![]() Am I out of my mind to think about wearing peds so that they actually show a little? Is this my idea of trendy fashion or a really bad “Little Old Lady with cats” fashion mistake? I like wearing peds rather than no socks at all. I usually get nude colored ones and then go to all lengths to try to get them not to show. Inevitably they pop out anyway. Should I just stop fighting this battle and let my peds hang out for God and everyone to see? I saw some peds on Esty that had a lace edge which obviously was intended to show. It gave me the idea that it might be fun to buy some peds in different colors. To quote Stacy and Clinton of “What Not to Wear,” they would add a “pop of color” to my feet. Today I am trying this out. I am wearing purple peds and my black chunky Sketcher ballet flats with jeans and a purple top. I don’t know. This might be too matchy-matchy. Also the peds show more than I want them to show. I was hoping for a little peek of color and instead my feet are screaming “I am wearing Peds and they are PURPLE.” Will people out in the real world stare at my feet and whisper to each other “Her peds are showing,” in the same way they would if I had toilet paper stuck to my shoe? I went on line to see if there was anyone else considered this bold ped thing. I found a YouTtube video with a girl young enough to be my granddaughter discussing peds that DON’T show. This is not a good sign. However, I consulted with my friend and fashion guru and she thought it was kind of cool. Like me, she is a senior citizen. Unlike me she dresses very thoughtfully and has an innate sense of style. I guess I can take the risk. I have undoubtedly worn stranger things by just unconsciously throwing something on. At least I’m making a conscious decision to let my peds hang out.

WHAT IS A LITTLE OLD LADY WITH CATS - REALLY?
(from an entry posted on 5/1/2015) “I definitely fit some of the characteristics of a little old lady with cats: Retired - check, Single - check, Like to knit - check, Have cats - check. . .I do not want to get stuck in my Little Old Lady persona, however. In fact, this blog is a risk taking experiment in exploring and redefining what I want my retired life to look like.” Categories
