As my last two posts have been fairly emotional, I decided to lighten the mood somewhat in my musings over the day.
When attending the Instructor Conference Banquet Saturday night, it had a Mardi Gras theme to it. Which meant not only finding the perfect outfit, but MAKING the outfit perfect with well placed accessories. I managed to pull off a very simple black shruggish no sleeve shirt, with dark grey short shorts and heels...but what made the outfit was this amazing bird like bracelet that looked like a little colorful tiara sitting on my arm and matching earrings.
Usually I tend to keep my accessories at a minimum...not plane jane, but classic looking items that I can wear with just about anything.
As women, we have more clothing options than men do...some of our accessories can include but are not limited to: shoes, belts, bags, hats, earrings, necklaces, anklets, rings, bracelets, cuffs, scarves, clutches, oh did I mention shoes?
But one thing is missing from a woman's "approved" list of accessories - arm candy.
Would it be wrong to think of a man like an accessory? Or to pick them out like one too?
Oooh! This one is into medical stuff and knows which fork to use, so he comes to all my work functions and can take care of me when I am sick. This one is a Type A Personality and is able to take bawdy language and can drink like the best of them, so he goes to military events. This one is somewhat sensitive, so I can totally take him to girly movies, bawl my eyes out and he will know how to comfort me. This one is into sporting events, so he comes to races and pro games. This one is amazing with animals, so he can tag along with Mr Ari and I to the dog park.
If you could package all that up into one man, he would be as mythical as a unicorn.
I am determined to find my own personal unicorn, but until that happens, I may need a few accessories. *le sigh*
