After my nails were dry, I walked into Dillards and lingerie was right by the entrance. As I sat in the salon, I realised I needed a longer slip. I had a short slip, for the dress, but this skirt is very sheer and really needs a slip. Even sitting in the pedicure chair, I could look down and see my legs easily.
I found the small selection of slips and noticed some floor-length ones. I picked up the leg and it wasn't a slip at all! It was a pants liner! The elusive pants liner! It had three rows of lace, one at the hem and the others a couple of inches above each other. I took one off the rack and held it up to my waist. It was very long.
A woman asked if she could help. I said "no" and then "I do have a question. I've seen pants liners where the bottom comes off easily at the lace. Does this one do that?" She said no, but it could be altered. Instead, I found a slip that was just about the right length ($12.80) and I bought that.
I stepped into the cool, dark, Arizona night and I could hear a herd of teenagers heading toward the mall. My car was between the group and the entrance. There was a mix of boys and girls and they were talking loudly. I was worried for the first time that night but I kept to myself and got to the car about the same time they did. There was no problem, and I returned to my room.
I've been sitting here, writing for the past couple of hours. It is now 11 and I still haven't changed and I want to get out early to meet a woman in Tucson tomorrow!
So I don't know how Saturday went yet, but that will be tomorrow's story.
By the way, I forget if I mentioned it here, or to someone in private, but I'm not very productive when I'm dressed. Tonight, I was. I think Meg is growing up!

--I've been doing some serious thinking on the "growing up" issue. Might have to write you about that soon. I think you'll find your productivity will continue grow, possibly in ways you never realized. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful end to a wonderful evening.
I am glad that you picked up a new slip. You can never have too many slips.
ReplyDeleteI have bought pants liners in full lenght and knee lenght from Roamans.com and womanwithin.com. Both lengths had lace cut zones so I could adjust the length.
The concept of productivity while dressed is interesting. I get very flummoxed if I am trying to get out of the house but I have found a new winter hobby of cooking and I find that when I dress to cook I can truly commendeer the kitchen. When I am dressed I seem to pick up strength and energy and an ability to lose myself in my cooking.
Good luck.
