Shopping, gifts from afar and those close to home
I need to update my wardrobe. I have somethings that are literally over 10 years old. Because I have a 'classic' sense of style (or at least *I* believe I do - I mean sure I have some risque things but not a lot...) luckily things last me a while...however outdated and frumpy as well as frayed isn't a 'chic' look...
Erin and I talk about everything but we both have a somewhat artistic bent and 'good eyes' when it comes to style, colour etc. So we share what we think would 'look' good on each other and ideas about clothing.
Of course I need to shed some pounds cause with all the stress I nibble and we eat WAY too much popcorn cause Erin is a popcorn gourmet....
Anyhow I thought I'd share some of the items I was looking at on line.
These are all 'party' dresses - not that I go to a lot of parties - but the holidays are around the corner...
I am most likely going to order this one - it is lovely and it is really inexpensive:
These other two are really retro and I just wanted to share - I am probably not going to purchase - but they are fun nonetheless:
Lastly - I kind of love this jacket - again not sure I'd purchase it. (Mainly I just want to go shopping with Erin):
On a sad note...last night the gold chain on the cross my love bought for me broke - so I need to find another chain for it - I always feel 'naked' when I don't wear something he purchased for me in the way of jewelery.
Today at work my co-worker - a lovely woman who hails from the Ukraine, returned from her trip to the Virgin Islands. She brought us all some precious-tropical wood beads - they are just gorgeous - like worry stones only different. She also brought me a very special gift. I had brought back some Bailey's Irish Cream from Ireland for her - so for me she bought me a bottle of red wine that is from her country - she was able to find this wine and apparently it is very difficult to find here in the states. She told me that it is only for me to drink - 'only red wine for women' - she said. We hugged. I adore this woman - she is a really interesting and lovely person and her way of explaining certain things is always delightful to me. It is so nice to be blessed with such interesting and wonderful people in my life.
