I had errands to run this morning, so I wore a dress. Considering that probably doesn't make sense to you, let me explain.
I like wearing dresses far more than wearing pants. It's one piece of clothing vs. the obligatory 3 that come when you opt to wear pants. One piece. Just one. Who wouldn't choose to put on one piece of clothing? However, our building is the equivalent of an igloo on the dark side of the moon when it comes to temperature, so wearing a dress to work isn't always an option, unless I want my fingers and toes to fall off from frostbite. I generally opt to go with long pants, long sleeves or a jacket, and close toed shoes so I don't freeze to death.
Since I didn't come into the building until this afternoon, I got the joys of wearing a dress without being an icicle all day. And this came with perks. :)
Let me set the tone...I'm in a knee-length dress (from Target,
in case you were all wondering, which I'm sure you were) and 2 inch
heels that have a cute little fabric flower on the top above a
peep-toe. They're adorable. I'm adorable.
Tag Office, 8:00 AM
Its about time for my tags to be updated. And I needed another copy of my proof of tags. So I made a fun trip to the tags office. As I'm coming out, this guy stops me.
"Howdy ma'am."
I can't even make that up.
"How are you doin' today?"
I'm FAN-tastic. :) "I'm doing well."
"Well, I just wanted to let you know you look real pretty today."
Thanks? Do you see me often? Who are you? "Well, thank you."
And that was it. But hey...I can dig compliments!
So later, I had other errands to run. As I was leaving one office, a guy was walking out with me. He was way nice.
"Hey how are you?"
Man, this dress is magic! "I'm well. How are you?"
"I've been out all morning and I didn't get to have breakfast, so I'm hungry. Thinking about going to get lunch."
Ummm...okay...
"Are you headed back to work?"
"Yeah."
"Where do you work?"
"I work at Georgia Highlands. We're moving to the new building so I have to go help pack."
"So you wouldn't have time for lunch would you?"
OH. Oh no. "No I wouldn't... I really need to get back."
"What about another time?"
Awww.. How sweet! But no. Dude was shorter than me, wicked scrawny, and not dressed to impressed. "I don't think that's a good idea. I don't think my (non-existent) boyfriend would appreciate that very much."
"He doesn't let you eat?"
Can I just tell you how sweet he was? Really adorable. Just so...small...and young... "He has no problem with me eating. He's just not a fan of me eating with guys he doesn't know and I don't know."
"Oh. Okay. Well maybe I'll see you around."
"Maybe! Bye!"
Talk about feel goods!
Megan OUT.
Awesome!! I love this. I think sometimes when we feel pretty, we look even prettier! It gives us that extra confident boost. You were workin' it!
