I Am Neither a Fashionista nor Clothes Horse

The June 13, 2013 prompt for "Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum"  is
Describe your ideal dress: what clothing/outift do you feel best expresses who you are?

I am neither a fashionista nor a clothes horse. I am just an ordinary woman in her late 60s who likes to cover her naked body when she walks in front of a window, curtained and/or uncurtained, or leaves the house. I will admit to wearing short-shorts and mini skirts in my younger days, but since I was unable to balance on spiked heels I gave up the idea of wearing either garment. I mean mini skirts and short-shorts look a lot better with spiked heels then with comfortable shoes. However, after a recent national news article, I am considering purchasing spiked heels the next time I find a pair at a garage sale. I intend to keep them in the car for protection.

What kind of clothing do I prefer? I prefer long skirts or dress because they hid my ugly legs and other bodily inperfections that come with the affect of gravity on an aging body. I used to prefer black or dark colored clothes because I thought they suited me better then bright colors. I have found that dark colors encourage depression; therefor, I am changing my color choices to reds and light or bright toned purples because they seem to discourage depression. I will also consider wearing yellows, greens, and any other bright color. I do not wear white close to my face because it makes me look like a denizen of the undead.

I dress for comfort
If I have a pair of spiked heels
They are not for me to wear
I have them for protection

I dress for comfort
Long dresses and skirts
That hide the ravages
Of age and gravity

I dress for comfort
I want bright colors
To enhance a positive mood
