Getting Back In the Game

Now that I am a 'free agent' again, I kind of have to get back in the game.  Does this mean I have to actively shave my legs more?  CRAP.  I guess I'll start having to make sure that I look good at ALL times now, and not just on special occasions.  So the other day I went shopping to a store that I have always liked at the mall. I swear, I have been shopping there for twenty years.  As usual I found a bunch of stuff that I liked and wanted to try on. OH GOD.  It did not turn out good.  Here's the thing.  I  had a defining moment in that tiny change room.  After turning around in this short skirt and bright tight pink top I realized that maybe my favourite shop of two decades, could no longer be my favourite shop.  I had crossed some kind of a threshold.  These clothes looked ridiculous on me!  You know when you see that 45 year old cougar walking down the street in white vinyl boots, and frosty lip gloss?  I looked like a version of THAT woman. Nope.  I have turned a page in the age-appropriate fashion book.  What's going to happen to all my cutesy t-shirts I have with things like Fruit loops on them or Strawberry Shortcake?    Don't get me wrong, this doesn't mean I am going to start shopping at Northern Reflections where I can easily pick up a practical pair of comfortable slacks and pair it with a 'safe' shoe.  No thanks.  Just won't be wearing the hooker boots anymore.  Only on very special occasions.  wink.

PS.  That is not a picture of me.  lol.
