Rebel In Lace



Rebel In Lace 

Rebel in a lace dress 
All prettied up and hair brushed 
No strops or tantrums or the usual stress
You, 
being you 
You won't be rushed 

Rebel in a lace dress 
On show for admiring glances
All grace and manners you express 
You,
being you 
You'll take your chances 

Rebel in a lace dress 
Clinging to your unique originality
Playing at being infused with finesse 
You,
 being you 
You'll do it theatrically  

Rebel in a lace dress 
You maintain your attitude.
Your character has not been repressed
You,
 being you 
You express it with your shoes.

    Great to see you here...I love this line:

    "Rebel in a lace dress"

    Yes, those shoes sure can rebel. I remember a girl "forced" to wear a pink glittering dress by her mom. She hated it so, she wore her converse shoes to the wedding. Ha.ha...

    "you, being you" - nice nod to the folks who show their flair with an out of the ordinary touch: bright patterned sox, a crazy belt buckle, or in this case the sneakers.

    I just loved this--it gave me a happy boost. It reminded me of my rebel youngest daughter--I totally supported her rebellious nature! Well, mostly...
