First I think all of us will agree that online shopping is dangerous, not so much to your health as to your credit card. It's so easy to sit in your pajamas and fluffy bathrobe (yes, I'm speaking from personal experience here) and scroll through pages and pages of available items. It actually reminds me (and here I am really telling my age) of spending hours paging through the big fat original Sears catalogs. The Christmas catalog was the best. And speaking of Christmas, and shopping, that's why I'm currently indulging in online shopping. This year I am going on a Caribbean cruise at Christmas time, and part of the information provided tells me that there will be two dressy evening events and five smart casual suppers. Smart casual I think I can handle; capris, nice tops and some flashy jewelry or scarves. Dressy is a little tougher. I do actually own a few very dressy outfits, but only because I haven't thrown them away since I retired from the working world and occasional very nice parties. They will not do, having aged out of their usefulness. So I'm looking at dressy dresses. There are many to choose from, happily, and even some in styles that will suit me. I do have some limitations - no short skirts or short sleeves and a-line skirts are good. And here's a fun fact. You can find a nice selection of dressy dresses under the categories of 'mother of the groom' or 'mother of the bride.' Now I must get back to shopping. Such a chore, but it must be done.
