That time of year again… I usually take an annual glammed up self portrait around my birthday. A nice picture of me that I can frame up for the hubby and just for posterity’s sake. I usually forget to print them, though. This year I actual have several “self portraits” due to this blog, but [...]

A rare share of my weekend clothes. I got up early on Saturday morning, got in my workout, dyed my hair, fed the kids and then we were OFF! I have been trying to switch my workouts to be in the morning. Not only do I dislike working out…I dislike getting up early at [...]
The other day I was talking about skirts with one of my co-workers. I was wearing one that was just above the knee and she said she didn’t like to wear anything showing her knees because they looked “old”. Whaaaaaaa?? She’s a very cute, petite 40-year old woman who has nothing to worry about. I [...]
When taking family pictures, the clothing that everyone wears is pretty important. It can add or detract from the photos. I think the best pictures are the ones that show the styles of the period in a good way. This is why I generally choose to have all our family pictures printed in toned black [...]
I bought this dress the day before, and had to wear it right away. Yes, I am one of those cut-the-tags-off-and-wear-it-people. I have kids and too much laundry as it is, and this seemed pretty clean so I wore it. That’s how I roll. Anyways, this dress is a size 4. I have a substantial [...]
Lately I have been buying and then returning. I bought a couple of Spanx slips to wear with a tight dress that I bought at a low weight. Never a good idea…buying something at your low weight. I hope to wear it again, but I know it will be months. At least it was only [...]
Today in our society there is a decidedly casual atmosphere. Jeans and t-shirts are the order of the day, with a few yoga pants thrown in for good measure. If you work in an office, there are few and far between that still wear suits on a daily basis (law offices and high finance seem [...]
I am in a quandry. I apparently can’t go window shopping without buying the window. Often I want to just go try on clothes because I like clothes. I think to myself, “Don’t buy anything today!” I can usually manage to not buy. Unless it is jeans. For some reason I have a hard time [...]
The hubby and I booked a vacation someplace warm…yeeehaw! Of course, that means I will need to don a swimsuit. Oh dear. I seem to have acquired a few extra pounds during this busy season at work due to lack of exercise and lack of self control in eating copious amounts of chocolate, cheese, and [...]

I continue to struggle with getting older. I am, without a doubt, getting older. I have wrinkles. I have loose skin from my pregnancies and stretch marks. I have varicose veins. I struggle to accept that this, right now, is as good as it is going to get. I don’t want that. I want my body [...]
