I have received a few hand-me-downs in my life, and my favorite was a black Ann Taylor jacket that zipped up the front made of heavy polished cotton with collar and cuffs. I have (eh, hem) out-grown it, and it is a bit too worn to wear anyway. But, I so enjoyed having such a quality jacket to wear, that would dress up or down nicely.Charm and Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930920593855400694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-71063928692813751032017-05-03T16:45:38.255-04:002017-05-03T16:45:38.255-04:00Glad you got to get together with Bea.

Sometimes it's nice to have a friend who can express different thoughts on things--keeps life interesting. <br />I live in mock turtlenecks--they are my favorite to wear with jeans and I happen to like black a lot--I'm a former New Yorker and black is the NYC wardrobe...lol! My least favorite color to wear is pink, yet my daughter is always buying pink things for me. I guess she'd like me to wear color more or maybe she feels old ladies belong in pink?

I looked down at my black shoes, black pants, and black jacket. Hmmmmmm. Anyway, I would love to wear turtlenecks because they hide a 'multiple of sins,' but they strangle me. I have to go for a scoop neck which reveals my ancientness. Hope you have a good week. We're forecast to get snow tomorrow. I'm hoping they're wrong.Cranberry Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758563068581561194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-22361322535510354562017-04-30T10:41:41.559-04:002017-04-30T10:41:41.559-04:00A "lot" of weight? 😳 Since when?

I wish I could get my hair to lay like that at that length.<br /><br />I love friends like that -ones that challenge your thinking without berating you for your own thoughts.

I recently cleaned out my closet and see that I have about ten shirts in there for summer, so it looks like I will have to make myself go shopping. Have a great weekend and I hope you are clear of these bad storms.

I have a friend who does the same and what a treat it is, as it's usually top quality stuff which I would not splurge on myself.

What fun it must have been to make your way through that pile. I do believe that black turtle neck makes you look younger or, perhaps it's the straighter hair. Heck maybe it's both. Those pastel shells hold so much possibility in the coming months.<br />During my junior high days I was thrilled to receive bags of hand me down clothes from a very stylish cousin. I would look forward to our family get togethers for just this reason. I hadn't seen that cousin for decades. However, when we were reunited at a wedding last summer I told her about this memory. She told me that sometimes she wasn't done with the clothes but her mom packed them up anyway. Lucky me :).Happy@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748146424809856063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-40219703231725620432017-04-27T19:08:20.709-04:002017-04-27T19:08:20.709-04:00Love that pic of you Vee!Love that pic of you Vee!Deborah Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04366855994841922862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-53345361886592210152017-04-27T18:44:04.041-04:002017-04-27T18:44:04.041-04:00I like friends that you disagree with and still re...I like friends that you disagree with and still remain friends.
