Yoda is wise. “You are so good at that! I can’t do that!” I hear this from my daughter from time to time, and different versions from adult women around me when I am working on some project or other. I have a hard time sitting idle, so I usually bring something to work on […]

In one of my favorite groups on Facebook, we try to help ladies figure out their shape and how to dress for it. I think I have this mainly figured out at 42. I know as I get older it will all change again, though. The Admin, Becca, wanted us to post what we will […]
I am going to be changing this site in the next week or so. I have had three blogs for a pretty long time. I have a personal blog which has become overrun with sewing, and a photography blog that has been long dormant. I want to keep my personal blog just that, so I […]
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 […]

Running around casual wear and some body musings

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 […]
