My improvisation



When we went on our minivacation a few weeks ago, we were not prepared for the cold weather they were having. I attended an event to which I wore flip-flops. As we arrived at the event, it began to rain. After standing in a vendor tent for about an hour and a half, we left to go get something to eat. While we were out and about, I stopped at the dollar store and purchased socks. I don't even want to confess this . . . but here goes . . . I wore black argyle socks with a pair of silver flip-flops. I know, I know . . . Stacy and Clinton would not approve!

The next day we were going to be attending a different event so I dug into my husband's suitcase to improvise a suitable outfit. I already had a purple polo shirt, skinny jeans, black ballet flats and a mauve canvas conductors hat. I knew that wouldn't be warm enough so I borrowed his black hooded sweatshirt and his black leather belt. I don't think it turned out too bad. I stayed warm and I think it looked pretty good considering it was an improvised outfit.

Welcome to the dollhouse!

I have stumbled across a fun website. It is www.polyvore.com. It is basically like an online dollhouse. You can register for a free account and create your own "sets". The site has various clothing and accessory options (that most of us could never afford) that you can use to create a look, including makeup and perfume. My favorite "sets" are (of course) the Audrey Hepburn looks that have been created.

I will eventually join the site and start creating my own "sets". Right now, I'm just a lurker.

My new perfume

I have started wearing a new perfume. It's called "Halle by Halle Berry". It smells wonderful! It's warm and soft, maybe even a little woodsy with a dash of spice. I don't know how else to describe it.



Now if using the perfume would just make me look like this . . .




Or perhaps this . . .
