The Best Kept Secret Blog - Am I Too Old For This - Part II

Well, the dress is going back. You know, the dress from The Gap that I wondered if I was too old to wear?

We're going out for dinner tomorrow night and I thought, "Hey, perfect occasion. I'll give it a go." So I put it on and preened for myself in front of the mirror. Big mistake.

I don't know what I was thinking when I bought it but looking at it now, I remembered that I had once previously owned a dress that was very similar - in Grade 9.

I attempted to "dress it up" with some suede boots. This did make me and the dress take on a slightly more mature look. Now I looked like I was trying to be 20.

Maybe if I added a funky jean jacket. Now I just looked funny.

My husband came in the room and I asked him how I looked. Typically, this question causes him to freeze in fear as his eyes dart about, looking for the nearest exit. I new it was bad when he unequivocally said it looked ridiculous.

So, back it goes. I now know what I shouldn't be wearing but I'm still not sure what I should be wearing.
