Dressing Me

I love, love dressing up,
matching shoes, purse,
belt, hat, scarf round
the neck or tied on
the purse handle.
Now, I am ready.
I always dress up for
me for I want to feel good.
Don’t get me wrong for I dress
down. But, I always get comments not
being casual or dress down enough like, jeans
with a lacy top at the parties, jeans with loafers, not
 tennis shoes on casual Fridays. I do dress down for me
in torn shirts with holes or tattered clothes
at  home cleaning and cooking. My son would tell
me  to throw them away and remind me I  have so many
clothes. But I feel good wearing them for I feel free being me.
