etc.

I forgot to mention that I love fashion but try to do it on a budget and only wear a few "uniforms" consisting of only a few pieces every season (fall/winter and spring/fall).  My closet is only 1 row about 4 feet long.  I don't keep much...life is too short to pile up.  Scarves, jewelry and vests are my favorites!  I own about 4 pairs of shoes...

confessions of a reformed shopaholic

Today, as has happened most days when I am out an about, girls and women my age comment on what I am wearing (or how I am wearing it).  Today I was at Pike Nurseries buying pansies (for my window box) for the fall, and the young check out girl and the middle aged woman behind me loved my little desert boots with lace white socks and my vest/ levi jeans/ turquoise necklace and of course my signature reading glasses on my head!  I told them the boots were from the little boys section at Lands End at the Sears store. You see I have an uncanny ability to nail what is going to be "cool" for the next season.  I wore my little suede desert boots all summer with rolled up boyfriend jeans (from jbrand) and white lace socks....everyone loved them but no one could quite imitate the look!  I love being older but still cool!!!!
