My Christmas Day Outfit..... :-(

[gness]

I always have a new blingy top for Christmas day......this year's was black of course......sleeveless.....the under layer a sheer black fabric and the outer layer horizontal strips of black splashed with gold.......about a dozen or so all sewn along the top of each layer....but free and slightly crimped at the bottom....

Guests smiled whenever they looked at me.....they like it too, I thought....

Til someone took me to a mirror..... :-0!

Every time I moved....took a deep breath.....raised my arms.....I talk with my hands so that was lots.....the horizontal strips did a sort of Mexican wave....

They rippled up and down the front of my body and when I stopped....they stopped where they were....if they were up...they were up.....exposing the diaphanous under layer.....and most of what was under that.......☺

So.....bin it....or charity shop it with a warning?......x

[Islay]

Did you not look in the mirror when dressing?

[gness]

I did of course......but I wasn't jigging about or talking to myself.....I just stood there thinking.....hmm...you'll do.....x

[melv16]

You could use it for scaring the wildlife :-)

[Islay]

Well keep it for an appropriate party - why waste it?

[Tilly2]

Can't you just put a black, floaty jacket on, to hold the top in place?

Seems a shame to give it away.

[gness]

Great idea, Melv....I shall do star jumps in the woods...x

I now want to know what sort of parties Islay goes to......☻

Tilly.....I did actually slip something over it to try.....but it just seemed to make it worse.....x

[Baldric]

Charity Shop, without the warning, spread the fun ;o)

[Buenchico]

Wot? No video, Gness?

;-)

[Gavmacp]

I agree! Let's see what your talking about.

[Gavmacp]

Also what type of party would be 'appropriate' for a top like this?

[gness]

Baldric now sends Mrs Baldric to charity shops hunting for a black and gold top.......☺

Not flipping likely, Chris.....though if I still have it for Paddy's day when I do my Irish reel for the family you may hit lucky.....x

[gness]

Hi, Gav.......Islay knows!!!!...x

[Tilly2]

Put a nice woolly Fair Isle waistcoat over it and do the buttons up. Sorted.

[Islay]

Well we are all adults here so........
Oh no losing connection !!!!!

[Gavmacp]

Adults maybe but responsible adults.....not quite sure?

[jennyjoan]

I wore something of the same too Gness - BUT NEVER EVER LOOK AT MIRROR - what you are is of the utmost importance and whereverybody perceive of you ie kindness, fun, generosity, zanyness - that's what's people looking at. Believe me.

[gness]

Don't fret,Islay......Chris is on his way to sort you out.....well not you....your connection......hmmm....on the other hand........☺

Roll on the day when I'm a responsible adult....wearing Tilly's suggestion.....!

Hi, Conne....and thank you......though I think bouncing boobs may have been viewed by one or two.........☺

[anneasquith]

Please don't wear a fairisle waistcoat. !!!!!!!!

[tonyav]

Ah but she may want to model for a knitting pattern, anne.

I won't, Anne......not if it looks like Tony's one.....you'd kind of have to behave in that....x
