I'm Hungry for Fashion

Thank goodness Gabi decided to feed my need for clothes and
Shabby Apple really hits the spot.  I won Gabi's giveaway at Hungry For Fashion.

I just love this Spanish Steps dress.  I can't believe it.  I just posted about my need for something new to wear this morning.

I love the vintage/retro feel of Shabby Apple designs.

Stop by and visit Gabi at Hungry For Fashion.  She has fashion fever and we're lucky enough to get to see her everyday dressing style because she takes a picture for us.  Thanks again Gabi.  I just can't wait to get my dress!

I Don't Want To Be Famous I Just Want Out of My Pajamas

Why is it so difficult for a woman over 40, well okay if you're going to be picky, over 50 to find an article on fashion that's suitable?  

To be honest I'm getting stuck in a rut.  I don't go as much as I used to and I'm finding myself a lot more comfortable in my pajamas than clothes.  How do you still look good at home?  Do you have a fashion style at home?  Would you be embarrassed to have a neighbor pop over?  

For the past, I don't know how many years, we have remodeled the house, landscaped the yard and anything nice or at least decent I didn't want to wear around here and ruin.  Now I've gained weight and need new clothes.  How can I dress comfortable with out going to the old ladies department or the Blair catalog (no offense if you shop there).  All I want to wear is elastic waist bands, at least at home.  I also want it loose and comfy but am tired of not looking put together anymore.  So if you have tips or want to share, I sure would like to hear how you deal with it.

I did think this was a cute and cool (as in weather wise) dress.  I'm not sure where I found this one.

I swear it seems like it's been as close to impossible to find what I want when I go on the search engines.  I always end up being there forever.  My actual request was just to find, wear around the house and errand clothing.  Yeah, these shorts are a little short for me.  And even that's getting difficult because I'm petite and look really short in long shorts but at 50 plus you don't want to be out in really short ones.

   I believe I got the next two on Newport News or maybe Talbots but I'm not sure.

I love this pop of color with the khaki.  The next pair of shorts look like just the right length. But to be honest I could only wear that coral top if I was going to be in a/c all day.  Way to hot here to wear much more than tanks and tees here in Florida.  Which leads back to the question, how do you look pulled together when you have to keep clothing to a minimum.

This last outfit is one I put together myself at the Target website.  I just found that.  It's so cool!  It lets you put your own outfits together.  You pick the top and bottom (or dress), shoes and accessories. And then you save it to their page and you can share it with others by putting it on facebook or your blog.  You can even view what everyone else puts together. What a great way to shop! 

 

 Ya'll have a beautiful, cheery day.

Hugs...Tracy :)

New Kid Catastrophes - TJ and The Time Stumblers Book Review

I just had the opportunity to read "New Kid Catastrophes - TJ and the Time Stumblers" by Bill Myers.  This is the first of a 6 book series which I'm sure to buy more of for my grandkids.  I loved this book and can't wait to pop it in the mail to Ki'a and Zack who are 8 and 10 years old.  Although they aren't in seven grade yet like T.J. (a girl by the way), I know they can already relate with some of the same issues of friendships in school.  Who's popular, who's not, and all the other growing pains that come with it. 


Of course by the end of the story there's a moral involved which makes this not only a fun read for the kids but provides them with a life lesson too.  Hopefully it will even help them to deal with their school years.

From the Back Cover

TJ Finkelstein is your average seventh grader trying to survive junior high. Average except for . . .Just moving from the Midwest to crazy, money-is-no-object Malibu, California Becoming mortal enemies with the school’s most popular girl, who stars on the Dizzy Channel Oh yeah, and being followed around by two goofball boys from the 23rd century!!!That’s right—Herby and Tuna have traveled back in time to study TJ for a class project. Unfortunately, she is the only one who can see them. And unfortunatelier (don’t try that word on your English teacher), their “help,” which involves using whacked-out 23rd-century gadgets, only leads to more mayhem and plenty of side-splitting laughter.Join this unlikely trio as they stumble into one hilarious catastrophe after another . . . while accidentally learning the importance of such core values as love, honesty, patience, and kindness.
