EVERYONE NEEDS A GOOD HANDYMAN

Guess what??? The dishwasher is back up and running! Joe is such a mechanically minded kind of guy that he can usually fix almost anything. He started to doubt himself for a little while but he just couldn’t stand the thoughts of the dishwasher besting him. Lol! He started fiddling with it and before long the motor started running again. I am crossing my fingers that it is a permanent fix. You would think that having a handyman like that would be a blessing and most of the time it is. But, there are times when it can also be a curse. Do you remember the days of the HUGE television sets? The ones that weighed a ton and carrying them or moving them from place to place required an army, those are the kind that I am talking about. I wanted one of the lastest thin screed televisions but our old set was working just fine. Then, finally, one day it had a glitch and I was thrilled. I had already started looking to see what kind of television we should buy. Dang if he didn’t come home and fix the stinking thing. In fact, he fixed it like three more times before I finally said, “but I WANT a new television!” We bought one the next day! Lol!!! This is a fairly new top that I have purchased this year. Yes, I do wear my clothes more than once since I don’t have an entire department store to choose from. I try to mix things up and wear my items differently every time to expand my closet but it gets difficult to be creative sometimes. This flutter sleeve top with the dangling pompoms came from the Loft and I bought this when I went to Nashville earlier in May. I love the sleeves but they make it harder to wear a cardigan or jacket over them. However, a vest would work nicely with this top.

I thought a mixture of pearls and stones would be fun for today’s playful look. The Shaila large pearl stud earrings are so easy to wear with almost anything. I have them on with jeans today but I might wear them with my dress on Sunday. The 50″ long gold necklace with the oval or teardrop pearls is aptly called the Pearl Necklace. Lol!  The Mckensie monogram necklace is probably one of my favorite necklaces from the spring and summer collection. I didn’t even notice it on the website OR in the catalogs for a long time. Then, I saw someone have it on and I went scouring for it until I found it. I love all the different colored and shaped stones probably because it does remind me so much of my vintage jewelry. This is a keeper!!! This is what happens when you are trying to strike a pose and you lose your balance. Lol! I said that I was NOT going to buy any more jeans this year since my closet is running over. I fibbed. I got these NYDJ release hem pull-on jeans in my last Trunk Club shipment and I couldn’t pass them up. In fact, I pulled them out and wore them immediately. These have tummy control and rear lift technology which is way cheaper than plastic surgery. Lol!!!
