Too dressed up???

  
Hi Ladies
I've found myself a little distracted lately by Pinterest. Actually, when I say distracted, I really mean obsessed! I've always been a 'gatherer of images' (scrap booking is just too organised for me) & I've spent many happy hours with my scissors & a glue stick filling books with pictures from magazines that inspire me. Now though we have the online version & a whole world of inspiration! Try it ladies, I know you'll love it.
The question I ask Supersis time & time again when I share Pinterest pics of beautiful clothes is 'I could wear that to tescos couldn't I ?'  It's usually a picture of a fabulous Dior gown, which actually wouldn't even fit into my car to get me to tescos, but it got me wondering.....when are we too dressed up?  Who made the rules about what clothes are too dressed up for which occasions? I totally know that it's not practical to wear a gown for your grocery shopping but wouldn't it make the whole experience just lovelier somehow?
Now I do wear my jeans an awful lot (a habit I'm trying to break) but I also usually wear a lot of jewellery & sometimes a fabulous pair of shoes to 'overdress' myself. It's definitely true that when I'm grocery shopping & I look down at a fabulous pair of shoes, my day seems just that bit nicer.  It seems a shame to keep a beautiful pair of shoes shut away in a cupboard, it makes me wonder what we're waiting for?  Why are we saving our best for best? And really the question I'm asking is
'what is best?' Shouldn't everyday have lovely things in it? Shouldn't we use our best wine glass or tea cup just because? What are we saving it all for? I have a glass that belonged to my Gran & for a while after she died I was scared to use it in case I broke it. Then one day a book fell over on the shelf & nearly knocked the glass on the floor. I was so sad to think that I could have broken it without having ever used it. Now it's my Friday night wine glass (because I used to chat on the phone with Gran on a Friday evening) & if it does get broken, I will have used it & enjoyed it.

So ladies my new mission as we head towards Spring (hurry up please Mother Nature) is to add a little sparkle.....use the good lotion...drink the Harrods coffee.....be randomly dressier than is necessary...will you join me?

Happy dress up!
