I’m a girly girl.
There, I said it. Sometimes I have problems admitting it, because it seems a little weak. And I’m not weak. I like to inline skate long distances. I love to cardio box. I like to debate a point. I love to win.
But the girly girl in me takes over when there are dresses and heels in my vicinity. I don’t own many: maybe just three good party dresses and three pairs of nice heels. But I love it when I get a chance to wear them.
Dressing up lifts my spirits, and makes me feel youthful (with the big 4-0 approaching–in 2012–feeling youthful is a very, very good thing). I’m not saying I’d happily go grocery shopping in heels–that’s when I break out the running shoes–but fashion can be so much fun. Life is short. Play it up!

Confessions of a Girly Girl
I love that dress!!!
Merci beaucoup. 😉
Very fetching photo! (I stumbled across this while searching for “Dear Friend I’ve Never Met”)
You & I are SO much alike! 🙂
Heather,
For what it’s worth, I wouldn’t worry too much about being a girly girl. You look absolutely gorgeous in that dress and heels. And who says you need a dress and heels to look that great anyway?
Hey Rick,
Thanks for being so sweet.
wow! hot shoes!
how cute are you??
I think girly girls who have non-girly girl tendencies are way hot.
ha! 😉
Having seen what happened when you saw the Jimmy Choo store in NYC, You do have a weakness for these things. I’d never seen someone lick a store window before……
I did not!! Did I? I might have gotten lost in the moment….;-D
As I have said before..you look very cute.. 🙂
I agree with you..dressing up really lifts our spirit, increases our energy and makes us feel youthful…
I am still young at 23..but I miss those teenage days…
and when I will be 40, I am sure I will miss these days 🙂
u look cute.
😉
I must agree with Lisa. You do look so very pretty, Heather. 🙂 …and I as well have little time for dress up, maybe that will be my new year resolution, to spend more time on me. Thanks. 🙂
80 percent of my life is spent in sweatshirts and running shoes–so I look forward to finding more dress up time, too. If we ever meet in person we should go out in little
black dresses 😉
You look beautiful being a girly girl Lady Heather…and that dress, as well as this photo of you, is one of my favorites.
You look smashingly-take-our-breath-away-gorgeous!!!
Really. You do.
See you soon on the RB (((hugs)))

Aw, thanks –that’s some compliment!
If I looked as beautiful as you do in dresses and heels, I’d never wear anything else!
And I’ll be turning 50 in 2013. It doesn’t bother me. I spend too much time chasing my almost 6 year old kid, and I wouldn’t go backwards for anything.
