I still have not worn this jacket outside of the house.  Today, I am making myself, although I technically haven’t left yet, so there’s still time to change my mind LOL.  I really love it, but………

That usually means it’s time to let a piece go, but I can’t quite bring myself to sell this jacket until I give it a fighting chance, and I feel like I don’t need to be so brutal with my purges as I have been in the past, so I’m going to hold on to it through spring to see if I wear it when it’s more seasonally appropriate.  (it’s been warm here the last couple of days though…)

I saw a woman at Trader Joe’s wearing these Nike sneakers yesterday and stopped her to tell her how amazing they are.  Side note: if you ever wonder whether or not to say something to a person you think looks particularly radiant, or is wearing something interesting, or whatever, DO IT.  I stopped her and told her her shoes were so good, and she thanked me, then asked if I thought she was too old to wear them, or if they were too much.  I said hell no (she looked around 50? very stylish and chic, not at all Dallas-y LOL) and she should rock them.  We exchanged names and talked a little more and she thanked me for helping her to “move on” from her concerns.

Of course, I sought them out when I got home because I LOVE them, and she assured me that they’re comfortable.  But I’m not buying any new leather right now, so I didn’t order them.  I might have bought this pair instead, made from synthetic material, but they’re sold out in most sizes.

I did receive the two bodysuits I ordered from Madewell yesterday (this one & this one – both medium). I haven’t worn them yet, but I will say I like them much better than the Everlane one (I do already have Madewell’s turtleneck bodysuit and I wear it A LOT).  As I was wearing it yesterday it started riding up a little so when I was out in the parking lot I discreetly reached around to dislodge it and the snaps came undone!! Oops.  Haha, no one noticed of course, but me, but it wasn’t very comfortable like that for very long…


I am slowly reading Sophie’s Choice right now. So slowly, I don’t even know what her choice is yet!! And no, I haven’t seen the movie.  I’ve only had time to read at night, in bed, which means I make it through a couple pages before falling asleep.  Other than that, I’m not reading or watching much lately, at least not consistently.


Tonight is my husband and sister’s company holiday “party” so there’s that.  haha… so excited about it.  I will probably wear the new Madewell wrap bodysuit with my Rachel Comey jeans; it’s casual attire.  Hopefully this weekend I can catch up on my reading, and photography for new products at slowre.

What are your plans this weekend?
