These events took place on Sunday, January 16, 2016...
Meeting this morning! It is dress up time! I've read other blogs and these girls dress up everyday of their lives... I swear. Not only is that impractical here (currently the high of the day was about 20 degrees and baring my legs too long is not very comfortable), but I also live in an area where dressing up doesn't happen very often. I live in a poor, farming community, and survival takes precedence over fashion most of the time. A few days of the week where I can dress up is at our meetings....
Have you ever lost something in your closet and a year later you find it and are like, oh yeah! I forgot all about that blouse, skirt, .... jacket!? Yes, my jacket! I bought this beauty about a year ago from ModCloth. It went on sale. I had to have it. It matched a blue and red jacket of the same design and style - but those were full price. I loved how people styled the other colors so I snagged this one for a deal!
As I was outfit searching, I found this mulberry jacket. I paired it with my newly found black bouclé skirt (free!). I love matching shoes and accessories, and also throwing in an unexpected color. I love mulberry / burgundy / purple with yellow - so I threw on my pale yellow blouse and then added my gray belt to go with the gray in the jacket. :)
For lunch a friend took us out to lunch at a local Chinese buffet. Delicious! We came home and watched the rest of the football games. It was a long and satisfying day. :).
