Length, smength, you should wear those out as much as you can possibly get away with. <br /><br />The tee is cute but doesn't do a lot for you. But I still kind of like it. The v-neck sweater is too billowy. <br /><br />Your family room looks great!Abbynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-37202804403363015722013-06-24T01:15:11.227-03:002013-06-24T01:15:11.227-03:00I like the navy and aqua cashmere and the vneck.

He's a big gardener and his solution is to shoot at them from his bedroom window I'm afraid. Totally illegal within the city limits I'm sure. Like you, I would just enjoy them.

I've selected everything, all of it fairly contemporary but a few antiques will need to remain in the space and I'm not sure how all of it will come together. Also not sure how I'm going to afford all of it, so probably a non-starter at this point....have a great day!!!JulieStyleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09250867698565961431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-45398406478533939202013-06-23T17:24:48.395-03:002013-06-23T17:24:48.395-03:00WMM, forgot to say the Ray Bans are fab on you, do...WMM, forgot to say the Ray Bans are fab on you, don't think I blog spotted them before today.GetFreshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426579144685310371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-14123864903295496912013-06-23T16:59:00.153-03:002013-06-23T16:59:00.153-03:00Forgot Darfur, well George is okay then, even if h...Forgot Darfur, well George is okay then, even if he hasn't done anything to improve WMM's home.catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121234545386465542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-7849620800727354322013-06-23T16:34:48.838-03:002013-06-23T16:34:48.838-03:00Hi Ema!

I really like the v-neck sweater and the aqua cardigan. While it is true that a navy cardigan is a must, it is also true that they make it every year while the aqua will maybe be a slightly different shade next year if they make it at all. I ordered the navy featherweight last year for very cheap ($50) and returned it and I did not regret it (but it is true that I have a navy Jackie that I wear from time to time). But I am not a fan of featherwight cashmere in general at least for our weather, there is probably a week in the spring and one in the Fall when one could need such a thing. Ok, maybe I am not helpful at all!<br />They ground hogs babies are so cute, you could grpw a zoo and become the attraction of your neighborhood...Emahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08331051805268660458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-32117537459441471742013-06-23T16:30:22.262-03:002013-06-23T16:30:22.262-03:00Oh we cannot tell him these things!

I have mountains of books stored in boxes in the basement, we have nowhere to put them. <br /><br />Re: your shopping, I really like the aqua blue cardigan, and it looks like it goes with a number of things in your wardrobe. The gold pineapple tea is nothing special - I think you could find something better. As for the yellow dress, it needs some alterations to improve it. You could either keep it as is, which is a more casual summer look but I'd suggest wearing with a belt to give waist definition, and shorten the sleeves to cap sleeve length. Or, you could turn it into a tank-style shift dress by having a tailor/dressmaker add in darts if possible (it looks like there is enough material to do it) so that the dress skims the figure, and remove the sleeves altogether. The colour is unusual and eye-catching so I think it's worth the effort.<br /><br />Happy weekend!Louise @ INGREDIENTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09883303245642039938noreply@blogger.com
