It Feels Like England

It's gray, chilly and damp.  Just a couple of weeks ago I was hoping

for cooler weather.  Well, you know the old saying .... we got it!

It feels like England, but I have turned on the heat, yes, the heat.

I wore sweaters this weekend, and am wearing one again today.

We don't get the cool, crisp days here in South Texas, but I will

take what I can get.

David plays golf despite the weather.  He just puts on a rain shirt and

heads out to the links.  Bentley and I, being more sensible types, stay

inside and stay cozy.  

This cooler weather has forced me to ditch my shorts and sandals,

and go through my winter/fall wardrobe.  I love Fall clothes!  I have

also realized that I need some new jeans, so I spent all weekend 

scanning the online shops for some new ones.  I have a tough time

buying jeans.  It is always my least favorite item of clothing to buy.

I am super tiny, all 5' 1" of me.  Yes, I cling to that inch for dear life.

I am also thin with teeny tiny bones.  I probably should shop in the

kids department.  The clothes would be cheaper, but thank goodness

that many women's fashions now come in petite.  Yet, buying jeans

is always a struggle.  I like them to look trim, without being too

tight, but I certainly don't want to swim in them.  

A few weeks ago I ordered a pair of "girlfriend jeans" from Talbots.

I was apprehensive about my purchase after I hit the buy button, but

they arrived and I love them!  I will probably have to start a 

fashion feature to show you what I buy.  I ordered a second pair of

jeans from Talbots too, in a different style, and they fit well too.  Now

I know where to go.  I realized I have a couple of blazers too that have

been hiding in my closet.  I decided to send them to the cleaners and

start wearing them too.  

Working from home has made me very lax about my wardrobe.  I

tend to live in sweats.  Comfy, but hardly fashionable.  I need to step

up my game, if for no one but me.  Fixing myself up really changes

my attitude for the better.

That's all for now.  I am actually (hard to believe) in a organizational

mood today.  I have to take advantage of that mood when it strikes.

Have a great Monday, and we'll connect again later in the week.

Big Texas Hugs,

Susan and Bentley
