Got it done

I really thought I wouldn't be able to post till tomorrow. But the running around I had planned was put off by me because it's just too juicy outside. After it stops raining I may get out.

Meanwhile, I think I would really make a splash if all we were supposed to wear was black. Boy do I have that color covered. Pink, not so much. But I am pleased by the outfit anyway. I found the top at Penneys last year. I really like the color even though on my color chart it is a no no. What got my attention was the stitching around the neck. I had tried to get rid of the top because it isn't the type of thing I want to wear. The gathers and all sort of make it part of what I am trying to get away from. But I couldn't let it go because of the stitching. It sort of reminds me of things from India, both in the gold threads and the pink. Anyway, I'm sticking with it. There is stitching around the bottom too but I don't notice that so much. This is my first entry in the color blogging.

Ruffles, ruffles everywhere

One of the new tops I got at Kohls was a dusty pink totally ruffle covered t top. I would usually have left such an item on the rack but it was on sale, and there were the ruffles. I have avoided pink for a long time, thinking it would make me look washed out. And this time, I actually bought the top in black also. You see I love ruffles but most garments have ruffles down the front and they are often quite large. So no ruffles because of the oversized girls I have on my front. And I worried for a good 2 seconds that the small all over ruffles would make me look fat. But Hey, I am fat.

I also have been looking on Overstock at the flats and I found that some I got several years ago are the same style as the ones I wore with the ruffles. I got a kick out of that. Styles coming back and all. Also there are pics of some of the jewelry. The earrings are Avon and the necklace is Mark by Avon. Avon has terrific jewelry and it lasts forever. When I saw the top a black bead necklace came to mind and I am so glad it works and that I already had one. I have so much jewelry I will be selling quite a bit of it on ebay. I can't believe how much money I spend with no thought at all. You would think I am rich. Well, not so much. I might be if I still had the money I have wasted trying to feel better about myself. Didn't work so good but the blogging is helping lots.
