THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE

It is always nice to visit everyone in Tennessee, but I am really glad to be back home. I haven’t seen Joe in a week. I think he might have forgotten what I look like. He left last Sunday, going on a little golf outing, and came home on Thursday. I left on Thursday and came back on Sunday. But all is good; at least there was someone home every night and we didn’t have to get a “doggie” sitter. If we travel without the dogs, we have a lady come and spend every night at the house. Most people would call this a house sitter, but the house can take care of itself. We want the dogs looked after, and kept company. Lol!A quick story before we talk about today’s outfit. My brother-in-law, J.D., was of course in Tennessee to watch my sister give her speech. On Saturday we were out getting gas in mom’s vehicle after my granddaughter’s dance recital. J.D. was driving, so he was the one who got to pump the gas. Us women are pretty smart. Haha Anyway, after he had paid for the gas, we went to pull out. A white car pulled out in front of us, and they might have been moving a little slow. So, he fussed a little under his breath about slow-pokes, and don’t they know which way they are going, then he decides to go a different way to hopefully pull out in front of them. No such luck, he is still behind them as we approach a stop light. Luckily the car is turning in a different direction. J.D. then declares that the God’s are smiling down on him. About that time, my mother looks over at the white car, and starts waving frantically. It is her SISTER!!! I thought the entire car was going to lose it. We laughed so hard. Mom couldn’t wait to call her sister to tattle, but they had a bad connection, so he was spared. That is till now. Guess who reads my blog? Hahahaha I just outed him.I thought I would stay with the blue theme I had going yesterday. Today’s blue is cobalt. This blue flyaway tank top is several years old. I bought it from Old Navy, along with the jean jacket. I didn’t buy them at the same time, but you get the idea. I have worn this jacket several times, here with a graphic t-shirt and here with linen pants.

Blue Tank Top: Chico’s | Racerback | Plus

Jean Jacket: Old Navy | Plus (cropped) | Style & CoThese white jeans were purchased last year at the end of the summer season. They were on clearance, and I didn’t pay very much for them. Items like this are perfect to pick up on clearance because you know you will wear them for years to come. The cobalt blue faux suede pumps are from Old Navy, and they are several years old. They still look this good because they are not the most comfortable shoe I have ever had on. They are fine for going out to dinner, but not for wearing all day long if you are going to be on your feet.

White Jeans: JC Penny | JAG | Plus

Blue Pumps: Ivanka Trump | Calvin Klein (these are the one’s my sister wore here)You guessed it, these are the ones that I ended up wearing to work. The blue ones would have been fine for a couple of hours, but there is no way I could have worn them all day long. This leopard print pair are by Isaac Mizrahi and I bought them at the outlet store in town.

Leopard Print Flats:  Lucky | Dr. Scholl’s | Sam & LibbyI thought the caramel leather Dooney & Bourke satchel looked better with the ballet flats. What do you think?

Caramel Satchel: Similar | Similar | My jewelry is a mixture of Chloe & Isabel and Stella & Dot. The tassel necklace, tassel bracelet, and earrings are Chloe & Isabel. The gold link bracelet is Stella & Dot. If you would like to purchase anything from Chloe & Isabel, please type my name in the Find A Merchandiser slot at the top of the page. Before I forget, remember my speedy brother-in-law that was so impatient on Saturday? He was just as impatient on Sunday as he and my sister were traveling back to Atlanta. This time, instead of my Aunt being the one to slow him down, it was the “police.” LOL!!! Do you think he has learned his lesson?
