Average Jane In the Home Stretch

There are only two days left of the seminar! Everything’s still going very smoothly (knock on wood again, just in case).

Last night there was a social event for the attendees, and I decided to do a little shopping on my way home so that I could dispel the image of my functional, yet ugly, cargo shorts from earlier in the day. I bought a cute, two-layer top (silky aqua tank with a sheer, multi-colored, long-sleeved outer layer). I paired it with some denim capri pants and black sandals. The minute I showed up at the party, my dad said, “Is that your Britney Spears outfit?” Ha ha.

I asked him if he was saying that my outfit was inappropriate for my advanced age, but his friend told me, “Don’t listen to him,” which seemed like good advice.

I do have a little trouble deciding whether certain outfits are really cute or just make me look like I’ve trying in vain to recapture my lost youth. I’m glad I have a sister and lots of girlfriends to guide me most of the time.
