Good morning, ladies Smile

Gotta get my coffee and get settled, but I'm here.. I think.

Not a fan of Stacy Ann's (sp?) wallpaper fern maxi skirt.

You know, when I was running through the local mall this weekend doing the mattress shopping I made sure to take notice of the fashions, even though I didn't have time to stop and shop. There are lots of maxis in very different styles than those sold on the Q. The ones in the store sit lower on the hips, have some shaping through the thighs, and they are available in rayon/spandex or cotton/spandex. I don't wear maxis because they just tend to get in the way for me, but the styles in the stores were nice.

I'm going to take a picture of the skirt I mentioned above (complete outfit for Runun). It's a nice rayon/spandex blend - you can't see through it. Cost me $20 and is long enough for me, even with heels.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Since I'm out of the shopping loop, do we know the date of the June Easy Pay day?

Hi everyone. I'm popping in for a half hour or so. After that I've got to get outside and work on some weeding.

I was off yesterday, and took the old folks shopping for a new mattress set, after doing some advance sleuthing on my own for a few days, since they are too frail for a search-and-destroy shopping mission. My father is just not getting any better; he actually agreed to go to the store in a wheelchair, which was a compromise; his first statement of the morning was that he would not go at all. Mom isn't doing well, either, but she looked like a marathon runner next to him. Anyway, they finally selected a set and it is supposed to be delivered on Friday. I've got a set of new, unopened deep pockets sheets that they can use, and so now all I have to do is get a deep pocket mattress pad.

I got the DG2 Bermudas, and they are somewhat disappointing. For starters, I don't believe the fabric is as substantial as the superstretch jeggings (skinnies?) that were a TS last winter, and which I ordered and returned. This fabric seems to be a lighter weight, very stretchy, and VERY prone to wrinkles. I sat down on the couch in the khaki ones this morning to have a cup of coffee and watch Person of Interest, and by the time that one-hour show was over they were all stretched out into a wrinkled mess. So the light colors are going packing back, and I will attempt to exchange the black and indigo ones for the next smallest size. If I am able to exchange the shorts, that will begin and end my summer wardrobe purchases. I returned the GILI backpack and bought a great tote medium brown tote (714-606) from ShopHQ by Prix de Dressage. It cost over $100 less and has great functionality.

I'm happy that your parents found a mattress set. I need a new mattress - box spring is perfect and I keep putting off the search. If the sales people would leave me alone while I mull - I'd be okay.

I had a feeling the DG2 shorts would be problematic for lots of people. I watched DG present while wearing an orange color (I think). She kept pulling out a part of the leg near the saddle bag region to demonstrate the stretch. When she let go - the short stayed out - like someone had stuck a walnut or something under the short.

Wink Yea, kind of like "I'm wearing a size 2 because they stretch half way around the block." Or at least that is my impression of them, after wearing them for a bit. I bought that last bootcut TSV because I wanted a pair of jeans to match the cucumber Talbots sweater, and I have to agree that sizing really is all over the map with this line. If I can get the black and indigo in my size, though, I think that those will be OK.

I ordered 6 pair of Gloria Vanderbilt colored jeans from Kohl's earlier this week. Need to return 2 pair this morning - the length was shorter than the others. Funny how they are all the same size, same fabric and yet.....

I ordered 4 pair based upon a size I had. Not one was sized the same; some were a little shorter and one was tight and one wouldn't even meet. I looked at the country of origin and each one was made in a different country. All four went back to the store.

The social host did it again - gave Leah credit for the outfit she is wearing. This new girl is either kissing up to the host, or embarrassed by what she is wearing. I have yet to hear her take credit for what she is wearing.

Like your way of thinking, Bird ... that is some get-up Leah's wearing. Just don't understand how she does it.

Sox - I used too many pronouns (lol). The new girl Stacey usually tells the audience that whichever host she is partnered with, selected the outfit she (Stacey) is wearing. When she did it with Mary Beth (in the beginning) I thought, okay. Now, every time she is on a fashion show with a host, she mentions that the host picked out the outfit she (Stacey) is wearing. I don't know why that bugs me, but it does.

If I were her (Stacy), I wouldn't tell anybody that Leah picked her outfit ... shoot, Leah can't even dress herself worth a darn. She (Leah) needs a real stylist.
