NEUTRAL COWGIRL

IT'S ALIVE !!!

OFF THE SOFA FOR ME TODAY :) .......  I THINK THESE LEGGINGS WOULD STAND UP ALL BY THEMSELVES RIGHT NOW. YEP, I WORE THEM SINCE SUNDAY ( ON AND OFF )

THEY DON'T HAVE ANY STRETCH LEFT ;) AND TO TERRI ~ (I'LL BE E-MAILING YA SOON).

I SEEM TO BE IN A NEUTRAL'S MODE AS OF LATE. ( MAYBE IT'S THE FEVER ? )

THIS THRIFTED MOSSIMO SKIRT WAS ANOTHER THRIFT-STORE STEAL. MANY PEOPLE DON'T BUY 'TRENDS' AT THRIFT STORES, BUT OUR GOODWILL GETS ALL OF TARGET'S PAST SEASON STUFF, AS IN THE LIBERTY OF LONDON DRESS FROM MY LAST POST, SO ON 1/2 PRICE DAY , 2 BUCKS IS WORTH A MOSSIMO SKIRT ;) - PLUS IT HAS A SHAPE AND STYLE THAT WILL ENDURE MANY WEARINGS. ( No pockets, but lots o' buttons :) , a great layering piece .....

WEARING MY COWBOY HAT MADE ME FEEL BETTER, TOO ;)

PONDERING :

I HAVE BEEN DOING A SHOOT FEATURING MYSELF IN THE "REAL" AND AM A BIT NERVOUS ABOUT POSTING THE IMAGES, BUT I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY SO MUCH AND THE GRAINY, WRINKLED BODY IS SOMETHING I HAVE WANTED TO SHOOT FOR A WHILE. HOWEVER, THERE AREN'T MANY "TAKERS" WHEN IT COMES TO SHOWING WRINKLES, SUNSPOTS, OR SAGGINESS. ( I GET IT- I HAVE EVEN HAD 'GLAMOUR SHOTS' DONE AS WELL ;)  - SO I VOLUNTEERED MYSELF FOR THE JOB. IT WASN'T EASY, AND THEY COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER WITH A REAL MODEL, BUT I MAY BE POSTING THEM SOON. WHAT DO YA THINK? WOULD YOU WANT TO SEE A REAL WOMAN, AGE 46, SHOWING HERSELF AS SHE LOOKS EVERY MORNING WHEN SHE PEEKS INTO THE MIRROR ( AND GASPS TO THINK THAT THAT WOMAN REALLY IS ME ...) WITHOUT FLAGGING HER AS OFFENSIVE TO THE BLOGGER POLICE ?

( Remember, I do still have a fever ..... ;)

INDOORS AND LAYERS

WELL, INDOORS IT IS :)
I AM ON THE HUNT FOR THE BEST SPOT SO BEAR WITH ME . THIS OUTFIT KEPT ME SO WARM, I ACTUALLY WORKED UP A SWEAT. I HAVE ON : TIGHTS, OVER-THE-KNEE SOCKS, A THERMAL TOP, A SWEATER, WOOL JACKET, 2 SKIRTS, AND A SCARF. WHEW !
THEN, AS I HAD MY BI-YEARLY CHECK-UP AND A FLU SHOT, I HAD TO UNDRESS AND RE-DRESS MYSELF WITHOUT A MIRROR. ANYTHING FOR FASHION ;)


NOW, ON  A WEIRD  NOTE, I GAINED 15 LBS.......
I WAS SHOCKED, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, ALL MY PANTS WERE GETTING TOO TIGHT. DARNED BAKED BEANS AND CHIPS. WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY BELOVED LEATHER PANTS.
I HEMMED THEM, CALLED A SEAMSTRESS TO REPAIR A MISSING SNAP ( Previous owner must had had similar issues...) I WORE THEM AROUND THE HOUSE FOR 4 DAYS ( on and off ) TO TRY AND MAKE THEM STRETCH, WITH NO LUCK IN THE WAIST AREA. 
MY MUFFIN-TOP IS HIGHER THAN MOST. MY SHAPE IS NO LONGER AND "H", BUT AN "O".
FINALLY, AFTER A STARE-A-THON, AND MUCH SIGHING, I'VE DECIDED TO RETURN THEM. 
LUCKILY OUR GOODWILL TAKES RETURNS UP TO 10 DAYS.  ~  IF ONLY .......

LAZY NEUTRAL DAY

EVER HAVE ONE OF THOSE DAYS WHEN ALL THE WITTY STUFF YOU WANT TO SAY DISAPPEARS THE SECOND YOU SIT DOWN TO WRITE ? I MUST HAVE THE DREADED 'BLOGGER'S BLOCK'.
I BET IT'S BECAUSE I MISSED MY DAILY DOSE OF CAPPUCINO. YEP, THAT MUST BE IT.

SO I'LL JUST POSE FOR YA :) 
THESE LAYERS KIND OF JUST FELL TOGETHER. IS IT TOO OBVIOUS ?  EVERYONE TELLS ME I LOOK GOOD IN BLUE, SO IT MUST BE TRUE ....  I FOUND THIS SKINNY SCARF AT "EVERYTHING'S A DOLLAR". GUESS HOW MUCH IT COST ? YEP :) A DOLLAR ;)
THE REST IS THRIFTED, EXCEPT FOR THE BERET, TIGHTS AND BOOTS.

THIS BELT BELONGED TO MY HUBBY  BACK IN THE SEVENTIES. I LOVE IT !

I HAVEN'T DONE A GRASS-SITTING POSE SINCE THE CHIGGERS GOT ALL BITEY.  THIS PAST SUMMER I WALKED AROUND WITH BITES THE ENTIRE SEASON :)
SOMEONE HAS ASKED ME TO DO A POST ON 'HOW TO LAYER', SO I PROMISE TO HAVE ONE UP SOON.  ~  RIGHT NOW I'M GONNA LAY ON THE SOFA WITH MY HUBBY AND WATCH A JAWS TAKE-OFF MOVIE CALLED 'DEEP BLUE SEA' AND PROBABLY FALL ASLEEP IN ABOUT A HALF-HOUR. I'M SPENT........
SOME DAY WE ALL NEED A GOOD "BAD" MOVIE AND A NAP :)

SEE YA TOMMORROW ~ REFRESHED AND RARING TO GO ;)
