WIW: It sort of feels like Christmas

Veteran

I had a health "thing" in November and have had to reform my ways. Mostly I had to give up carbs, especially wine. I'm over it though. The good news I can wear this shirt that I haven't worn in a few years. So it feels like Christmas - I have "new" clothes! I also discovered it's the same shade of blue as this vest. So I wore it today, to have lunch with a friend, to celebrate her birthday. The rest of the outfit is completely unremarkable, mainly because I had to work with the weather (rain and 33 mph wind).

It's fun to rediscover clothing, isn't it? I'm swooning over the color of that vest. Happy colors like that should be easier to find. (I thought I'd be opening this thread to find a red and green outfit with maybe tinsel in your hair, lol.)

More swooning over that vest going on. I know it is not easy to cut carbs, especially wine ( and beer here in the land of great breweries). Wishing you joy in your "new" clothes.

Donna, Joy, thank you! It's funny, I wore this vest to the doctor in November, complaining that it didn't work with my wardrobe.

Glad to hear you're doing better. It's so hard to cut out carbs! Good for you for doing it, and wow how great you look!

Deb, I was looking up trying to explain why wine was bad for me, and apparently it's not. So thanks! I think I still better skip it and beer anyway, because my BMI was marginally too high.

Fun shopping your holding zone. Lovely shade of turquoise and sweet photo bombing pup too.

Every cloud! Lovely blue. I bet it suits your colouring.
We are having another 40 (105) plus day today. All the blinds are drawn at work to save power (on cooling). There is a concern that there could be blackouts, it is so hot here. Tomorrow - more of the same.

What a pretty shade of blue, and it looks great with that fresh plaid. Glad to hear you are doing better. And maybe an occasional glass of wine will be okay. Life without carbs would be hard for me. But you do get used to things, I suppose, when you need to.

Angie, thanks! That's "Bob Barker". I would actually change his name to that, but our next door neighbor is named Bob, so I wouldn't be able to call him.

Brooklyn, thank you! The heat sounds terrible. They were forecasting power outages here, too, but due to high wind.

Firecracker, thanks! This shirt is the first spring item I've worn. The yellow in the plaid is the same color as a crocus.

Shevia, thanks!

It may feel like Christmas, but those colors say "spring" in a lovely way! Your dog's name is hilarious!

Who's that cute little photo bomber, btw?

Rachy, thanks! That's Mr Skunky's brother, Bob Barker. He thinks he's the Alpha. Mr Skunky lets him think that. These are their nicknames, not their real names.
