Saturday started with yoga. Teal tee shirt from Old Navy, black sueded cotton pants from Pro Spirit. Hair was second day, just brushed out. Makeup was worn because I looked as though I only had four hours of sleep and maybe one too many vodka tonics (I did). I used my L’Oreal True Match concealer… Continue Reading Saturday and Sunday

My seasonal web-based shopping spree. So a lovely black merino wool sweater dress… Continue Reading Wednesday
