Your jeans comment made me laugh. My stepdad, Ted, used to always wear his jeans droopy, because he didn’t have much of a butt. When they became ‘the thing’ we used to tease him that he’d been stylish for years and we didn’t even know it!Kim S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06609086775319252934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708495768493268860.post-3158686421161620982015-02-03T11:19:30.911-05:002015-02-03T11:19:30.911-05:00Maria, so glad you ‘stopped by’!

I did bring back a big fringed scarf from Paris – I was going to use it as a pattern to make more to dress up my drab attire. Haven’t done so yet!Kim S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06609086775319252934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708495768493268860.post-45925966805054664762015-02-03T11:16:46.061-05:002015-02-03T11:16:46.061-05:00Yes, we are definitely peas in a pod!

How else would...The plain close make perfect sense. How else would the sparkliest jewelry show up?<br />I don't think odd is the right word. I like different better. And don't we all have our differences? <br /><br />Now, if you ask me, rap music is odd! Actually, I think it shouldn't even be music. Going somewhere in company where the "music" is so loud that you can't have a conversation, that's odd. Wearing jeans which are on the brink of falling down, that's odd.<br /><br />Concerning the lottery: are you playing? You know you can't win if you are not playing?<br /><br />I like it when you blog!Christahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03995654286596128358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708495768493268860.post-67048452259705016292015-01-31T07:39:28.545-05:002015-01-31T07:39:28.545-05:00I can totally relate to this post.
This sounded ex...I can totally relate to this post.<br />This sounded exactly like me down to the Victoria (and Teatime) Magazines.<br />I, too, dress very basically. But, I have had to add scarves to my wardrobe for both coping with the air-conditioned environment in Florida, and as sun protection around my neck. Some beautiful floral scarves really dress-up and outfit and I frequently get positive comments about them.<br />Also, I have to wear big sun hat 9 to 10 months of the year. Not only do they rectify a bad hair day, but when you wear a big sun hat with sunglasses and a strong lipstick, you look extremely glamorous no matter how you're dressed from the shoulders down. <br />Methinks it is time for you to visit some of those lovely vintage shops around Richmond and keep your eyes open for floral scarves with lace or fringe.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09021105334161216830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708495768493268860.post-85564434933766627092015-01-30T12:00:42.842-05:002015-01-30T12:00:42.842-05:00PEAS IN A PODDD, Pretty Girl!! Ruffles and flour...PEAS IN A PODDD, Pretty Girl!! Ruffles and flourishes and chantilly and blooms the size of your (nonexistent) hat. Everything pink and frilly and floral in the house. Remember my asking Chris if it felt too Girly, and he said that he didn't care if I strung Kewpie dolls on ribbon all around the walls, as long as I was there?<br /><br />Thinking back with gentle regret of furnishing our first house with not one but TWO immense sets of BLACK Naugahide furniture in the den, when there was a great gaggle of growing boys making us and our table Meeting Central for several years. <br /><br />We're sisters under the skin (and what's covering it), for my wardrobe is solid cotton---T-shirts and shorts and capris (wearing my one pair of baggy-butt MOM jeans this minute, for I'm invited out to lunch), and never a twin-set shall meet.<br /><br />At least you wear SHOES---mine are all a rainbow of rubber clogs, so comfortable and matching every single outfit I own (God Bless Lane Bryant Catalog), and worn Summer and Winter, for every occasion, chore, and outing. Well, there IS a demure black pair for VERY solemn occasions, to go with my Black Dress, which is really an extended T-shirt with a couple of sleeve-gussies to make it presentable.<br /><br />Better go---my escort's headed for the car.<br /><br />love and,<br /><br />me<br /><br />RachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.com
