WHAT IS A FRAZZLE AND WHY IS IT WORN OUT
A saying I use all the time is, “I am worn to a frazzle.” I have really been saying that this week. I am still recovering from having company for several days, a fashion show on Saturday, and party Saturday night. And now I am preparing to leave very early Wednesday morning and not return home till late Sunday night.
Dragging my tail, or worn to a frazzle, you take your pick. Either way, it means I am TIRED!!! After working all day long, coming home and cooking supper, babysitting with Emersyn for an hour, ironing Joe some clothes to wear to a funeral while I am gone, writing this blog, I still have to pack. Yep, I haven’t packed yet. So this post may be short and sweet.
This is what I wore to the Vintage Fashion Show on Saturday. I thought the pants gave that throwback look of the 70’s. They are quite colorful, and not for the faint of heart. I bought these last year when I went to a woman’s club convention. They are by Cha Cha Vente and I bought them at Stein Mart.
Palazzo Pants: Guess | Bisou Bisou | Nicole Miller | Plus
The jewelry is vintage that I have picked up for the past several years. These are plastics which were big in the 60’s and 70’s. I like plastic necklaces because they do not make my neck hurt.
The bracelet is made of bright green lucite squares and lucite blue disc’s. They just match this outfit, you would think I had bought them together. When you have as much of the vintage stuff as I have, you can almost always find something to match.
The cobalt cardigan is by Joan Rivers. I like the longer length of the cardigan. Anything that hides my tush is my friend.
Cardigan: Melissa McCarthy |Liz Claiborne
Here is a look from the side.
I chose to wear a bright blue camisole that was the same color as the cardigan. I like this look, and I really like to wear this same look using white. That is probably a look that I might wear later this week, or next. This camisole is from Maurices.
I wore my Tommy Hilfiger sandals because I knew I would be doing a lot of walking. Normally I would probably wear heels, but sometimes you just have to go with comfort.
Just in case you were wondering, a frazzle means to wear to threads or shreds. That would be me. I am off to pack, and then I will have a 7 hour drive in front of me tomorrow.
Be sure to let me know what you think about my colorful look. I will look forward to reading your comments when I get to Williamsburg, VA. The GFWC Virginia Woman’s Club Convention is calling my name, it is time for me to go. See you later.

I am loving this outfit because of the bright colors. I especially love the pants, I am sure I wore something similar in 1975! Thanks for sharing, have a great trip. I know you will look awesome whatever you are wearing.
Fabulous!! Agree with previous comment, looking very slim! Do share your tips! Love the name of the designer of the pants “Cha Cha Vente”….lol. Safe travels.
Beautiful outfit! You’re looking very slim and trim!! I have to pack too for a trip coming up!! Why is this such a struggle?!
You rock color! Love!!
Lovely outfit and the blue is wonderful on you. That color combination was just what I needed to see this morning That Joan Rivers cardigan is calling my name and I’m going to try and find a similar one. Her fashions fit my 5’2″ frame well.
Take care of yourself and try not to be too frazzled. I hope you get some ‘me’ time to relax.
Too cute!
Love the outfit!
