A Great AI Image and Question...

From a practical prospective, there are so many things wrong with this AI image. 

But who cares!

I have questions: Yesterday (Monday) my non-robot views were near zero. OK not zero but only about 10% of my typical loyal reader views; you, the readers I value. I have few "Followers" compared to other blogs. Have I run my course? Do my views only come from secondary clicks on Femulate and t-Central? Maybe my content is no longer relevant, although I try and keep it varied. 

Doing a everyday post is a lot of work. I am a big girl, so please be honest on continuing? Maybe all blogs have run their course? I knew this, "To be or not be?" moment would come. So I ask, should I continue?   

Daisy Duke and The Dukes of Hazzard

 

Gingham Top White Jeans

I 

I have always loved the feminine differential of gingham. Maybe my inner Daisy Duke is calling.  Or, the "I am ready for a picnic" look.  For those who have no cluse who Daisy Duke is:

Catherine Bach as Daisy Duke

Daisy Duke is a fictional character from the American television series "The Dukes of Hazzard". A TV show from 1979 to 1985. Daisy, played by Catherine Bach, is the cousin of the protagonists, Bo and Luke, and all three live on a farm on the outskirts of Hazzard County with their Uncle Jesse.  

Catherine Bach:

 I can't think of another character who is responsible for creating their own fashion accessory namesake."

The show plots were not of the highest intellectual calling, although it ran for seven seasons and a total of 147 episodes. Many of the episodes followed a similar structure "out-of-town crooks pull a robbery or commit a crime or scandal, Duke boys blamed, spend the rest of the hour clearing their names. The General Lee flies and the squad cars crash.

The General Lee (sometimes referred to as simply "the General") is an orange 1969 Dodge Charger driven in the television series The Dukes of Hazzard by the characters the Duke boys, Bo and Luke.

Make Sure...

 

Why Not 4...

An easy look. In fact I wore almost the exact outfit to a Doctor's office last week. This is such an easy casual outfit with heels optional. I wore platform sneakers (trainers).  And yes, took my leather every-day bucket-shoulder bag.   

I have worn this look many times with the white shirt worn out, almost as a tunic. With high-rise jeans and belt, shirt tucked in with balloon sleeves; what a nice look. 

I love the little ankle cuff, turn up, on the skinny jeans. A skinny pair of jeans with a fringe ankle bottom would also work. Plus, button fly in place of a zip front. All not obvious, but subtle feminine differentials. 

Why not.....
