ADAPT AND IMPROVISE

Joe and I are two wild and crazy guys. Lol! We have an upcoming anniversary on Tuesday and it will make 31 years that we have been married. We have been discussing all week long that we should go away for a long weekend and do something. Discussing is all that we have done. Every time one of us comes up with someplace to go the other one has a reason why that place wouldn’t work. Some of the excuses have been, “It’s too cold there,” “I don’t want to put on a bathing suit,” “What is there to do there, it is boring,” and the best one of “what would we do with the dog?”So, instead, Friday afternoon I went and got a much-needed manicure. Then I came home and we ate leftover chili for supper. Nothing says romance like leftover chili. Lol! Then I sat down to write on the blog but I was so tired that I laid my head over on the dining room table and soon fell asleep. Joe let me sleep for about 15 minutes before he started moving around and woke me up. I think I will contact my sister and ask her if she thinks I could write a romance novel. I just need to insert a white horse, some rose petals, and maybe a long-haired bare-chested prince. Hahaha! Joe just asked me if he needed to start letting his hair grow out. Lol! I am just like a lot of you, there are days when I don’t want to get all dolled up. AND, there are times when I travel and don’t check the weather first. Both of those things collided here. When I went to Atlanta last weekend I never even thought to check out the temperature. It had been cooler at home and I packed accordingly. However, a heat wave decided to hit Atlanta and it stayed 77 to 80 the entire time I was there. Long sleeves and sweaters were pretty much all that I had packed. This was last Sunday when I was getting ready to drive back home. I had packed something different to wear home but it was going to be way too hot for that outfit so I improvised. I bought this top when I was in Charleston at Ann Taylor. I wore it the other day with a pair of leggings but today I thought a pair of jeans would look nice. I had originally planned to also add a black velvet jacket to the look but not with the 80-degree temps.

Because I am traveling I did not wear a lot of jewelry. I have a pair of Sam earrings on from Plunder. I like these silver earrings and my mother did too. She had me place an order for her after seeing me wear them. I think the polka dot pattern is enough so I didn’t wear a necklace. I added the simple Maggie bracelet of silver beads. I am wearing the Rockstar jeans from Old Navy. This pair if the highrise version in a tall. Because these are the tall jeans I have rolled the cuff up a couple of times. Once again, this was not what I had planned on wearing. I had planned on wearing a black pair of knee boots along with the jacket but it was just too darn hot. Instead, I am wearing a pair of navy ballet flats by Isaac Mizrahi. These are comfortable and great for traveling. Plus, I don’t have to worry about the heel getting hung on any of the pedals.

I think I am out of items to discuss. So, instead, I am going to talk to you about sharing, pinning, and enrolling. I am really trying to gain readership and subscribers.
