The only way to entice me to buy a dress was to bribe me with shoes. I loved shoes. I think that was the only girly thing I had going for me. I rough housed with boys and I was in a lot of fights. Makeup came into play in my teenage years but only because I wanted to do want other girls were doing. I grew into my own style but not to the extent that most girls do.
I would apply makeup and when it wore off it wore off. No reapply for me. As I got older, raising a family, working and doing mom stuff were not conducive to my looking my best. It would take a beating sometimes.
Now that I do not have to fret with mommy duties on a regular basis, I can turn my attention to someone who has been neglected. That someone is me.
I love shoe shopping. That is something that has never left me but I didn't buy when the kids were young. All my money went to the kids. I spent most of my life in flats and sneakers. I love heels. No less than three inches.
I can buy without guilt.
I buy makeup but it is required. Girl is a little ragged around the edges. I tease Bill that I need time to sand, spackle, prime, and seal before I go out.
Purses. I love purses. I love the textures, styles, and colors.
My daughter laughs and said I have grown a lot this year. My girl is a girly girl. She loves doing all things that girls normally do. Where did she come from?
Donna Marie and I normally have a lunch date once a month. I asked her if she would like to go with me and get my nails done. I want nails nice long nails. I think I heard her mouth hit the floor.
She is so excited. So am I.
We are going in a couple of weeks. I enjoy being a girl.
Can a grandma feel like a girl?
How lovely that you are revisiting your inner girl Abbie, and most definitely a grandma can feel like a girl! It's all from within... and if you're truly feeling it, it will show on the outside. It's so nice you get to share the girly moments with your daughter.
ReplyDeleteI think I have always been part girly girl, part tomboy, as I do love being a bit of both. Growing up with 6 brothers taught me how NOT to be prissy, but it also showed me that I was different to them and to embrace being a girl. Enjoy those shoes, bags and makeovers :o) xo
I think its AWESOME that you are delving (nails first) into your more girlie side -- my Mom and I STILL get our nails done together!
ReplyDeleteAnd shoes -- well I, like you, have had a love affair with shoes for as long as I can remember. The higher the heel the better!
I am sorta missing the purse gene -- i love them of course, but definitely not obsessed. I will use a purse until it falls apart (literally) sometimes... odd!
enjoy the pampering -- WE ALL NEED IT!!!

Cyn - Will do. I will post pictures if my nails aren't horrible!
ReplyDeleteJulie - I can only imagine with 6 brothers how tough but how protected you were!!
ReplyDeleteI swing between being a girly girl and a tomboy. I think I'm actually somewhere in the middle. Having 3 brothers I had to be dressed and out the door super quick or else I'd be left behind, so grooming has always been a speed sport for me.
ReplyDeleteOne day, like you, when I get some more time for me I might enjoy it a little more. x
Corinne - you have plenty of time. It took me until my forties to get my girl on!!
