There's the good, jacket weather, feeling of brisk accomplishment in the air, and the grim, always reminds me just a tinge of going back to boarding school, getting ready for colder weather, donning tights and layers again, responsible versus carefree.<br /><br />Your pie looks perfection and no gloop is an accomplishment with blueberry. You won't believe it, but I plumped for that floral scarf with the latest discount. My very first hint of wardrobe pink in about 30 years, aside from the piping on one pair of JC yore shoes.

I tried the quiz too - I got Classic 2, Chic 2, Boho 2 and Whimsical 1. I'm not so sure about the results; for a lot of the questions I'd have preferred different choices for answers. <br /><br />I really, really like your t-shirt and jeans outfit - it's so much more than the sum of the words!<br /><br />Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05504513116873595049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-42197983718833842302013-09-01T12:46:47.655-03:002013-09-01T12:46:47.655-03:00Oh good for you!

As a Gemini I am constantly changing...even as a young girl I would sometimes change three or four times a day, depending on mood, activity, or location I would be doing my activity. Loved the quiz...I was all Classic, apart from a dash of chic and boho! Now...I am about to head to India for 2 1/2 months and think I'll just buy a whole new wardrobe whilst I'm there!!
