The purging of my Pennsylvania clothes tells the story of my Before Beach Cottage Life. Now revealed is my former life, my present life, what I have and what I need.
Missing are light-weight cotton pants for hiking. But, I do have piles of crop pants for Summer beach walks and loads of sweat pants for enjoying the late-night bonfires.
Gone are intricate Summer dresses in favor of very comfy cotton tops and full skirts now my weekly "go-to-the-beach" commute uniform.
Gone are fluffy sweaters in favor of Nike techno-jackets for braving the ocean-side winds.
Appearing out of nowhere are now stacks of "cute going out tops" ..... now purged according to sun or beer-staining.
Carefully curated very-lady-like handbags are now ignored for ones that are big enough to hold beach commute needs, but whose color and style must shout : I am Going to Dewey Beach!
Gone are my closed-toe and high heel shoes!!!! My feet could care less for anything but sandals, sandals, sandals, and clogs!
In high Summer my uniform is a two-piece bathing suit topped with a simple cotton seersucker sundress! Off I go to use the computer at my beloved Rehoboth Library! Off to Fifer's to get a fruit pie! And then off to Cape Henlopen State Park for Piping Plover Monitoring and a Swim.
A Swimsuit As my Daily Dress: silly happy am I.
