On October 17, don’t wear your usual colors or style. Instead go gaudy. After all it is Wear
Something Gaudy Day.
Gaudy usually means bright and flashy and maybe tasteless
and tacky. Now gaudy is also one of
those terms that is in the eye of the beholder.
I have a flamingo blouse that I love to wear. I think it is wonderful and makes me
smile. My mother might have thought it
was gaudy.
So on this day; get a
bit more colorful in your dress. Wear a
neon color (even if it is just a handkerchief in your breast pocket). Or maybe buy yourself some wild socks. It is OK to gaudy in secret if it could cause
problems at work.
Wear something that sparkles and glitters. Add some bling to your clothes like some
rhinestones. Or try one of those pins
that have fake diamonds in it or are just big and bright.
Whatever you and those around you might think is outrageous,
wear it. Maybe make a pact with those
you work with to all dress gaudy so no one will stand out and everyone will
have a good laugh about it.
Whatever you do, do it gaudily. But most of all have fun.
