Thanks, Joy! As much as I do enjoy dresses, pants are my go to. Nodding in agreement, Suntiger and Jaileen-except on the most humid days, I find them comfortable as long as they’re breathable (like cotton) and loose fitting. Thank you for the overall love, Denise, KKards, and Staglaire Fash. - I think these are easier to style because they’re shorts. They’re great for chores (hide dirt/easy movement) in fact, I wore them to replace my dad’s stove hood!
Thank you, Synne, JamC, April, Preppy Pear, RobinF, Irina, Helena, Nemosmom, Mirjana, LisaP, Nikki, Slimcat, Chewy, Suz, Laurie, rachy, Dottie, Shevia, Sally, Jessikams, UmmLila and Phoebe! You are all very kind and I’m glad that I can provide some summer dressing inspiration
Murph and AJ: Haha! Guilty! Summer footwear is a weakness! I don’t like to spend a lot in this department because they never seem to last more than a couple of seasons due to wear and maybe sweaty feet? WIth the exception of my Birkenstocks and Sofft slides, I’ve rotated most of my older pairs out.
Angie, Jonesy, Sharan and Sal: Thank you! I’m always tickled to hear that I have a signature style! I can see it in others but it’s much harder to define my own except that I know what feels like “me.”
@AJ: Thanks for the hot flash tips. Do you mean “keto” or just low carb? My diet is fairly low in carbs already--not sure that I would want to deprive myself of anymore.
@Brooklyn: The gold pants are old Gap joggers. They’re 100% cotton and very forgiving in fit! I have a hard time styling them--they seem to only work with black.
@Angie and Jonesy: Oreo gave us quite a scare. We couldn’t figure out what happened to her--all of a sudden she was having trouble walking and was moping around the house. Couldn’t make it up the stairs or onto the couch or even get her up to get a treat--and she loves treats! Took her in for X-rays and they couldn’t find anything but the vet said that her back was very tense and prescribed anti inflammatories, muscle relaxants and low activity. It took two weeks before she seemed any better but now she seems back to her normal self--thank goodness! We’re so happy to have our girl back!
