Fashion and Fun after Fifty
No not me…the necklace, even though I do feel chunky after having birthday cake and beer over the weekend. Today I decided to wear this chunky necklace that I purchased from Avon months ago but never wore. To my surprise I think it works well with this plain, white, scooped-neck shirt – what do you think?

oops, it got a little twisted…
I have been wanting to make a pair of bleached jeans but last minute decided to cut them into shorts.
It’s was very warm outside but comfortable in church ~ Pastor gave a good sermon that really warmed the heart.

I am still trying to come to grips with the fact that my oldest son is now 20 years old. Although he had been diagnosed as being mentally challenged there are so many things that he can do and does well, including driving. His birthday gift was a Tom Tom GPS from Best Buy to give him more comfort when driving to new destinations. Expanding his world giving him more freedom and us a sense of security made it the best gift, although he probably would have preferred a splash party like the ones he had when he was younger!
His choice for dinner was Ruby Tuesdays and I had a $10.00 gift card so of course it was a good choice for me as well!

Walgreens had a great coupon deal this week on eggs and bacon – $.99 each, limit 3. I almost missed it but was able to get there this evening after dinner. All my men are home for the summer and this definitely helped my grocery budget.

I’ve read that adding milk to a foot soak would make your feet softer so tonight I decided to give it a try. While watching my fav show, Common Law and sipping some liquid grapes I put in a half cup of Relief MD Foot Soak purchased from Dollar Tree and a few drops of aromatherapy oil into a foot tub. I filled the tub with warm water and then added a cup of whole milk. The calcium in the milk is supposed to soften the feet and IT WORKS!
My feet feel as soft as a baby’s bottom!
Today is going to be another hot and humid summer day but it’s FRI-YAY!!!! When I got home yesterday it was still 99 degrees but today it’s supposed to be cooler and stay in the low 90’s. My outfit of the day are closet staples purchased a couple years ago and are my go to comfort clothes. White denim capris and a sleeveless top always feels good and is cool enough to wear in this weather. I ventured into the back of the closet to find my summer sandals, these are one of my favorites purchased last year from Bear Feet Shoes. My jewelry is always a mix of gold and silver and today I added a bronze ring, bracelets, and earrings. Bronze is a metal that I also like to wear especially in the summer.
FRI-YAY !!!!
HAVE A FUN FILLED WEEKEND!
I chose to cover the maxi dress with a top and belt because I’m not comfortable wearing skinny straps to work. The temps are expected to reach 100~ and we have a scheduled fire drill at 2:30 this afternoon so I might have to remove the top while outside.
