Lately I've been totally into casual cotton dresses...long or short they are just very comfortable. Last week I was wearing one and someone said to me "this is the first time I have EVER seen you in a skirt". He said it with so much shock in his voice I thought maybe I should dress more feminine from now on.
So, today I have on a cute brown one with white polka dots and I have gotten more compliments on my simple outfit than I ever do at work. I guess should wear it more often. But it has a few big issues with functionality the biggest being no pockets. I know why girls clothes don't have pockets - they aren't as slimming but it poses major problems when I'm going around work with so much stuff to carry. I just went down to lunch with my badge, cell phone and credit card in hand then added a small salad, half a sandwich, a fork, napkin and water bottle....that's a tough load to carry. So while I was organizing it all so I could carry it upstairs to my office (and still be able to use my badge to get into the door and have a free hand to open the door) I apologized to someone about taking up so much room on the counter and said something about how not having pockets was something that guys never have to worry about. He said he could go on for quite a while on why it's easier to be a guy (he's married and has 3 daughters) and pockets aren't in the top 100. Made me laugh.
But I think I'll still wear my silly little dresses and my jeans with buttoned down back pockets even though they aren't functional because they are more slimming :)

I'm sure "not wearing a bra" made his top 100. And pointy toed shoes. :)
