In which I prepare for winter

By on October 5, 2012

The day before I wore this outfit I had checked the weather and it was supposed to be in the 60’s.  Well, it was in the 70’s, so it was a bit too warm for the weather.  Oh well, I just took off the scarf at noon to account for the fact that I was […]

Fall colors

By on October 4, 2012

Well, this week on Project Run and Play, it is boy’s week.  I was already planning on making a s.w.a.p. for the Boy, so it fell in nicely.  There is sure to be some “boy suits” sewn for this challenge, but usually I try to make clothes that he will actually wear all the time. […]

Trouser capris…yea or nay?

By on October 2, 2012

In CAbi’s new fall line they had gauchos.  Really?  Aren’t gauchos about 10 years ago?  They aren’t coming back are they? I feel almost the same way about these capris.  Not sure if they are still “in” anymore.  Being that I am not in a fashion mecca, I seem to be out of the know […]

Teal and ruffles

By on September 30, 2012

Ah, more clothes coming out of their summer retirement.  I love this little french terry jacket.  The ruffles are the best part.  It works best when I have my hair up, but I have been lazy lately.  Mainly because I have been fighting a fall cold.  I hate those things! My hubby was out of […]

Snakeskin again

By on September 28, 2012

This was another outfit using my new skirt.  It was from several weeks ago when it was still warm.  No more bare-ish legs and arms for me!  It has definitely cooled down.  My challenge now is trying to keep up with the outfits when the weather turns cold.  I don’t like the inside pictures.  Not […]

A white dress

By on September 26, 2012

This week’s challenge for Project Run and Play was to use a white sheet.  I had one just sitting there, unused, in the linen closet a few months back, and decided to donate it. Of course! Unfortunately, I had to buy one for this challenge.  I got an ultra soft king sized cotton flat sheet […]

White after Labor Day

By on

This is a casual Friday outfit, and one that I couldn’t wait to wear.  I got these Lassen boots on sale in late summer (60% off, I think), and I just love them.  Lassen boots are like wearing slippers. Although I am working the white, it still seems Fall appropriate.  The weather man was warning […]

What time is your interview?

By on September 24, 2012

This is an outfit that could definitely garner that reaction.  I don’t work in a “suit office”, so wearing something like this is out of the ordinary.  I got this suit from CAbi’s new fall line.  I can definitely wear them as separates.  The jacket will look great with a pair of jeans and the […]

Why you will never see me with a bag/purse/clutch

By on September 22, 2012

I have a friend that has about a thousand purses in various different colors.  They are very pretty and, at times, I think about how I would love to have such a variety. Then I come down to earth again. I don’t have the time in the morning to switch out bags to coordinate with […]

Yep, it’s a Friday

By on September 21, 2012

This was my Friday outfit.  It is casual day at our office, so that means jeans.  Jeans are a little uncomfortable for sitting at a desk all day…so jean skirt with LYCRA! The night before I went out dancing with my girlfriends, which is always a fun time.  I love, love, love to dance.  I […]
