With today, being such a gorgeous spring day, I couldn’t help but embrace it through clothing…

After all fashion is my current artistic expression. 

Last Spring I wanted dark floral pants, but never got them as I just never found a pair that sang to me.

This navy version from Ebay sang to me due to the price, since I wasn’t really sure floral pants were going to me something I loved.  When it comes to trends I want to try, but am not immediately sold on, I tend to do so very cautiously , spending the least amount of money I can.  

I must say that with Asian sizing I bought the XL and they have a lot of stretch. The XL size chart listed it at 37 inches for hips and I am at 39.  I might have been able to manage in the Large, especially with my new push to lose weight…

My poncho and necklace were also purchased from Ebay, but last year so not available. 

Since the day was so beautiful and my sinus meds had kicked, I decided to take advantage that my homeschooler was off with my husband doing his private bowling lesson, and headed for a walk to the Dollar Tree.   

A cross-body purse was in order, so what better one to choose than my Harold Feinstein blue butterfly one, as it is one I bought in remembrance of my mother, who comes to me in butterflies. 

I bought mine from QVC,  a few years ago and after searching found a few options on Ebay, here.  

It was so nice to get out of the house after two days of sitting in my pj’s with sinus issues..

This is typical March for me, where mornings are rough and things get better later in the day.  

I am glad I took a chance on these floral pants and really liked them a lot more than I thought I would.  

Dear Readers, Have you tried the Floral trend or do you intend to?

Gratitude

I am grateful for a wonderful day of walking in the sunshine and remembering my mother as she was such a big walker. 

I am grateful that I started my son on a speed reading course for homeschooling today, in hopes we can increase his speed in the next few years to get him ready for college. 

I am grateful for my strong faith and knowing without a doubt that I am here to be a light in this world. 

I am grateful for my blog and how much writing this gratitude journal has increased my happiness levels these last few years.
