Re: Lacking in confidence, rainwear in indoor public spaces

Just yesterday, my my wife and I did errands to about 4 places. It was overcast, so without telling me, she walks out to the car, wearing one of her clear raincoats. This one was slightly oversized, as most of the raincoats we buy are bought to be worn with nothing underneath them. My lady for a long time, she looked sharp. And the comments! About every 3 minutes. It was a lot of fun to stay a few feet behind and watch everyone watch her. And Macklovins advice is dead on. My lady didn't care. She was happy, and when you radiate happiness, everyone wants in. The interesting part is that 3/4 quarters of the women who come up and commented, simply have to touch the raincoat. My wife was wearing a short sleeve shirt/blouse, and she told me it felt really nice when most people touched her through the jacket.
Well, that was the first two stores. We go to the third, and she stops me at the car, and opens the trunk. She had put in one of my clear raincoats. She held it up and said, 'Together". And so i did. And like Macklovin said, she and I didn't care. And this time, when the women came up and made the comments, they had to touch the raincoat. And this time, it was mine they had to touch! One gal even said, 'Do you ever use these for more than shopping?". My wife laughed and leaned forward and said, "All the time. And the next time will be within 90 minutes!" This gal smiled and said, she knows.
So it was just one more fun weekend. Good comments from everyone.
