Americana

Happy July 4th!  We were racing to beat the rain taking these pictures and we just made it!  Phew!
I saw my jacket in a Kate Spade add and loved it, but didn't love the price.  They marked it down and then took 25% off the markdown price and I struck.  Kira doesn't like the jacket.  I told her it's a good thing she doesn't have to wear it then because I do like it!  Have a great holiday!

I was too tired to post last night, so here's what I wore to work yesterday.

Saturday Should Not Be A Work Day...

But I had to go in all morning.  I was the only one there and it was a bit creepy.  I took these shots when I got home.  At least, I was comfortable!

It Was Ironed

I ran into a friend of mine at Kira's soccer game this morning and she very nicely complimented what I was wearing and then apologized for what she was wearing.  I felt kind of bad because I don't dress to make other people feel bad.  I honestly just like clothes.  My friend looked extremely comfortable and warm and I envied what she was wearing because of that.  Today's outfit was literally thrown together at the last minute and consists of things that didn't look bad enough to have to iron because I had to go get my car's oil changed this morning and then rush off to her soccer game and I didn't have time to deal with it. 

Dave came into the room while I was taking my photos and he bum rushed the camera.  He'd kill me if he knew I shared this with you, but if you bum rush my camera, you get what you deserve!

The Jacket Purge

 

I bought three, yes three, new jackets from the Gap recently.  One is kelly green, one is lilac and one is bright yellow.  I was in my closet yesterday getting ready to put two of the jackets away and finally realized something(s) had to go.  I spent a chunk of last night pulling out all the jackets and getting a pile together to donate of things that I haven't worn in a couple of years.  I tend to hang onto things a little longer than I should because you never know when you're going to need a particular shade of something, but I don't wind up wearing a lot of nice things because everything is crammed in there.  I guess I had my own intervention last night.
