First things first – we are home. We skirted just ahead of the rain most of the way, did deal with some misting. Got out later than planned, but still got home – after dark. Boohisss. The cats are ecstatic to be home. BooYAh!
As I mentioned to Michelle earlier, I got up this morning to an email from one of my favorite online places that the new early spring fashions were online. I’m like… it’s 2 days AFTER Christmas! Y’all are having BIG ASS CLEARANCE sale and my card is topped out and I simply am NOT doing this. I have enough clothes. My closet clothes bar is weighted down. But I looked…
look at your own risk
Now the first thing I’m going to say is – I HAVEN”T BOUGHT A THING! I do not PLAN to buy ANYTHING. I can’t afford it! I just looked. Mostly poked fun at some of these.
This is cute, but do not need! I”ve discovered that this is NOT a good color on me. Too pale. I like this one too
but it looks familiar!
yeah, I own that. It’s my favorite.
So I’m thinking maybe in a different color, but I can hear Michelle screaming BORING already!
This is cute… but not THAT cute…
Now… THIS….
This I could say yes to. Also, those shoes…. and I looked for them, but alas no….
I found these…
What would I wear those with???? (I love them, but really, what would I wear them with???)
NOT that cute!
Okay, my legs just fell just LOOKING at these. 4 inch heel. The last 4 inch heel I wore was 31.5 years ago – when I got married. No. Nononononononono! NEXT!
So I’m looking at that pretty print shoe and thinking… Easter dress???
But I remembered I have the one from last year I wore… only once…
Which I don’t think looks that great on me. It looks like a box – but mostly because of the jacket. The dress itself is a plain white sheath. Also the shoes, but I had 3 broken toes. Maybe with a short bolero or cardigan- I have like…. FIVE – and a heel…. Also this…
Ignore my messy room.
I have a darling black crochet bolero to go with this swing dress. I think it looks like a tent on me in the picture, but it’s not.
I have a cute teal or cute white bolero to go with this!! (Also – WAISTLINE!) and this…
So no. NO new Easter dress. I have plenty to chose from…
Okay, my jeans are too big. Really. I need to buy a size, maybe 2 smaller.
Dear Sweet Jesus, no!
Jeans. Please. Just a plain pair of jeans.
I don’t care HOW popular this is, No. Just say no!
I see me going to Cato across the street and buying a pair of plain jeans off the clearance rack.
Really. I’m only seeing the ONE thing that I would take a leap for, but I REALLY don’t need it. I need exercise or yoga shorts to work out in. I need a white bra. Actually, I think I”ve dropped a cup size (GASP!) because there’s space at the top… and a band size because I’m stretched all the way over and there is room at the inn, my friends.
Which makes me feel pretty good.
I have decided on a book challenge for next year, but I”ll talk about that in a few days. Right now, I want to clear off my bed and try to finish the current book I’m working on. This challenge tho – is a doozy!!!! Wait until you hear about it!
And for wading through this – Have some Richard.
Now, go to bed!
That teal and blue paisley dress is lovely, it looks great on you! π Glad to hear you’re back home safely.
I like it! I have the choice of a white or teal short bolero to wear with it if necessary.
It was good to sleep in my own bed. Now I get to unpack and clean because li’l sis is coming today!!!
I’ll take the white jacket with the blue flowers when you get ready to give it to the good will.!!!!! Ha !!!
It’s really beautiful, but I”m discovering that jacket that are waist length and longer, look boxy on me. A loose flowing sweater is fine, but a jacket… nope.
Those print shoes are very cute… they would be lovely with your plain white shift dress… just sayin… π
I”m thinking so as well, although I’d like a little bit higher heel. But If I’m NOT wearing the long jacket, it might be okay!
Yes Helen great point!
You could add a bolero or little cardigan to the white shift and a necklace/earrings that pick up the red or green in those shoes – they are cute!
Mezz – but tell me honest…. DO YOU LIKE THE SHOES?????
Yes, I like them, but it’s a moot question, Zee!!! you love them! I’m simply offering suggestions to help you make up your mind to buy or not to buy lol! ππ (Hope they’re comfortable as well as cute!)
hehehehehe
Yep great idea!! πππ
Those shoes are going to HAVE to wait. They’re 70.00!!!! (They’ll go on sale next month or the one after.)
I actually like the pink sweater w the polka dot slevves although it is a little short itβs very versatile
Yes please no taupe or beige or ecru or eggshell
B-O-R-I-N-G said with love!!πthe blue and white sheath you modeled and the flower sandal pumps in the pic I like and the flower sandals will go w more then you think they will! Prints Zee think prints as I told my sis yesterday!ππππ€£π
Believe it or not, that light pastel shade of pink is NOT my color!!! I have a pale pink sweater and a pale pink swing tunic that is lost on me. Almost the same shade as my skin!
I have enough eggshell/taupe/beige in my closet. I have a beautiful ecru shell chemise with a dark beige lace that is gorgeous and goes under much. I have a picture of me wearing it with a black jacket (no more) and a pair of foil jeans…

I also have a gorgeous pair of floral flats that go with my fushia and hot pink stuff (i have several) Too bad they’re so damned uncomfortable.

I think a nice subtle print with your skin tone would look great like that blue and white dress above
I like the white long jacket maybe w some other
dress not white on white but you have a beautiful skin tone you can wear a lot of different colors!!
Iβm glad you experiment
Oh where is that pic of Richard the last one?
The cut of the jacket makes me look like a box. I’m very large breasted, so getting stuff to cover takes away from my shape. I’m thinking of a pretty short bolero or a shawl with the white dress.
I have a preference for jewel tones or very bright, vivid or stark colors. Pale pastels don’t do much for me – unless I have some sort of tan. Pale blush pink especially. Just doesn’t look good on me.
Yup.
That deep pink sweater I think you will get a lot of mileage out of and the fuchsia dress is very nice
You could wear that to your bros wedding in May
I think the white jacket with the flowers looks expensive
and with the right dress can elongate you and you donβt want a tight jacket anyway so the boobs donβt splash out
Just rise to the occasion πIβm not a fan of boleros
or shrugs I feel like Iβm wearing a straight jacket π«π€¦ββοΈ
which one? The one that also comes in the sand color? It looks almost identical to a sweater I have in a dark dusty pink – and yes, I LOVE that one. It’s my favorite.
I’m hard pressed to buy another dress, when I have 4 perfectly nice ones already that I”ve NOT worn that much. The paisley one I wore to open house, with the teal bolero, the animal print I wore the first day of school. I’ve worn them all to church – once.
I bought the jacket dress during a big sale, so it really wasn’t THAT expensive. And heels elongate me. I think my legs are my strong point.
(I like boleros and cropped cardigans. I have some lovely shawls as well.)
The pink chunky ish sweater I think you bought that one. Yeah in my opinion sand is not a great color and you have gorgeous eyes so any bright bold colors will really bring them out! I think the jacket coat worn e heels and a non white but not black outfit will look dynamite on you
Yeah, I have the chunky darker dusty pink sweater – hence why I didn’t look hard at the blush and/or sand colored one almost like it. I personally like beige to sand to taupe. It’s easy to accessorize.
I think last Easter outfit (the jacket dress) needed heels rather than the gladiator sandals. Again, I had broken 3 toes and couldn’t wear much of anything. The jacket made me look boxy (imo) and I would have liked something around my neck and dangling from my ears a bit more colorful.
Yeah I wouldnβt chuck the jacket just wear it w another
dress w more color or a print!!
I still think the cat tunic is uber cute and you are a cat lover sooooo
Where was the skinny Richard pic from on the last picture?
THey’ve sold out of the cat tunic by the time I got back to it.
Richard – let me go look…
The Skinny Richard pic was taken in Australia during the film tour of I THINK the last Hobbit movie. He looks TOOOO thin, imo
Yeah Iβm not a fan of skinny winny Richie
I like hunky chunky P character Richard and rhymes with
Hochter not gonna I open that doorr π€£π
I prefer a man I can’t knock off the bed.
And yes, I have.
Well if he was P then that would be an interesting scenario let him try to wrestle and pin you down with those arms and chest and legs ππππ
I had a former boyfriend who was 6 foot 3 and weighed almost 300 pounds.
I knocked him out of the bed.
I knocked my ex husband out of the bed as well. He was 6 foot and 200 pounds.
Of course, he was asleep at the time, and I used both feet….
Wow you go girl!!!
Sleeves not what I typed sorryπ€¦ββοΈπ
I kinda guessed – lol!
Iβm glad! πππ
