Purple Pacer

Happy Friday!
This year I am trying to embrace a bit more solid color. There's nothing like an over-sized purple tee to blast out my intentions. Though I gotta admit,the long black skirt is my favorite of this outfit ;) As I'm typing this, it's raining, so my cloth floral platforms are out... Boo! I'm off to do the errand thang, so wish me happy driving. I ask because Cincinnatian's NEVER slow down for anything. NEVER!
I'll be the lady in the friggin slow lane getting the finger. That's right you may be faster (NOW), but my insurance premiums are lower ;)
Big Weekend Hugs!!!

Note: I just got home from errand #1 
and had to be detoured a mile out of the way...
Why, you ask?
A friggin wreck!
Never will they learn.

Breaking Up is Hard to Do

Random Thoughts and Killer Sunnies...


Hi everyone!
This is a topic you've probably had to deal with before, 
but I am taking a slightly easier, less time-consuming approach...

Ya pull up your blog - and there it is, someone has broken up with you! 
What? I begin the healing process with a quick run-through of what 
I've recently said, worn, or commented on lately...
Now, I've been called 'cheeky' and have a very dry sense of humor - 
kind of a cross between Seinfeld and the lady who wrote 'I hate my neck'. 
I once lost a pal for 'disliking' mom jeans. (I know, right?!)

How much room does one little title take, anyway? If I deleted all the blogs I have kinda lost interest in, my blog list would be a tiny bit smaller. It's as if someone is saying. 'I don't want you anymore' and leaving no reason or positive feedback as to why they went bye bye! Leaving me to forever wonder why...
And of course, they want me to know someone thinks I suck... Hmm....

Sure, it may just be that they are AWOL....
But to be sure, here are 3 cover-all responses to those who abandon someone's hard work without a proper goodbye.
These are based on 3 different sets of thought processes.
Feel free to copy and use any of them you need ;)
THE WHINY GROVEL
1.   Dear fellow human being:
If I have said something offensive, 
Please realize that all my thoughts/comments are not personal. 
"Bitch-seat" is funny. Come on!!!
Sincerely apologetic, Reva

THE APPROPRIATE BLOGGER ETIQUETTE COVER-ALL
2. Dear leave-me-in-the-dark:
I realize I must not be what you are looking for. 
If you'd like to leave a comment telling me where you went or why - 
Please do. 
I accept positive and honest feedback.
Thanks for popping by, Reva

THE OH WELL....
3. (And as my Hubby always says):
'Joke em' if they can't take a f*'Uck!'
Love & Hugs, Reva :)

mwa, ha,ha!
SUNNIES: ASOS / BAUBLES AND BROOCHES, OLD AND VINTAGE
ATTIRE: TEE, WALGREENS $2.50 / 'MIDI' SKIRT: THRIFTED / BAG, THRIFTED

I did take time out from my favorites week, 
though really, a plain tee and full skirt are my favorites! 
Sometimes an idea hits and I've just gotta go with it ;)

Favorite Day 3: Cat Blouses and Mini's


OK, as my photos go, 
this one goes into my 'not-half-bad' hall of fame...
I'm so girly - no cigarette - no remote showing - no wrinkles (in my clothes ;), 
Everything in proportion - peering softly into the sunset....
I could just go on and on.
But, enough about the photo....
and there it is...
90% of my outfit shots look best with head cut off.
Why, Oh Why is that?
( the cammy Gods aren't on my side? )
Oh Yeah, my favorite thing here is the silk cat blouse. Many of you have wanted it, 
but I cannot part with her just yet ;) The other is the 6 ft. long scarf and 2 ft. long skirt. 
I will be 75 and still wearing mini's! You have now been warned.
And, have you noticed? real live HOSE on women? These are nude tights. I swear...
Check out the heel on the shoe. Pretty nifty!
I feel so damn girly !!!
OUTFIT: ALL THRIFTED, EXCEPT FOR: 
SHOES, Sears 75%off - TIGHTS, Sears 75%off
Cat Eye Sunnies,Vintage
Til tomorrow,
Big Hugs,
Reva

Favorite Day 2: Fabric Mish-Mosh or 'A Lot Goin' On'

I love this top and the faux-leather-yet-leggings leggings....
Yes, I am grammatically challenged.
 (All those years of Buffy, where 'thingy' is a real word)
This outfit all began with my lust for leather jeans... I own them. I tried stretching them with all sorts of crazy ideas, (thanx U-Tube). From wearing them wet, which I don't recommend - to making a fake person stuffed like a scarecrow to stretch them. I even thought I could get by with just not zipping or buttoning them up. Who'd notice? I only wore them once and had the stomach cramps to prove it...
Then I realized I'm not a skinny teen anymore. I needs me elastic, so wa-la, Newport News, you win. Then, not to look like I just stepped off the 'bitch seat' of a Harley (yet), 
I added a long silk blouse (2 bucks!) and a vintage tie. Of course the florals sealed the deal. 
Me likey... Toned down bad-ass...
Forever 21 ($19.80) a new summer staple (wait til ya see the OTHER ones!)
(Disclaimer: I love Harley's.....)
