No, I usually dress like that. I forgot to mention the silver Flash Gordon rocket tie clip.

Well she’s a guy. (I love that commercial!)  
Ok, my at home uniform… Pink cotton floral nightie & bare feet.

Clean shirt, new shoes  
And I don’t know where I am goin’ to.  
Silk suit, black tie,  
I don’t need a reason why.

They come runnin’ just as fast as they can  
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

Gold watch, diamond ring,  
I ain’t missin’ not a single thing.  
And cuff links, stick pin,  
When I step out I’m gonna do you in.

They come runnin’ just as fast as they can  
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

Top coat, top hat,  
I don’t worry ‘cause my wallet’s fat.  
Black shades, white gloves,  
Lookin’ sharp and lookin’ for love.

They come runnin’ just as fast as they can  
'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

ZZ Top

Well, normally I’d say in my tummy but it’s been a while since I’ve eaten a green banana.  
I do like them better than the ripe ones.

The same thing I almost always wear: gym shorts and a t-shirt.

That sounds like it could be either a complete mess, or very stylish. Judging by the attention to detail given to the description, I suspect the latter.

Are we accessorising? Vintage pocket watch? Cufflinks? Silk undergarments?

Sounds like you would appreciate a pair of brogues made by a friend of mine who works as a last-maker at a high-class cobblers here in London. If you can afford the £4,000 a pair price tag that is :eek:

Starting from the bottom up:

Ugg boots  
Explorer socks  
Knickers  
Trackie pants  
Cotton long-sleeved singlet  
Cotton long-sleeved sweat-shirt  
Purple plush dressing gown  
(I’m debating whether to put on my beanie!)

Yes, it’s fucking cold here, why do you ask?

I’m working, so:

My [Browncoats T-shirt](http://www.teefury.com/gallery/1207/Browncoats_Forever/)and khaki cargo shorts. Boxers. Oh, and narrow frameless glasses and a wedding ring.

Pocket watch, yes. 1950s Ingersoll.

Slippers and boxers. Just loaded the truck for a long weekend getaway, going to SSS and hit the road for camp.

I’d like to see a picture!

I’m wearing a black/white/brown/gray patterned skirt with a handkerchief hem, a taupe T-shirt (_everything_ matches that skirt), a beige cardigan, and open-toed snakeskin heels.

And I wouldn’t usually add this, but I feel quite spiffy today because my underpants have little Scottie dogs on them. 🙂

I’m wearing black pants, tank top, and slip resistant shoes, and my baker’s blouse. Also appropriate underwear. Now, back to work.

Oy! Why must you ask such questions so early in the morning? Now my poor brain is going to have to reboot all over again. Already, it’s making my fingers type “i’s” where they where they shouldn’t be. Is this an obscure reference to something? Or an unobscure one, even. My brain wouldn’t know the difference at this point. C’mon, reboot. Reboot!

The reason I was wearing a bandana (or bandanna, since my word check seems to like both spellings,) is because my hair has grown too long and it’s annoying hanging in my face but I’m too cheap to get it cut just yet. Give me another week or so.

This morning I’m wearing a teal T-shirt with nothing on it, jeans that are dark blue (yesterday’s were middling) and the same brown sandals. Am tempted to put the bandana on again but with this crowd…I don’t know.
