Happy St. Patrick’s Day!  

Green use to be my favorite color and for the longest time I owned a green leather sofa….

I always think of that sofa when I wear my green leather jacket , my birthday present to myself last year..

My color is no longer available, but check out this season’s version in Blue

I don’t wear blue jeans very often… 

These are Levis that I’ve had forever and once my weight gets back down and I maintain it for awhile

I need to be on the hunt for a perfect pair, it’s the one whole in my wardrobe that I didn’t even try to fill, as I wanted my weight to stay in the same range for a year before indulging in that illusive item.  

I set that as my reward.. so guess I am starting back to square one…

One of my reason’s for loving green is that it was my father’s favorite color….

Silly, but even as a 12 year old who had just lost her father, I remember finding joy on the day of

his funeral when the cars that came to take us to the service  were green and so was the hearse…

Isn’t it funny that I sat down to write with nothing in mind

and out came my connection to my father 

 through fashion and color…

Dear Readers, Since I post pictures the day after I wear an outfit… I will be wearing another green outfit since it will actually be St. Patrick’s Day… A different shade that doesn’t hold the memory this one does… 

The remainder of this week I will be beginning a

Style Challenge by Angie at You Look Fab for her forum members

to style outfits using 5 different Picasso paintings as inspiration.  

Gratitude

I am grateful for my walking partner who is gung-ho and up for walking daily, and even suggested bike riding together today.

I am grateful for my Fitbit and the motivation to get 10,000 steps each day, it motivated me to jog in place while cooking and my going for a walk to the store twice helped too… I was suppose to buy Feta and accidentally bought blue cheese…

I am grateful to my dearest friend and hope that I can take her up  on her invitation for a sleepover and going to church with her. It will be a nice end to the week after sending both my daughter and son back to college over the last two weeks.. so hard to do…

I am grateful that I remembered to get the chocolate graham crackers and cool whip to make the one point faux ice cream sandwiches to keep me on track this week.  I forgot several times to buy these….
