COOL MORNINGS OF SPRING
Happy Hump Day to everyone! When Wednesday comes around that means it is time to start planning the weekend. Now that it is spring/summer we can start doing more outdoor activities. I hate cleaning house but I could work outdoor all day long. I won’t, but I could. Lol! I know the greenhouses are probably bare because Mother’s Day was last weekend, but I still might make the trek and see if I can find a pot or two to put out on my back porch.
It is also time for me to go and buy some ferns for the front porch. I am tired of this poor little shrub that I take my pictures with every day. Here is the problem, I hate watering and feeding plants. I like buying and planting plants but I am not great on the upkeep. I usually buy Coleus plants for the back porch and just ferns for the front because of the ease of care. Yes, I am lazy! (aka busy)
I know some of you get frustrated when I wear items on the blog that are not available in stores. I am sorry but I am just like you in that I wear my items more than once and I keep them for years. I would love to be able to have Nordstrom send me a different outfit every day (at no charge of course) so that I could wear them and just send them back. Lol! Until that happens, I will just keep trying to find a similar item for you. Today’s shirt is one that was c/o Purple Poppy. Here is where I wore it last but it looks so different with jeans. This top is still available (here) and it is called the Whimsy Rose Abigail Tunic Desert Bloom Blush. Whew, that was a mouthful! Lol! It is a lightweight tunic/tee and it is perfect for these cooler mornings and nights.
I don’t really like these jeans. True confessions time. I thought I would and bought two pairs when I bought them, a dark pair and a lighter pair. These are the Boyfriend Jeans from Old Navy and I just find them overall too baggy. I saw my DIL wear them once and asked her if she had lost weight. She just laughed and told me that they were the boyfriend jeans. If you want people to think you have lost weight, then these are the pants for you. Lol!
On cooler days in the springs and even on some summer days, I like to wear a cardigan. I love cardigans for their warmth and also because they make me appear thinner. Both are really good reasons. Hahaha
Do you know what my number one referrer page is? It is Pinterest! I truly appreciate every time you “pin” a picture. Heck, pin ALL the pictures if you want. Lol! Also, if you would like to share my posts on Facebook or Twitter, I would appreciate that. It helps get my blog out to more people, and I am sure you just want to spread the entertaining sayings I have. Lol! The comment section is at the end of the post, so keep scrolling. I look forward to reading all the comments, they make my day.
Be sure to follow me on Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook.

Well, it’s snowing here in Montana this morning! I’ve probably lost my tomato plants, darn it. I’m retired & most often hang out in jeans & tees. Your blog has inspired me to get out of my rut & buy some cute tops for summer – five so far! Thanks for the encouragement from afar!!
Really like the style with the long cardigan. Cute!
Hi Tania
Love love love your outfit today!! You look amazing as always 🙂
I can relate to your comments about the reader that looked forward to your posts as a way to help ease the pain of losing a loved one. In the last 3 years I have lost both of my siblings to the HORRIBLE “C” word. Both the same age when they passed, the latter one burried on the first ones birthday. You always have that great smile on your face, and your words make me smile and give me strength. Thank you for what you do, and know that not only are you helping people with fashion advice, but also are a ray of sunshine to those who are hurting.
God Bless You
Brenda, I am so sorry for your loss. Those words do not begin to tell you how bad I feel for you. I cannot even imagine losing a sibling much less two. You turned on the tears again today. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your life.
Love your blog & fashion. I love having your “saves” to try and copy what to wear. I look forward to see what you will have on each day.
So how Les this Posse work? I don’t quite understand it but I love your things!
The Posse is a subscription service like Birchbox or Ipsy. You sign up and you will receive the Posse from that month. The day you sign up is the day your next shipment will ship out. By signing up later in the month you will have plenty of time to see what the Posse for the month will be. You can go in and cancel your subscription if you don’t like the item. When next months comes out you can easily sign back up if you want that one.
I look forward to your blog every single day…no pressure meant here, haha….not just for the clothes, but the ‘conversation’ you have with your readers! It’s more like talking to my best friend on the phone, what’s going on in her life and what she’s wearing that day! You will be keeping me lots of company too as I’m having back surgery soon and have to wear a brace 3 months, 24/7. I get inspiration from what you wear, NOT that I have to own just that!! Love your Sunday posts as well. ?
Sondra, back surgery does not sound like fun. I hope you have a speedy recovery.
As another Virginian I love your comments about the weather, even though I am a few hours away I feel like you are my neighbor. As for gardening the only thing I seem to have luck with is herbs and they look great in pretty pots. I leave all the other gardening to my husband. You are so real! We all have to wear our clothes over and over. That is why we look to you for inspiration. On any given day I can look in my closet and recreate your look for that day. I also like the fact that the clothes you wear are so affordable. Thank you, Bonnie
It is going to be beautiful here today, Bonnie. I am glad that you use my outfits as “inspirations” and can recreate the look from your closet. 🙂
Tania, I seem to regularly comment on your outfits because I enjoy seeing your combinations. However, today I am commenting on your makeup, hair and those lashes….your face is glowing. You look so vibrant my friend!!!! ~Lisa~
WOW!!! That could be a commercial for Rodan and Fields. Hahaha!!!
You always look terrific! Love your stories as well as your fashion. Although I have lots of jewelry, I don’t wear a lot. But I’ve acquired a small bracelet wardrobe…thanks to seeing what you wear. One of my favorites has a small “believe” charm & one that says “my story isn’t done yet”,,,to remind my kids that I may be retired but I still have lots of dreams to fulfill & things to do!!!
BELIEVE is my word of the year. There are days when it believing is hard but I shake it off and go back at it. I love the “my story isn’t done yet” that is very cool.
Oh you’ve just reminded me of my own garden – only I decided to get my plants once I come back from visiting my Mum in NZ as otherwise there’s a high risk of them dying in the interim…
Have posted today about the Home and Away outfit – you might like the read, plus you get to see a little of my garden 😉 http://funkyforty.com/home-away-outfit-one/
