EXHIBIT A.1:
Wear this outfit on a honeymoon date with your Heart-- 17 years on this rocketship!-- and only decide after the fact that you look like a big goofball. Don't you love that I'm featuring Frugal Fancy-pants outfits that I've decided I don't even like?! Desperation-- pure and simple. One of many great things about John is that he's immune to fashion and rarely notices when I think I'm looking especially fetching. His compliments always pour forth when I'm in a bathrobe and looking like a tired, old lady. (I'm keeping him.)
