black knit tops are my fashion staple

I've worn the green capris recently - but with a different black top.  (This is the one I spilled coffee on after putting it on for the first time.)  I like this top.  It stretches, has a good sleeve length, and a wonderful neckline.  Perfect for showcasing this gold locket that I'm wearing today...

The scene is my bedroom.  The mirror is on my dresser and reflects 2 of 3 thrifted chest of drawers  in our bedroom.  Note the large needlepoint hanging above them.  Also thrifted.

I could use a new paint job on the toe-nails, but this is how I'm going to the thrift shop this morning.  I usually don't go twice a week, but yesterday I found out that the $5/bag sale begins today.  I plan to get there fairly early to pick up some dress shirts for my son-in-law and whatever else fits into the bag!

To Maggie...

Maggie,

I confess to being uninspired since returning from vacation.  I didn't get back into a walking routine and within a couple of weeks, I gained enough pounds to make my clothes uncomfortably tight.

Well, the past three days, I have walked 30 minutes (slower than I was walking before), but at least I'm doing SOMEthing.

Meanwhile, this morning, this is the outfit I wore.

I am not visiting the thrift store so much.  My closet is full.  I don't need one more thing.  Perhaps I shall return to the stores in the future.  I DO miss it.  But my house is just too full.  I WILL be posting some of my favorite thrift store finds of the past from time to time.  I really HAVE found some "lovelies".  For now, I need to sort through my "stuff" and get rid of some to make room in my "head"!

Does that make sense to you (anyone)?  It was good to be missed.  I'll not neglect this blog.  Thanks for checking in.
