This is what I wore yesterday for the homeschool bowling ,

now that the parents are done for the season, I can wear whatever I want!   

I have to say I loved the pink bag for a pink and purple look…

One thing I know about myself is that although I’ve made such great progress in my style.

and have totally succeeded in pattern matching and trying new silhouettes,

and perfecting a wonderful wardrobe for my lifestyle.   

One thing that has held strong with me and seems to be the hardest to break is bringing in 

an extra pop of color with shoes or handbags.  

That matchy-match gene is strong in me….

I am so excited about finally replacing a white denim jacket.

Since my weight loss it’s been a missing piece for me that I longed to replace. 

This cropped version by One World is so right for my petite height

and I am so glad I waited for the right one. 

Dear Readers, I bought one item for my upcoming Vegas trip…

I couldn’t help myself!  

This is a Joan Rivers from QVC, and I am going to style it

with a plain black dress that converts from a dress to a skirt.  

That is going to be my outfit for the Neil Diamond Concert… 

I actually loved this jacket in the black version, too..

Gratitude

I am grateful for the fun and anticipation of the Vegas trip and quality time with my husband.

I am grateful for the anticipation that in just two weeks I will have my college kids home!  

I am grateful for a wonderful conversation with my best friend, as we haven’t talked much lately…

I am grateful for the fun of the homeschooling group each Wednesday, it truly is a Godsend to a homeschooling mother of a strong willed teenager..
