing around in a field of daisies, enjoying the freedom, and he was sitting on the bed sticking his finger through the hole in the front of his shoe! LOL

        I love my backyard.....and the symbolism it has for me this morning as I talk about this subject. :-) It's all free and easy.....it ain't got a 'stitch' on!....and it's just beautiful! :-)

        It does have color, and a few patches here and there though.....just like me and hubby! :-]
     Okay, I'm off!...gotta get back to work on a white scarf I laid down a few days ago, because of the rain.  And figure out what the next Giveaway is gonna be! :-) Any suggestions?!


Fashion Don't

Fashion may be over-rated!
Pulling, poking,everywhere.
Hugging all your 'stuck out' places.
Coloring every bit of hair!

Does everything need glitter?
Is a thong a fashion "Do"?
Well then, I'm a fashion "Don't".
And I'm probably naked too! 

By the way, have you seen hubby and my's new blogspot?! It's HERE. Come and visit! :-)
