Shopping My Closet
I see a lot of articles and blogs talking about “shopping my closet”. My outfit today is a great example of doing just that. This oversized cowl neck sweater is one that I have had for quite a while. When my husband and I wear first starting to date, I bought a couple sweaters to wear on some of our dates. I bought a brand new sweater (I have it stored away somewhere) to wear on our first date. I was so thrilled, and anxiously waited him to pick me up. Just guess where he took me? 
He picked me up and we drove to the college campus where he was going to school. He needed to go inside for a few moments and do something in the computer room. Three hours later we finally got to leave. By then I was tired and just wanted to go back to the house. Can you believe we not only had a 2nd date, but we got married? Lol!
This sweater is one that I bought when we were still dating. Since our 30th anniversary is this November, that makes this sweater about 30 years old. I always wear it at least once a year. It never fails to bring a smile to my face.
I am leaving to take my daughter to the airport at 3:30 in the morning. So, I am sorry, but this blog is going to be mostly pictures. Every piece in this post has been worn before, with the exception of the sweater. 
If you don’t mind, I would appreciate it if you would say a small prayer for my daughter’s safe travel back to Alaska.
If you want to know where something came from, just shoot me a comment. Sorry but it is 9:15 and I am off to bed. I promise tomorrow’s blog will be better.
Be sure to check out yesterday’s blog for my 4 month giveaway.

Praying your daughter made it home safely. Your sweater is timeless and so pretty.
What a great sweater…still absolutely beautiful after 30 years. Love that! Prayers for your daughter as she travels back to Alaska. I know you will miss her.
I am missing her so much already???? But on the other hand, I do have a clean kitchen for the firs time in about a month. Hahaha
Beautiful story and beautiful lady! Prayers for your daughter.
Truly a great sweater, and you wear it excellently!

Prayers for your daughter and you – I know what its like when they leave going home. I love your outfit. I can’t believe you still have that sweater! Its beautiful!
Love the long necklace with all the charms. Where did you get it?
Thanks everyone for your prayers and kind words about my daughter. She is en-route to Seattle as I type. The long necklace I have on is on from a lady who sells on etsy called Artistic Icing. Here is the link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/artisticicing
Safe travels for your daughter! Love the sweater. I keep things forEVER too! (husband & clothes! ha!). The layered necklaces look great!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who has a few older pieces as keepsakes! Love it! Chip and I are just behind you and your husband. We will celebrate 28 years in August.
Praying for travel mercies.
