Shopaholics One Day at a Time (Fri., August 9th)

Bird mama · ‎03-12-2010

Good Morning all It's a beautiful day here in my part of the country.

I slept with a couple of windows open (just a little last night) and it was a pleasant 76 degrees in my house when I awoke. The sun is shining, there is a light breeze blowing, the birds outside are singing and chirping up a storm and it's not going to be hot or humid today.

I did buy something from the Q earlier in the week. It was a reorder necklace and earring set that was offered by Louis Dell'Olio early last year. I was still working at the time and the option I wanted sold out with lightening speed

I'm looking forward to receiving the set because it was highly rated by people I trust in the Q community.

I'm out of soy milk and there's a sale on wild bird seed at Meijers so I think I'll get my list together and do some grocery shopping this morning.

Since I will be visiting two funeral homes this afternoon/evening I was thinking about wearing this blouse with navy slacks and taupe colored espadrilles. Does this outfit look too casual for a funeral home visit?

@Bird mama, Perhaps a solid blue blouse and different shoes. IMHO. Don't know what my op is worth.

Bernie--Thank you for starting the thread. Enjoy your jewelry puchase. As far as the outfit for the funeral visitations, I think that might depend upon your area. I think your selection would work here as would Providence's.

I slept very well last night but still am tired from the activity of the past two days. Right now, I'm watching IM and enjoying my cable again. It is amazing how often I look at that cable box to see the correct time. The only Q purchase I made this month was t he PTR TSV. I have a weakness for his products. I have an auto delivery now that I really enjoy but wanted to see what this one was like.

Hi Jean @KonaKat When it comes to funeral home visitations, I will wear greys, browns, blues and never blacks. I've always been like that, even for my own family members. I don't dress like I am going to a party however for me it is a celebration of life.

I swapped out the blouse and shoes The blouse is more tailored to my body and you know how I love my shabooties.

Bernie--I like your choices for the funeral home. I agree with you about black. I rarely seen black now at funerals. In fact, when I recall my mother's funeral, I didn't wear black but a dark blue.

I wouldn't mind having a wig to see what I would look like when I am solid gray. My mother at 90 had a mixuture of gray and dark brown.

Jean @KonaKat if I didn't do something careless earlier this week that resulted in an ugly bruise on my forearm just above the wrist, I certainly would be wearing one of my new sleeveless blouses and 3/4 sleeve shrugs that I bought from JCP a couple of months ago.

As it is, the bruise is at the funky green/yellow stage and I'm trying to hide it.

Bernie--You could always treat the fading bruise as a conversation piece. I am on blood thinner so I can get bruises and have no idea when I did it.

I am just seeing the TSV presented "I am woman; hear me roar!" I think I'll pass. I don't need any pants right now, especially animal print ones.
