Fashion Nervous Breakdown

It’s snowing again.
A. Gain.
We have had constant snow and storms since late January and all the good-natured “Hey, we survived!” “Hey, spring is here!” “Hey, we sure are going to have quite a clean-up this spring!” “Hey, anyone with a chain saw is going to be really popular around here!” remarks have given way to grunting expletives as we dig out the car again, pull on the snow boots again, bundle the kids up again, and wipe the dogs’ paws off again. I was feeling like I’m not ready for Easter and then it occurred to me that an early Easter will be wonderful, as there is that psychic shift that comes at that point in the year when we say, “Easter is past, spring is definitely HERE!”
It betta be.

Anyway, I had a Fashion Nervous Breakdown yesterday — for which I can only blame the dreary weather and austere New England landscape — and arrived at the church office looking like a very generously-proportioned Easter egg. With a mop on its head (!?). I am now buying clothes online using a macys promo code which makes much easier.

What you can’t see in this photo is that I was wearing turquoise stockings.

Yes, I repent.

And I have put myself in the Naughty Corner.

It won’t happen again.

By the way, I am very happy with my Warby Parker glasses. They cost a third of what I would have paid at the optician, and Warby Parker donates one pair of glasses for each one that they sell.

  1. Oh, no! We need the color boost right now after all this grey weather and dreary cleaning up. I’ve been alternating between a pair of bright green and salmon pink jeans for a couple of weeks. They look great with black turtlenecks and boots. Perk up the black coat too. I smile. People smile and sometimes even say, “Love that green” .

  2. Thank you for the morning smile…turquoise stockings…didn’t even know you could buy those…

    I’m eagerly awaiting the arrival of my first pair of bifocals…I guess that means I’m officially a woman “of a certain age” 🙂

    LOVE the frame you chose. GORGEOUS dahling!
