Well, the original plan was to get in some exercise by wallking on the boardwalk at the oceanfront…

The weather report called for rain , so a change of plans was in order…

What better way to walk than for two lovers of fashion to hit the  Mall?

Threre is nothing easier than to add black and white to a colored jean.

With stripes, two colored oxfords and even the textures of the jacket create interest,

I felt great during my 4 hours walking the mall and looking at fashions.  

I am keeping the promise to my husband to wear these shoes when out with friends or myself, but to refrain from wearing them with him…. Guress they are not date night appropriate anyway.  

I don’t care what DH says, I like these oxfords…

I had a pair of black oxfords when I first met DH and he didn’t like those either…..

I actually liked this ensemble and would definitely wear it again!

Dear Readers,  I know Pantone declared Emerald as the color of the season, but I think someone forgot to tell the designers..Every designer I saw in the department stores had Cobalt as a main color in their collections. It was everywhere! 

Is anyone seeing a strong representation of Emeralsd in their malls?  

Gratitude 

I am grateful to have a friend who loves fashion and  just window shopping as much as I do.

I am grateful that my daughter got an amazing job yesterday that will not only allow her to save for next year , but is also applicable to her field and will look good on her PHD application! 

I am grateful for my DH who brought home sparkling cider to celebrate her new job and that we all sung her ‘For She’s a Jolly Good Fellow” while she grinned and bore it!  

I am grateful that today(Saturday) I will be spending the afternoon with my best friend and her daughter,

I am grateful that our outing for the day is shoe shopping for the seven year old, there is nothing better than watching a little one delight in new shoes… Well there are better things but this one tops my list!!! 

Dear Readers I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!!!
