And my clothes are just....clothes.

They'll go perfectly with mine. I just don't have anything fancy to go to normally. I pretty much wear jeans or sweat pants all but about three days a month, and, with one thing and another, my weight has been all over the map for the last couple of years. I'm just going to have to get by on my winning smile and unusual eyes.

AND The Garnets, right?

Yes, Katerina, perhaps I should just lean on people's being so dazzled by The Garnets that they won't notice anything else I'm wearing. We never have figured out why my great-aunt Lucille owned anything so extravagant.

In that case, you could always go with just The Garnets.

Yup, my fashion style says that basic black + garnets = well dressed. Hearing about your garnets made me all wistful about not attending the F2F. You'll have to make sure that a picture of The Garnets gets posted for me.

A swanky dinner sounds quite good.

You did not dance because you did not have ME!

Also, I would wear my wedding gown. Except that it's a kimono. And while it is beautiful, it would be very very difficult to dance in. Or to walk. Or to move. Or to breathe.

And oh, yeah, that whole thing where I'm not going.

I think Aimee was responding to the trend of dressing-down that female-types have displayed in their descriptions of what they plan to wear.

Hey! My leather is not "dressing-down", damnit; it's soft supple pricey leather.

And I wore black ankle length Ralph Lauren last year. This year, I think it's trousers.

Someday, I want to buy better leather pants, with a button and everything.

(Edited because my leather pants are real, not imaginary, just cheap, and with no button)

I have seen them, and they are real, and they look good, oh yes they do.
