You never know what you'll find

If your memory is like mine you can easily buy something and especially if it is end of season, you put it away and forget it. Ring a bell? Anyone besides me done that?
I did it with this blouse and when cleaning out what I thought was off season, found the blouse and tried it on. I have been going through all of the closets in the house and eliminating anything I don't like or that doesn't feel good. Ebay here it comes. Anyway, I found a lot of things that don't fit. Since I have had a phobia of trying on clothes before purchase, I found a lot of things that didn't fit properly. It may be the right size on the label but does the armhole feel tight? Does it make my stomach look bigger or show a bulge I don't want shown? I am trying on a few things that I have had for a year. I have stopped taking off the tags before trying on because if it does have to go to ebay, a tag is helpful.

Anyway I found the blouse. The sleeves are short but that is pretty normal on the blouses I have had. Otherwise the blouse fits fine and the colors are terrific. From Stein Mart. I had on Avon earrings. I love them. It's funny that I have a lot of red jewelry but not too many red garments. I'll have to think about that.

Cold and Windy outside but.........

Inside I am dressed to go out. And I am not leaving the house till late afternoon. For a really short time. This time when the weatherperson said there would be wind advisory it actually happened. And I'm not complaining. There is not a bit of snow on the ground. So it definitely could be a lot worse.

I still have my cold but for the most part meds are doing a good job. I was able to get out to the movie yesterday. The Black Swan is a terrifically acted, terrifically produced and terrifically intense movie. It isn't the sort of film that makes me leave the theater grinning. It is definitely a movie that is a contender for the drama awards. Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis were terrific, stunning. It is so nice to go out when the movie is good and the weather isn't offensive. So of course I took no pics. I'm not used to this photographing everything.

Today, as I said, I am dressed to go out. All I have to do is add a coat and I am ready to move. However, not till later. I have on my staples, brown slinky slacks, walmart sweater. This sweater is not a sweater but a knit top made cardi fashion. It washes like a dream and I also have it in black. I'm wearing a top I got a Dress Barn. Exciting huh? They actually have some cute plus size things and the plus size market here isn't good. The shoes are xhileration ebay. The jewelry is some Avon, Lane Bryant, HSN, and jewelry store. I spent so long changing sizes that jewelry was the focus because it doesn't shrink.

I sometimes wonder what I am doing by dressing up on a day I won't be seeing anyone. But you know, I do feel better. I feel more free because if I do go out I won't need to hide. And because the mirror tells me I look pretty good. Yeah!
