Yes, I know I can’t help myself..

I love a maxi!  

In both a skirt and dress version…

Linking Up today with High Latitude Style

I never get over the humor of how I use to avoid these like the plague,

thinking they were terrible for my petite height!  

This is a Cato brand dress I bought from No More Rack and wore a lot last season. 

Still liking my new haircut…

I also liked wearing a simple,

much loved sapphire necklace my husband gave me years ago. 

I am noticing that there are more ways I haven’t thought to style this maxi. 

I will definitely try to pick out the orange, yellow and purple colors with shrugs or jackets . 

Dear Readers, today my husband and I met up with a childhood friend of his who came to town with his daughter’s Lacrosse team.  In our short time of living in Massachusetts we lived with him for a few months when things weren’t working with my in-laws.  We then moved back to Virginia , thank goodness… i know after losing his brother five years ago , that my husband has a huge ache he carries with him and seeing old friends who knew him is healing. 

So today, that’s my one Gratitude ,

for my husband to see his friend today and to be meeting him again tonight.
