Productive weekend

[cjsmith]

Second time on the rower in one week -- I've "graduated" to twice a week. Boy, that seat rips up the skin on my backside.

What to wear to my sister's wedding? Some people may keep a closet full of wedding-appropriate attire, but I'm just a leetle more practical. So I had some sewing to do. Floor-length hide-the-shoes palazzo pants, a simple sleeveless shirt, and a filmy overjacket I already had. Now that the outfit is almost complete, of course, I'm second-guessing everything about it, to the point where I don't want to wear it at all. *sigh* But frankly there's only one person who will come to this event and spend one microsecond of thought on how bad I look, and NOTHING would make her think I looked good, so I should just get over myself and wear the damn thing.

i have a closet full of wedding-appropriate clothing ... for someone else's body. :P

your outfit sounds lovely. dressy enough for the occasion but not ridiculously uncomfortable for you (that's reserved for the wedding party *smirk*).

i'm tempted to suggest you take the fabric scraps and throw together some sort of shoe covering ... then you can say you've got shoes to match! :)

and congrats on the rower progress!

Hah! I know that feeling. Well, ok, I have a beautiful red silk shantung Christmas-or-New-Years dress for someone else's body. I have some wedding-appropriate clothing for, um, WINTER. I am NOT wearing VELVET in JULY. Even if it does show off my favorite necklace very prettily.

Hahahaha shoe covering! I like it! It would be truly heinous, of course, and I'd never actually wear it.

Thanks!
