THE PONCHO STYLE
I would like a show of hands if you are married or if you have ever been married. You gurls are going to understand my pain then. Joe is in the proverbial doghouse!!! He has a bad case of foot in mouth disease and until he gets cured I am afraid that he needs to be in isolation. Lol! I have heard that it is contagious and I would hate for it to spread. 
His first symptom was when he was talking the other day about needing to go on a diet. Later on that day he was eating everything in sight so I mentioned that he was wanting to go on a diet. His answer was, “I didn’t want to go on a diet, I wanted YOU to go on a diet.” You and I both know that is not the words that a sane man would ever utter. Then, later that night I had got in bed before him so I was all nice and toasty warm. He got in bed and said, “Ooooh, I am cold. Throw that thunder thigh over me and warm me up.” I heard all of you gasp all the way here in Virginia. Today he has complimented me all day long……….not going to work!!! 
Some of you have mentioned that Friday is supposed to be casual Friday. This is my casual look. This is as simple as it comes without wearing a birthday suit and just ask Joe, you don’t want to see that. Lol! This is a sweater and a pair of pants and I am sure everyone has that in their closet. This is a strange top in some ways. It is like a poncho because it is a square piece of material but then it has sleeves. I do love this casual style because it doesn’t touch me anywhere. There are no bumps or bulges for Joe to make fun of. Lol! He is really going to pay for a while.
Since I wore this month’s Plunder Posse (here) already recently I decided to wear a different necklace today. It was also a Posse purchase but I don’t remember which month it was. It came with the larger bracelet that I have on. The smaller bracelet is the Ashlyn. It has the same ivory and gold beads that the Posse bracelet has but they are smaller. Both are on an elastic band and fits up to 8.5 inches. I mentioned the other day in this post that I liked gray and browns together and Plunder Design must also. Here is where you can go to sign up for the Posse. The earrings that I have on are the Judy and they are in a gunmetal color. These are made in a filigree design and they have a 3″ drop. 
It was very windy when I was taking my pictures. I was freezing to death because I didn’t have on any kind of shirt under the poncho. After I finished with the pictures I went back into the bedroom and found me a black tank top to wear under this. It was a really good thing that I did too because this was what I wore to Charlottesville and it was even windier there. When we were unloading the luggage from the vehicle I thought I was going to get frostbite. Brrrr. I have a pair of Rockstar jeans on in a caramel color from Old Navy. I think that these run true to size and I am wearing a size 10. BTW, today a LOT of online stores will be offering FREE shipping so skip the malls and shop in the comfort of your own home.

Wow, your lashes look great! Whenever my husband makes a comment like that I say, ” Thanks for your input, Brad Pitt”. The nerve!
Super-duper look today. Perfect for Friday. The poncho does overwhelm you or look boxy, just easy breezy. I wish your whole outfit was hanging in my closet right now. Husbands suffer from a certain illness: “intermittent obtuseness”.
When you find a cure for foot in mouth please let me know……my husband suffers from the same disease!??♀️ Love the outfit!!
My husband is a total extrovert and I’m a total introvert. When I once complained that he had accepted 3 party invitations in the same weekend he said “Well at least I’m not a hermit like you.” That was probably 20 years ago and it still comes back to haunt him lol. But I’m absolutely perfect. ?
Beth, my husband says I never forget anything, especially when I can throw it back up in his face. Lol!
I love this poncho look and the color is great! My husband suffers from the same disease frequently. Funny how men seem to get it more often than women….
Isn’t that the truth, Kim!
Good morning!
You look absolutely gorgeous, today! Very Ritzy! TGIF!!!! Have a beautiful Friday and a lovely, peaceful weekend! ?
Good morning, Annie!!! I am going to try to have a peaceful weekend. It should be quite since Joe is sleeping outside. Lol!!!
I am married too! And men just don’t think before they put words out! Like they are all somebody with gorgeous bodies and personalities! I know all my friends have the same problem with their husbands….as we talk!!!!!
Having said that, love your top! WOW!
One more thing…..he is DAMN lucky to have a beautiful woman in his life! Must he be reminded?!?!?!?!?!??!
They just haven’t learned to think it and not say it. Lol! I’ll have to remind him.
Yep, he’s in the doghouse for sure! And he reads your blog so he knows he is going to be publicly shamed. I agree with Karen. Size 10!?! I haven’t worn that size for years. Now, I never want to meet that husband of yours! LOL That poncho is a beautiful color and the necklace looks great with it. And you are aging backwards! Wonderful products! Now, go rid the house of all caloric food and only serve fruit and veggies for dinner for a few days. That will shut him up. Of course, you can sneak out for lunch without him!
Ooooh, Brenda, I hadn’t thought about feeding us cardboard at night because of being on a diet. You are a diabolical genius!!!
Ohhhhh, doghouse for SURE!!!!!!! And “thunder thighs” when you are a size 10? Puh-leez. You are cute as a button and funny as heck. Grrr.
Start grabbing his love handles or “notice” his double chin. That’ll fix his wagon.
Heather, men think they are perfect. Lol!
Happy Friday Tania! Today’s post sure gave me a chuckle! I always tell my hubby I keep alittle extra weight on for insulation….because I’m always cold! Lol……but to be honest, he never mentions my weight, and I love that! Haha! Love the beige and grey colors together , and I like that poncho! Love your Friday look today! ?
He knows that when I am gaining weight that it bothers me. He pokes at me to get me to do something about it because I will get mad and then actually go on the diet that I have been talking about.
