Haute Fashion

I'm glad that my invitation to the Academy Awards didn't arrive. The Post Office sometimes loses mail. What in my closet might be appropriate? Perhaps one of the two black cords I've alternated this entire winter—with time in between for laundering.

This winter I retired my fleece tops for four turtle neck tops and a light fleece vest—black, blue or green. My winter shoes—heavy, waterproof shoes or high boots when appropriate.

I do own a pair of church pants—different black cords or brown cords.

I can't wear one of those flouncy dresses, or a dress that plunges—not because of modesty, but I'd get too cold. I turned my ankle when I attempted to walk on anything higher than my winter shoes.

As for jewelry—there's my southwestern bear on a chain, a tree of life, and several beaded necklaces strung on heavy duty dental floss.
