Inappropriately dressed?

Assignment 1:  Write two pages in which you were inappropriately dressed for the occasion.

 

            Okay, that sounds easy enough. But I don’t even know where to go with this. I have spent most of the last twenty years dressed inappropriately for almost everything that called for something other than sweats. Not that I run around in sweats all the time, but, well here’s my version of the story.

 

            Fat bellies and over sized boobs have no place in the fashion world. Especially when fitted with a flat butt and normal legs. When I find that perfect dress for the party, I gather up several sizes and head for the fitting room to try them on. The first one fits the lower part of my body just fine, looks good, and feels good. Yes, I’m feeling good about this. Then I try to fit into the top and discover there isn’t enough fabric to cover all of me. Not good! That’s alright I just go to the next size. Yes this one covers all of me. It looks a little sloppy on the hips and accentuates the rolls and bulges of my tummy and only gaps a little here and there. Well maybe I should try the next size. Oh my, the flour sacks that flour used to come in were better than this.

 

I put on the t-shirt and wide leg pants that I came in here wearing, look in the mirror and decide I look just fine.  

 

At the party that’s what I’m wearing (or something just like it) and I’m sure someone there is saying “did you see what she is wearing” but its okay they aren’t saying it to my face so I don’t have to have a come-back remark.  I’m comfortable and having a good time.  No one but me knows the embarrassing time I spent in that fitting room a few days ago.
