Red- Orange Love is Going Strong…
Posted on: January 7, 2015
I have had a wonderful love affair with my red-orange jeans
and was wondering how much longer I would be able to keep this going
without being completely off trend…
In today’s pairing I chose to feature my new sweater from Kohl’s that
I used a gift card that my oldest gave me to purchase…
I am also featuring the cloche hat that style guru Angie Cox from You Look Fab,
recommended I try out to add to my hat collection.
This is a pin from Angie Cox’s board from Gucci’s Pre-Fall 2015 Collection…
I know this color is a true orange, but that doesn’t deter me at all..
This excited me that my love affair will continue strong through next winter …
Truth be told I would have kept going with my jeans through next season anyway…
I even celebrated by heading for a walk to the store to get orange lipstick..
Last time I wore this hat, my kids teased me about being like Mary Poppins…
I prefer to think of myself as more like Mary from Downton Abbey…
Note to self: after using flour to make calzones, check your outfit before photographing…
Wearing my Diane Gilman Red-orange Jeans was a wake up call for me today…
I’ve gained weight and they are tight on me… I really need to get my eating back on schedule..
It seems like I’ve been saying that since returning from Ireland, but not really following through..
After my kids head back to college on Sunday, I am going
to go grocery shopping to stock up on things to keep me on track..
I will go into more detail next week of exactly what my eating healthier looks like…
Gratitude
I am grateful that the Calzones turned out well and that my children all greatly appreciated my efforts.
I am grateful that I made plenty and will not have to cook dinner tomorrow..gotta love left over nights..
I am grateful that tonight is trash and recycling night, as with Christmas and kids home, both recycling cans and trash were Full…I am also grateful to my two youngest for taking on the duty of stuffing the last bits from the house today into those cans.
I am grateful for these last days with my children and the fun we have even making a late night Walmart run…
I am grateful that as I type this my three children all sitting behind me on the couches watching Divergent, it’s rare to find movies that they all like and are appropriate for the youngest…

Today I went to the mall with my son, to use gift cards
to complete a few more clothing items to his evolving style.
With it being a colder rainy day, I opted for my new red Poncho, a Christmas present.
I love this deep red color, a color I use to think didn’t work well for me…
I like the addition of the print top underneath, although a plain black top would look great too..
I really like adding either a scarf or long necklace with ponchos to create a vertical line, a trick for us petites…
I had to stand by my favorite tree without touching it due to the wet days we’ve been having..
I would normally have thought of my petite height and
opted for a pair of heeled black booties , rather than riding boots..
I, however, knew with the body aches
I’d been experiencing. that I wanted flats today..
I am also wearing my new Cloche Hat, found at Amazon Here..
My favorite stylist extraordinaire, Angie from You Look Fab,
recently recommended I add a cloche style hat to my style..
Dear Readers, I had a fun day with my son… anytime I get with just one child individually is special. When my son saw me in my new hat, he called me Mary Poppins.. I had to laugh when seeing the photos with the addition of the umbrella..
My body aches came back late in the day,
but not nearly as bad as they’ve been,
so guess I need to just take it easy…
Dear Readers, Have any of you had the bad luck of catching the virus or full on flu going on now?
Did you get any great fashion items for Christmas?
Would love to hear from you , please leave a comment…
Gratitude
I am grateful that my son and I had a great day together and that he found 3 great new pieces to add to his style.
I am grateful that my body aches are getting better and are definitely not flu related…
I am grateful that my oldest is definitely feeling much better and is on the upswing from his bout with the flu.
I am grateful for phone call from my sister in law today, love her so much..
I am grateful that everyone pitched in and helped clean up my kitchen today.
