New 100 Word Challenge for Grown Ups: Week 171 prompt: “… I can’t decide when to change…
Ericka sighed, “I hate clothing rules.”
“What are you talking about?” Gretchen said.
“You know, the no white after Day Labor rule. I can’t decide when to change out my clothes. I mean it’s still hot as Hell outside.” She moved to hide a white dress behind her winter wools.
“Wait!” Gretchen jumped up grabbing the dress. “Ericka, this is gorgeous, can I borrow it for Saturday?”
“It’s October, you wouldn’t dare.”
“Oh, but I would, ”she said. Mama always told me, “Gretchen, don’t’ ever just walk into a room, make an entrance. And, no matter what you’re wearing, own it, sweetheart, own it.”
I’d love to hear your comments. Talk to me. Tell me your story. And as always, you can follow me on Facebook at SheilaMGood, Pinterest, Bloglovin, Twitter@sheilagood, and Contently.
I can see her swaggering in & making that entrance! It is a wonderful idea to put those winter woollies to one side for once! Thanks Sheila!

So glad you enjoyed it! I’ll admit a tiny bit inside of me enjoys bucking the system, once in a while. Thanks for reading and commenting.

Wise words! Being a Brit I never understood the ‘No white after Labour day’ rule, I guess we’re lucky in the UK to have fewer rules like that (I think anyway, either that or I just ignore them!).

For a conservative southern woman, I love breaking rules. Thanks for stopping by the Cow Pasture and taking the time to comment.

I have never understood this rule. Here, in Florida, I don’t think anyone lives by it because it’s summer all year long. Hrm… maybe that’s why all those Northerners really come down here, just so they can wear white.

Lol, maybe so. I’m a good old Southern girl who “always” follows the rules. 😉
