A dress for the slightly less tall ............
I'm six foot and super slim.
Actually I'm not. I'm thin ish but only five foot two and three quarters. That's a full foot shorter than the saxophonist .
This is a regular opportunity for him to make what I like to call "height ist " remarks he imagines to be funny .
In an attempt to avoid these he has , variously , caught me climbing up supermarket shelves to get a tin , taking a running jump to grab something from a high shelf and almost tumbling into a supermarket chest freezer that was particularly deep .
I do , though , have pale blue eyes ( thanks Dad ). We went to London earlier this week and into a dress shop that is that bit too expensive.
I indulged .
Six dresses in all but they will last . Think Margaret Howell .
When we got home I put on the pale one . It was a perfect match for my eyes . That's not arrogance , it's gratitude ..........also pay back for the deep freeze .

You could have been found at the bottom of that chest freezer, weeks later during a stock check.
ReplyDeleteThe saxophonist thought your comment was hilarious .
DeleteI used to be 5' 1 3/4" and have shrunk down to 5' 1" over the years. My DIL bought me a set of good step stools because I made her nervous climbing up on counters and jumping about to reach things--LOL! Sounds like you got yourself some gorgeous new dresses. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh ,you obviously know that feeling - the thrill of femininity !
DeleteOh I think that's a post right there . See next post ........
