So Joseph and I were getting ready to go somewhere and I
realized I was pairing a striped scarf with a striped sweater, and I thought it
was pretty cool.  I threw my arms out and
showed Joseph.
“This outfit says I love stripes,” I said.
“Oh,” Joseph replied dryly, “is that what it says?”
Everybody is a critic. 
But it got me thinking about what we were going to wear for our
wedding.  Joseph and I have very
different styles.  He’s all flannel and I’m
everything else.  
We know I am no stranger to a wedding dress.
But I really use it more as a costume.  
I used to knit everything.
Even socks.
Lord knows I can rock a pearl necklace.
I make my own hats.
I wear the poop out of store bought hats.
The poncho is a must have for walking dogs or growing
tomatoes.
The storm trooper hoodie is chic and not at all invocative
of white supremacists.  Okay, maybe it
is, I apologize.  
I’ve been known to be a princess.
But I have my signature specks that come from Joseph and his
military days.  I had my prescription put
in to avoid bumping into things and looking like a dork.  
I’ve been draped in flowers.
What else could I possibly put myself into after all these
years?  A purple turban, maybe?  Nope, did that.  
What should a fashion icon wear on his wedding day?
