HOW TO EXTEND YOUR WARDROBE
I have enjoyed being at mom and dad’s house. We were on the go a lot but I still managed to get a lot of nap time too. Lol! On Tuesday night we went out to eat with my DIL and all of the grandkids to celebrate Matti B’s birthday. Mom and I were getting ready to go and she was grumbling about needing some new clothes. “But, I don’t want anything frumpy. I don’t want to look old” was what she told me.
I told her that I knew a fashion blogger that she could follow who might help her. She didn’t say a thing. Then I told her that I might could even talk that blogger into going shopping with her and helping her to pick out some clothes. She sat there for a minute and then said, “you mean you???” I feel like Rodney Dangerfield, “I get no respect!” Lol!!!
Remember the tie-front sweater that I wore in this post? I think that this must be it’s brother because they are so similar. The tie part is just on different sides and of course, they are different colors. Lol! But, the easy-going style and the comfy material is the same in both of them. This was in a Trunk Club shipment last year and it is a sweater that I grab all the time.
I am wearing the Tegan earrings today. They are a beautiful seafoam blue color and they have a 2″ drop and are set in goldtone. They look great with my necklaces but unfortunately, both of these necklaces have been discontinued and are no longer available. The good news is that the Maeve bracelets and the Heidi ring are still available. The Maeve bracelets are a trio that each have something cute dangling and they are on an elastic band so they are easy on and easy off. The rings are so nice and heavy. You will love these rings!!!
I am wearing a long maxi-dress under the sweater and treating it like I am wearing a skirt. This is one way that you can extend your wardrobe to get more wears out of your clothing. This dress is a spaghetti strap maxi and normally you can’t wear that in the winter but when paired with a sweater it takes on a different look. This dress is really long and I decided to tie the ends together to make it shorter and to give the dress a different look. What do you think about the tie? Is that something that you would ever consider doing?
This is starting the month of being Thankful! I am so very thankful for all of you who take the time out of your day to read my blog. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I am going to try and ask you to think of something that you are thankful for each day. Today, I am asking you to comment on what kind of candy you are thankful for. After all, you probably have a bunch left over from last night. Lol!

I am thankful for a merciful God. And Hershey’s cookie layer crunch mint chocolate candy. Mmmmmm
I am thankful for the homeless kitten we took in. He brings lots of playful mantics and gives us lots of love.
Your Mom’s comment, “you mean YOU” is hilarious! Yes, we often do not get enough respect from those closest to us. I enjoy reading your post each day!
I am thankful for almond joy
Love how knotting the dress ties in with the knot on the sweater! Lindt Dark Chocolate Excellence bars are the best–70%: as my girlfriend says, any amount higher tastes like dirt! I’ve also become addicted to caramel M&Ms, so I rarely buy them. Usually a square of the Lindt bar will satisfy me. You and your mom are so funny!!!!!!
I am thankful the Lord created all the ingredients for someone to make chocolate, and then gave someone else the smarts to put a cherry inside! Chocolate covered cherrys are my favorite!

Oh I LOVE this outfit and I’m going to look for a copycat dress to use to come up w an outfit like this. I love that bright blue sweater! My fav candy as a kid was the dark chocolate Orange Sticks and I just found a box at Marshalls!
I’m only 4”11 so the tie wouldn’t do to well on me,but looks great on you as usual! My fav candy is milk duds and I’ve always worked in dental til I retired lol! I’m sending my left over candy to Operation Gratitude,they send it to our troops over seas,some dental offices also are involved and will pay you per pound for your candy and they send it to the troops…
I am thankful for Hershey’s milk chocolate in any form. Keeps me going through the day.
Love your daily blog! CHOCOLATE <3
Oh brother, I love to indulge in a little fun size Milky Way. The good old Dollar General has packages of six and I can make one last for about two weeks. Sometimes longer. I love to see other women in maxi’s. I wish I felt more comfortable in them.
