@Joannadyne Hugs to you :hugs:. Whenever I see your pics, I think beautiful, witty, and fun! So don't be hard on yourself. Your DH is a dear for making that suggestion. Imagine if we took care of our bodies like we do our scarves and handbags :yes:. I believe it's more important to be healthy than being at a specific weight. That would mean having physical check-ups and blood tests, and correcting any issues with one's doctor. I for one don't particularly like to exercise. I love to walk and used to walk/run on the treadmill but stopped awhile back for a number of reasons. We recently purchased a stationary bike because DH started having knee problems running on the treadmill. Boy, I really like the bike and was on it for an hour this morning. So, find the time and an exercise you like and follow your DH's suggestion and treat your body like a treasure because we and your family believe you are worth way more than any croc Kelly :heart:
@BBC I love everything you have on! Your VCA earrings are gorgeous!
@gracekelly Very stylish outfit. The ruffled top is perfect!
@papertiger Sophisticated Visionary! Fabulous! Love that you matched your nails to the jewelry.
@Sheikha Latifa You look amazing!!!
@cafecreme15 I love your top! It's such a great length. May I ask the brand?

I thought her character matured throughout. I loved it went she went to France and wouldn't take no for an answer. When she ran off she realised almost immediately she was even more unhappy. The upper-classes were full of crazy people who married for all sorts of reasons apart from love, I could believe the games though most played discretely and after the dutiful 'heir and a spare'.

I haven't seen the other 2 series but they sound interesting. I watched half an episode of Gossip Girl years ago and then realised no amount of fashion could make up for no plot or character study.

I just saw her as a horrid manipulative person. If you think she matured, I would have to say that I did not pick up on that at all. I don't think she changed much and sort of floated through life on her own terms, some of which were not very pleasant for other people.

It's Banana Republic! I think I got it on sale for $45 or something like that. Here is the link!

Update from this morning: I managed to change out of my pajamas to put on leggings and a t-shirt. Have been posted up on the couch for the last 3 hours. Except now my friend wants me to get dressed and come out with her, but its snowing/freezing rain out so I'm not really about it. Ugh, the price of being social sometimes...

@Cordeliere Hugs to you :hugs:. Best of luck on your surgery. It will definitely be worth it. When I'm at home, I wear my usual black comfy knit pants, white t-shirt, and a hoodie. Not elegant nor sexy, haha!
@scarf1 Love the colors with your top. Glad to see csgm represented here!
@Cookiefiend I love your casual chic outfit. the neck scarf and bag are perfect touches.
@Genie27 Great colors on you. As for the knit dress, I would add a thin belt similar in color to the stripes of the dress and a long necklace. Add short jacket or sweater and keep the boots.
@papertiger Looking forward to seeing your outfit for the exciting upcoming event.

Did I miss it? :amazed: I couldn’t post at work but managed a quick shot out the door this morning. I feel like a cheater as well since my outfit is basically as comfortable as pajamas. I added the coat for drama and wore lipstick for at least an hour!

I had a last minute wardrobe snafu-
I was wearing a silk skirt and nude nylons but it was pouring rain outside.
Therefore, not dressy but my casual is still feminine, which reads as dressy to most (lucky for me). I do like the feminine/masculine leather jacket, and my first in action of the Diorever (worn in its less attractive but more practical configuration = open top).

Congrats on the bag! It looks perfect on you. I like mixing things like that too.

This dress is incredible on you! So gorgeous.

I'm so sorry about your knee Cordie, I can only imagine how much pain you are in. I'm sure you will feel so much better after your surgery and will be able to take on the world/your fabulous wardrobe again. Thinking of you :heart:



If I don't have to leave the house/am just running to CVS or something I am ALWAYS in sweatpants, old t-shirts, or lounge clothes. I'm currently watching college basketball on the couch in my pajamas. Perhaps at some point I will feel motivated to change into leggings and a t-shirt.

I remember you giving me feedback when I was deciding/researching to keep it. I was a bit freaked out because it was an expensive impulse buy, not sure about quality/useability etc.

No regrets other than a wish for an equally well cut (additional) above-the-knee one.

I hope a beautiful knee length Mink finds you. In a clean elegant cut, with the glossiest Ebene shade. I think that would turn heads! :girlsigh:
