I really don't want to talk about it.
We can change the national bird to the cuckoo. Feels more appropriate.
We've been having some absolutely wild weather. This storm produced 110 mph winds, tennis ball sized hail, and flooding. We missed the worst of that one. The river is
overflowing as I type. We live outside the floodplain and at the top of a hill, but parts of the city have been getting clobbered. *Sarcasm* At least we're no longer in a drought.
Couldn't make it to the Chicken Show in Wayne this year, but decided to wear my rubber chicken purse anyway. A good waterproof bag makes sense in this weather.
Such a silly thing, but it does make people smile when I wear it out.
Might as well post a few outfits. You've likely seen most of it before.
Layers are nice. The dress was too short for my comfort, so I improvised.
LillyAnn jacket
Still wearing Dan's shark shirt
Not vintage, but the print certainly looks it.
Not my sort of thing, but it cost .98 cents at the thrift store and I can keep it out of the landfill. Maybe I'll wear the top as a turban and go topless😆.
So good to see you blogging again, Goody!
ReplyDeleteI've missed your fabulous outfits - Instagram just isn't the same - and your wonderful sense of humour! xxx
So nice to read your post . Your outfits are all interesting . I really like the stripe over dress with white skirt the best . It is a good solution to a common problem of too short dresses. . Very elegant.

fabulous dresses - all of them!!
ReplyDeleteand the famous chick purse too :-D
i would cut off the top of the junmpsuit - the trouses look good on you and the fabric is pretty...... and one always needs a turban....
as for democracy - europe is stepping back into the 19./early 20.century - fascists are risin in ever country. even "normal" people start talk stupid things and if one is not on their line that person gets declared an enemy......
i´m glad i´m quite old.
love to you! xxx
Welcome back to Blogland, you've been missed!
ReplyDeleteThank f*ck the Great British public have seen the light and finally got rid of that bunch of b*stards - I've been elated since 5am yesterday.
Great round-up of outfits, the Hawaiian maxi is my favourite! xxx
Your outfits were fabulous. Too many fab ones to choose a favourite but the rare dress is up there - and of course the rubber chicken bag! I want one! I don't have words for what happened in the USA either - I think we might need to start praying...
ReplyDeleteThank God we have a new government here; the Tories have run every part of our infrastructure into the ground and it will be some job to build it up again; so good luck is needed amongst other things.
I am liking the longer hair - are you growing it out or will you cut it short again?

Oh hi! I found your blog just as you stopped posting. I am so happy to read you again. Thank you for sharing your recipes and the CLOTHES! Olivia in the PNW
ReplyDeleteYou’re back! With rickrack! YAAAAAY!
ReplyDeleteYay a post, I've missed your humour. xx
ReplyDelete@Ann
ReplyDeleteThank you!I appreciate the kind words.
@Gail
Thank you. I know there's no expiration date so to speak on short skirts, and at my age my mother still looked great in minis, but I'm always more comfortable not worrying about bending over!
@Beate
The pieces are already apart, so it saves me the bother of cutting.
@Vix
I'm really happy for you (and the rest of the UK).
@Vronni
I've been too lazy to get a haircut and at this point I might as well grow it out a bit.
@Olivia
Thank you, and welcome.
@Propagatrix
Not sure if I'd say I'm properly back, but I will try.
@Miss Magpie
Thank you, that's very kind of you.
ReplyDeleteIf I hadn't seen your email this morning, I wouldn't have thought to check your blog to see if there were any posts this month! So glad to see you're back. I especially love the LillyAnn jacket with the sleek black tank dress. The pink and white ruffle is such a whimsical detail.
I haven't taken my rubber chicken purse anywhere in a couple of years, and now you've inspired me to take her out of the closet for my next supermarket trip. She puts a smile on everyone's face.
With all the drama happening on both sides of the political aisle, I have no idea who will be our newt President, but hey, the UK is looking really good right now. I hear they even passed a law that requires everyone to microchip their cats, something that I greatly respect as a lifelong cat lover. My neighbors and I are trying right now to capture a stray cat that showed up two weeks ago. His previous owner never went to the trouble of neutering him, which means they probably also failed to get him a chip. On the bright side, he's a sweet, good-looking boy, and apparently healthy, so I imagine someone will want him if we can't reunite him with his original family. I'm praying that we can catch him soon and have scanned for that incredibly important chip.
Stay cool, my friend. I'll write to you soon!

I need to stop by more! You're back (ish)! I have that same Betty Crocker cookbook from my childhood and remember being confused about all the American stuff in it (being Canadian). Your rare dress is African - they show up in the thrift stores here sometimes. I love your beautiful outfits - that dress/jacket (chef's kiss) and YES to a turban out of the top! All of these are new to me!
