First day of autumn came and went
with warm temperatures still dogging our footsteps. So today, now that October’s
cooler temperatures surprised me, I pulled out a new pair of jeans and a
long-sleeved shirt. It happened to be a very old button-down from previous work
days. But nothing special. Blue checks
on a white background. I turned up the cuffs so I wouldn’t have to bother
unbuttoning and then buttoning them again when I changed at the gym later.
So how surprised was I when several
people asked where I was going today, what was the occasion, and why was I
dressed up? And one of them was my husband. Keep in mind, my hair still had not
had any more attention than a three-second brush-through, make-up and jewelry
were non-existent, and I was wearing jeans
for heaven’s sake.
It’s a good thing the weather is
getting cooler. I can go to jeans or snug but comfy yoga pants, pull on a nice,
longish jacket and people will think I actually have someplace important I have
to go to during the day. Like a real job, not writing at home in cutoffs and a
tee. I guess my summer casual had gotten pretty casual. Here’s to autumn
casual.
