Unfortunately, I was in my matron period.<br /><br />And no worries--this is a Grammar Police-free Zone!<br /><br />Sweet Michelle--I'm having a fabulous time. Just a little anxious as I always am at these things--but not in a bad way.<br /><br />I agree that clothes can be completely transforming. They are costumes. Some are just costumes that people don't give much thought to. Your costumes are always poetry. I love that.<br /><br />Maggie--The Uniform Project is amazing. Makes me feel incredibly narcissistic. The girls are talented, don't you think? I always donate our clothing to Thrift Stores, Goodwill, and the Salvation Army. But I wonder if I'll be donating my Walmart clothing or my designer stuff next September.

Hope you're having lots of fun ...Hey beautiful,<br />Hope you're having lots of fun at the conference! I know what you mean about money and clothes. I think that's one of the most interesting parts of your posts. For some reason, women (I don't know if men experience this or not) are phobic about tallying up clothes expenses, myself included. I think money is more taboo on some levels than sex, disease, emotional despair, etc . . . And I also think it's kind of a no win at times -- spend too much and people assume a certain level of vanity is at work, too little and people assume you have no taste. I love clothes, expensive and cheap, and have always believed in their transformative powers, although usually the transformation was me in a rattier/chicer/disastrous incarnation. But I think it's fun -- my friend Shawn loves it because I'm his Barbie and am not afraid to go around looking like a fool or a gigantic cupcake!Michelle's Spellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769666862403600253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-512812041535041212.post-26741789324032426572009-10-15T13:33:15.337-05:002009-10-15T13:33:15.337-05:00It's an interesting experiment, for sure.
