I prefer big earrings, but they catch in my mask and specs so frequently!.<br />Love your colourful dress, so amazing print, and totally understand the problems of climbing in and out an automobile wearing a tight long dress (been there, done that).<br />Lovely skirts too, and fab 80's bijouterie!, and you rock it in red!. Woww, you look so fab betting everything on Red!. <br />I think that you look really elegant in your usual outfits, perfectly appropriate. But it's just an opinion from the far more casual Europe. <br />Lovely embroidered blouse and fab earrings, and you look really more Yourself in this specs!<br />besosSeñora Allnuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01403540346998939207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-75746818032443104012021-04-07T12:35:11.366-07:002021-04-07T12:35:11.366-07:00@Emily

They ended up cancelling our jury duty so I'm excused until next year. It all worked out pretty well. <br /><br />@Beth<br />The jury duty was excused (we have a phone-in system to see if your group will be called) so I'm out of it for at least the next year. That brown dress would have been distracting for an Omaha crowd. Too bad I don't own any fleece. <br /><br /><br />@Vronni<br />Thank you. Danny found me an earlier appointment so I get to go on Friday for a one-and-done vaccine. I'm so excited to finally be getting it. <br /><br />@Beate<br />My biggest worry about sending Danny abroad is that he'll be miserable once he comes back. He's already let us know he wants to move as soon as he finishes school. I understand of course, but he's my baby. <br />I like your idea to shorten the dress-it would look good just below the knee. <br /><br />@Vix<br />We were excused from duty, so that was a relief. People are so conservative here that brown dress would have been too distracting. I had a white cotton blouse and a navy polyester skirt that hits mid-calf waiting in the event I had to go. I'm glad it was cancelled. <br /><br />@Ann<br />Danny found me an appointment for the 9th for a Johnson and Johnson vaccine so I only need to get one. I have to travel to a less familiar part of town because they're holding a vaccine clinic for people that work in the meatpacking houses nearby. <br /><br />@Gail<br />It is a rather timeless style of dress. I get my corsage on Mother's Day, but I usually have to buy it for myself! <br />Goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-63408271024189711392021-04-06T08:46:28.765-07:002021-04-06T08:46:28.765-07:00Your garden tour was a lot of fun.

There is so much hope and promise at the beginning of the season. <br /> <br />The plain black dress is a basic cut that never EVER goes out of style . I bought a sewing pattern a few months ago at Joanne's that has an almost identical profile. Your corsage really does the trick along with the big buttons and beads to bring it to an interesting vintage level. Every Easter my parents would give my Grand Mothers an Orchid corsage to wear that day. As a kid I always thought the simple pearlized stick pin used to secure it was most fascinating.<br /><br />Best Wishes,<br />Gail from Pa.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-64085111742605997182021-04-05T10:46:18.673-07:002021-04-05T10:46:18.673-07:00I always love seeing your round-up of outfits, and...I always love seeing your round-up of outfits, and like Vronni, I'm swooning over that 1960s maxi. I too wore short sleeves for the first time last week, although the outfit I wore won't make it to the blog as it was one of my office days. I did take advantage of the warmer temperatures to do some gardening. I was emptying some pots when I spotted two self-seeded colombines in one of them. These were planted out in the garden, although they have established themselves all over the garden. I even bought some new varieties, and am keeping my fingers crossed for them to mingle!<br />Glad to hear you'll get your first vaccine on the 11th. I haven't got the slightest idea when it'll be my turn, but Jos finally got news on his, and his going for his first on the 17th.

Y...I'm already excited about Danny's trip! <br />Your comment about having nothing to wear for jury duty made me snort as much as Beth did. Like her I thought the brown dress would be perfect.

Amazing jewellery and bags.<br /><br />So glad you've your vaccination coming soon and well done Danny for working so hard.

His focus on keeping his life on track is extraordinary, given the distractions of 2020!<br /><br />Your remark, "I have jury duty...I have absolutely nothing to wear", caused me to snort my coffee. Do hope you'll consider wearing that luscious chocolate brown Indian cotton dress for jury duty, with or without the heavy frosting of lapis. (The earrings might be a tad too frivolous?) My own experience in the box has been that something warm and loose is more comfortable that anything that requires stockings.

And your hair in that photo is magnificent!<br /><br />I saw my first dandelion of the season about three days ago, as well as other flowers that sprang up practically overnight. It's hard to believe spring is really here, and vaccines too. How exciting is it that you've got an appointment lined up! It's also very cool that you've made arrangements for Danny's trip in 2022. It's like planting a seed of faith in the future, something we all badly need.<br /><br />You're a level-headed person and you'd make a good juror. Have fun, and I hope you don't have to be there too long. Emilynoreply@blogger.com
