It’s me. I live in a trendy affluent area and if you want to be treated like you belong, not like the help, and especially if you want to meet similar women, you gotta look sharp.

Fortunately this being Florida, sharp is also rather informal. Nice shorts (no elastic, no drawstrings), casual shoes (no visible sox though), etc.

Went out for swanky dinner last week w GF. Pink bermuda shorts, maroon open weave knit polo, white linen suitcoat. White fancy sneakers with no visible sox. GF was not the only woman who noticed. For her part, a gold metallic top, white denim mid thigh skirt, and gold wedge sandals. Plus bling. I was not the only man who noticed either.
