Did you receive the memo?
It was a carefree, roaming-through-the-day kind of mood that grabbed my soul. My costume was suited to the self-assigned “gypsy day.” The skirt I wore was a gauzy hand-me-down from my daughter, accented by a hand-me-down peasant blouse from my sister. I wore nine strands of bangles, dangly earrings, and my Birkenstocks. (I didn’t have any cool boots to wear for a true fashion statement.) Unfortunately, when I realized I had chosen “gypsy” as a theme, I couldn’t get Cher’s politically incorrect song, “Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves,” out of my head. I had to bake a pie to remedy that situation.
Be careful what you wear lest it inspire an ear worm, or prompt you to heat your kitchen on a 98 degree day!
