So last week I asked a question: "If you dressed up as yourself today, how different would that be from the costume you're wearing now?"

I got so many nifty answers it's 'bout time I answered that myself, isn't it?

As a general rule, I'm dressed up as A Practical Woman. I'm wearing some solid-colored T-shirt or sweater, jeans, sneakers, white socks, and white underwear, with hair pulled back if the weather is hot or the wind is blowing. Nothing particularly interesting or eye-catching.

It's not that I'm not a practical person inside. Dressing up as me, myself, going for a walk would certainly involve jeans and sports shoes. But I always used to love wearing clothes in eye-catching patterns, or accessorized with scarves, some nifty necklace, or something silly like ribbons that used to be attached to a gift box. One of these days I would dearly love to have a long, swirly skirt and a good reason to wear it.
