STOP AND SMELL THE FLOWERS

Look, Ma, I am on top of the world!!! Okay, so I am not on top of the world nor am I on board the Titanic. For those who haven’t seen the movie, Titanic, that was a famous line in the movie. The main character was standing with his hands spread wide and says those words. That, of course, has nothing to do with my blog post and is not relevant in any way. Lol!!! Unfortunately, this is how my brain works and I can’t change it or I would. Hahaha!! Joe is just as bad as me too, so you can imagine how crazy our house is. He will start telling me something and I have no idea what he is talking about. When I look confused or ask him what in the world he is talking about I will find out that he had been having a conversation in “his” brain and he thought that I knew what was being said. LOL! I tell him all the time that I am not The Amazing Kreskin and that I can’t read his mind. That is probably a good thing. Can you imagine what the world would be like if you could read the thoughts of people you met and they could read yours? I would shudder to think about that. Whew!! Talk about a mess. This is an old top that is probably 3 or 4 years old. I think that I bought this just when the statement sleeve trend started so I should get at least another year or so wear from it. Instead of waiting when you see a new trend, you should embrace it right away. Trends will normally last 3 – 5 years and that way you will get plenty of wear out of any item. Some trends last longer than others like skinny jeans. I hope they never go out of style but I think that I said that about stirrup pants too. Lol!!! I bought this shirt for the color just as much as I did for the sleeves. The last time that I wore this top was 2 years ago at a Woman’s Club Convention and I styled it differently. Check it out and tell me which way you like it best.

Can you tell that I was trying hard not to laugh? I just love daylilies and I wish they lasted longer. This one’s life was really cut short since I decided that it needed to come back inside with me. Since the bloom doesn’t last long anyway I didn’t think that it was really going to make a difference. Have you embraced the statement earring trend yet? Remember what I said earlier about trends. The Petra turquoise, gold, and white beaded earrings are so cute. They remind me of a peacock feather for some reason. Am I the only one who thinks that? The Rhonda bracelet is multi-layer, multi-colored beaded bracelet on tan leather. I am really loving the newer “pull string” closure on some of the newer bracelets. They make adjusting the size and getting them on your arm so much easier. I love my Plunder jewelry because it is affordable and I can get all the latest trends without spending a fortune.  Here is another of my white jeans. I think this is pair #6! Lol! I am just joking, I have no idea how many pairs of white pants that I own but it really is a lot. This is an older pair that I drag out every year because they still fit (amazingly) and I like the ankle length. This pair also has a built-in crease down the front so they look like they have been pressed. Lol! That is funny since ironing is NOT my thang. Haha!

Life is too short not to stop and smell the flowers. I just hope that I don’t get stung by a bee when I do. Lol!! In case you missed it yesterday, I am giving you plenty of warning but if you keep scrolling you will see my “Naked” photo that I posted yesterday. Lol! I love helping out a good cause and I am thrilled that I now have the confidence to post a picture like this. In the past, you would have had to come to my house extremely early in the morning to catch me without my makeup on. While I am not that happy to post this picture even today, it is not about my skin looking bad. I just like the addition of blush, mascara, and lipstick. You all know that I love lots of colors. Lol!
