For V-day, the hubster and I just went to our fave casual restaurant in town, nothing fancy. I thought I would go ahead and try to get another use out of this Loft skirt.
The denim top is from New York and Company, it was like $6. Black tee is from the loft, and Skirt is from the Loft. :-)

My review:
I was allowed to chose any suit on the site, and while several caught my eye, I saw that Delta Burke had a collection available. Ok, so I cannot lie, I knew I would pick one of those because there was nothing I used to love better than watching the Sugarbaker sisters on Designing Women. One of my fave scenes is when Julia defended her sister Suzanne with the "Night the Lights went out in Georgia" speech in the "Beauty Contest" episode. Good times, good times.
Ok, so knowing that I was going to wear a Delta Burke suit narrowed it down for me right away, they have so many suits, that was the first big step. Next, "modesty" is a big issue for me and swimsuits. I have rather Victorian-esque sensibilities when it comes to clothing these days (LOL) so I knew I wanted something with shorts or a skirt. Now, I have never had a suit with a skirt (or skirtini), so I thought I would give that a try. So, I ended up selecting the Classic & Flattering Floral Fancy Halter Skirtini by Delta Burke to review for the blog.
I love the print on this swimsuit. Its similar to the print in the first photo above, dark blue, white and gold. The swim suit fits very nicely, is comfortable and true to size. Now I am just waiting for the summer months to come forth!

Hi friends,
How is everyone doing? Good I hope. I have just spent the better part of my lunch catching up on some blog reading, and yet still more that 1,000 posts to read :-) I hope you'll all forgive me if I keep my commenting brief.
One of my fave blogs to read is Fast Food and Fast Fashion, authored by Elle. Her comments are funny and sweet, she seems just the kind of person you'd enjoy having as a friend. Be sure and check her out, if you don't already.
Today, I have on a lovely PINK cardigan from Talbot's. This is the "Charming Cardigan" which people often compare to a JCrew Jackie. I think they look a little like a Jackie, but the sleeves are looser on the Charming Cardi - which makes sense, I think the Charming Cardi has been one of Talbot's offerings since the store opened.
The top underneath the cardigan is a sweater LOL. I felt weird wearing a sweater with a sweater, but it was the right length, so there it is LOL. This is a sweater from the Loft and was about $9. Its from about 2-3 years ago. I bet a lot of you Loft shoppers have it too.
What else do I have on? Oh, this black and white skirt, has been seen many times before - I got this from New York And Company before they insisted that all skirts must remain at a 15 inch hemline. :-P So, a couple of years ago. I spent all of $5 on it.
As always, thank you so much for reading and commenting.
Happy Tuesday

February Blues...
This is one of my favorite shirts, I got it from Talbots ages ago. I love the ruching in the bust, it gives lots of room for - er, well...the bust. :-)
You guys have seen this jacket a million times before, its one of my Loft faves. The skirt is a ponte knit pencil from Chadwicks. Tights are by Assets from Tarjay! :-)
As always, thank you for reading!!! :-)

Well, 2011 - already out of January! Where does the time go?
Happy February everyone!
So, IDK why the tights look like such a different color in the images. They are the same brown as the boots IRL. They are "assets" brand from Target.
This jacket is from Talbots, last fall. Its one of my faves. The top is also from Talbots, from Feb09
Skirt was an oldie from Loft - one of the great clearance conquests.
Boots are the $12.99 pair from the Avenue. I have got quite a bit of use from these guys.
Hope everyone is doing well, and staying warm. Thank you for reading!!

Hey everyone, I had a question in the comments about Macy's and plus sizing. The Macy's I used to shop in Tampa has a large plus size section on the second floor. This department carried most of their store brands, such as Charter Club and INC as well as some other brands such as Tommy Hilfiger and Michael Kors. And they carried 0X/ 12W! Which I love, its hard to find that size. Also, if you are an inbetween, many of their brands offer an 18 in misses sizes.
Confession: I have this weird thing with Macy's - when I feel like I have a lack of patterns in my closet, I go into Macy's and just grab some tops until I feel fully "patterned" again. Haha. They carry the best "non-solids"
At any rate, here are a few items from Macys I have featured on the blog.
1. This pattern blouse:
2. This Navy Linen Blouse
3.The floral top

Hey guys, currently, Talbot's has their sale items marked down 50% (prices as marked on site), some non-sale items are 50% off (prices as marked on site) and now, there is an additional 25% off coupon (and free shipping) if you use 024840756. This coupon worked for me, while I was logged-in to my account, so I will say it is probably a coupon anyone can use. (I did not receive the coupon directly, a friend emailed it to me.) Please note, sometimes they turn these off when they "get out" online, so just be aware of that.
Be sure and watch for what is final sale, and what is not as well. Gigi has opened a weekly "swap/sell "thread for Talbots final sale merchandise, which is awesome! We never needed one before, but this might help ease the sting of final sale choices gone wrong ;-)
As always, thanks for reading! :-)
