HOW TO WEAR BLACK AND IVORY IN A NON-CLASSIC STYLE
This week is flying by! Here it is already Wednesday, and I need to get packed for the conference. I will need to leave super early in the morning so that I can get checked in, get registered for the conference, and then get dressed for dinner. All of that after driving 6 hours to get to Nashville. Whew! I am already tired, just thinking about it. But, since tomorrow is mine and Joe’s 33rd wedding anniversary, I thought I at least needed to stick around long enough to kiss him before I head out the door.
Talk about time flying, how can 33 years have passed by so fast? I can remember in detail the first few months when he and I started “talking.” But, it is funny how everything from those months until now, are all in a foggy haze. It is funny how our brain works because I can remember a lot of great times, and I can remember the crappy times, but all of the normal everyday times seem to have disappeared. And, let’s face it, there are a whole lot of normal everyday times in our lives. We lived in different states for the first few months of our marriage, and I can remember talking on the phone for HOURS before bedtime. This was before cell phones, and I remember racking up a pretty significant phone bill. Lol! Now more days of long-distance calls, thank goodness. The other day, a young girl at work (17) called on the landline to another landline phone. She looked kind of puzzled and then hung up the phone. We asked her what was wrong and she said that the phone was making some weird beeping noise. We laughed and laughed at her because it was a busy signal. She had never heard one before since she has always had a cell phone only. ?
Here is another example of the big, slouchy, and oversized look that is so popular. I feel like this is a dressy version instead of being something that looks dowdy. I think that ivory and white are such a classy combination, but this look is anything but classic. The sweater is very soft and has a tiny bit of stretch in the material. It is a blend of acrylic, nylon, and wool, with a tiny bit of elastane. I am wearing a medium, and that seems to be the correct size for me. The top is hand washable, and that is a plus. This sweater also has a small variation in height from front to back, but not a huge amount. Here is the link to the sweater.

Happy anniversary. My husband and I waited for four months after our 33rd anniversary to celebrate (Caribbean cruise). That date marks 33 and 1/3 years, which is a third of a century! So you and Joe can celebrate your third of a century on March 14th.
Very cute picture! Happy Anniversary! You always seem so happy and upbeat! You brighten my day!

Congratulations on 33 years and wish you 33 more! Love the series with the leather look leggings! I have the same pair and have worn them several times. I do say damn you as now I have to go out and get some over the knee boots. LOL
Diana, I am rolling on the floor. I had to read that comment to Joe because it was too funny!
