QM, great week! I love to hear about where you are wearing the outfits, it makes it more fun to imagine you wearing them places

The cardigan is so pretty. I can see it being a great piece for fall. I wasn't too sure on my skinny cargos but they get alot of wear. They're a nice alternative to jeans.

I need to find a canasta group. It sounds like fun!

OK, not to be dense, but what does RATE mean?

Whatever it stands for, you look terrific! I'm really loving your jeggings and boots, and the skinny cargoes. I like that they are cargo style without adding bulk in the thighs (not that you have to worry about that!)

Laughed about your comment about the style level of the DMV!
BTW, You look too young to have a son getting his permit!

aww, thanks Parsley... that is a fabulous compliment and actually the son who was getting his permit is going to be 18 this week (don't know actually what he was waiting for). RATE means "rough around the edges" it's a term we have coined here to refer to an outfit that is usually deliberately unpolished.
My thoughts were the same about the cargoes.... something about the cut keeps them from adding the typical thigh bulk of standard cargoes.
