Pantone may be calling Emerald the color of the season, but

seems like Cobalt is more popular right now!

Spent the day at the mall with a friend and her daughter! 

All the pics for today are by 7 1/2 year old “niece” .  

In front of the Target Red Wall before I took off my Trench coat…

I bought nothing today, can you imagine????

I really love these brown jeans by Diane Gilman with the zippered sides….bought last year and worn a lot!

I also think I forget how versatilve my snakeskin purse can be….

I feel gulilty sometimes that I can’t lead you to my purchases, but as a bargain shopper, most are found on clearance and gone before I can do so…  I hope that my style is inspiring in colors, cuts and combinations that transfer to others. 

Orange Halloween Wall!  

Love that I can take a sheer top and layer it with a jacket to make it more versatile and work for more than one season! 

Dear Readers, i love spending the day with my best friend and her daughter and due to chaos in her life and my homeschooling schedule we’ve gona a month without seeing each other.  I hate that and apparently so did her daughter who privately chastised me and told me I was her mother’s best friend…. Hope things calm down and we can do better going forward as I know that it’s not just about my freindship, I am Auntie Tracey to this little girls as well. 

Gratitude

Okay, obviously the first one has to be spending the day with my friend and her spunky daughter!

I am grateful that the rain died down and I was able to walk across from the Mall to take the little one to a movie while her mother was taking a test for a job.  

I am grateful that my DD cleaned the kitchen for me today since I was goine unitl 8 pm!

I am grateful that my youngest did the homeschooling assignments I left for him.

I am grateful that tomorrow is Friday and the weekend is almost here! 

I am grateful that “my niece” trusts me and told me something she needed to get out and asked me to share it with her mother!
