My birthday was the 27th. I took a week off to enjoy it and a fully vaccinated life. I bought this Spanish red dress in February when it didn’t fit (I bought it two sizes too small at a 14). I promised myself that I would get into it by my birthday and here we are! I went to eat at the Ritz Carlton in Sarasota for my birthday dinner with one of my best friends and my mom. I had such a wonderful time in my favorite dress! It felt so good to doll up again. :)

Beautiful dress and you look great in it! Hope your birthday celebration was wonderful :)

You look fabulous in that red dress @ANewJourneyAwaits. Hope you had an equally fabulous birthday.

Gotta love wearing jeans that actually fit, @kristieshannon. Waist, hips, thighs & a belt too - lookin’ good.

Hey guys..... Few things.....

Casual Friday.... green jersey dress

Love your curves in that denim dress @BayougirlMrsS!

My contribution today is the after varicose vein ablation and removal edition. 🙄🙄 I will be sporting this knee high wrap for the next 2 weeks. I threw in a before pic as well to show how bad my veins were, complete with phlebitis. So glad this is done, as I have been in pain for about 10 years from this. I am in pain from the procedure now, but hopeful I will soon not have pain in this leg anymore. 😬😬😬

Your Tim is a shopping king @BayougirlMrsS.

Oh @WishMeSmaller, I hope your surgery pain doesn't last long & your recovery is smooth & quick.

My suitcase for my friend’s wedding. I promise it really is just for three days, two nights. Are 6 pairs of shoes too many??? 😉 

I’ll post pxts of Fraser Island when I get home. There’s no wifi on the island & download speeds are crazy slow like dial up slow. Literally took minutes to download these two images.

Working with leather is a skill & a talent @BayougirlMrsS. Don’t let her go. I’ve had a few leather pants over the years that could benefitted by someone who can tailor leather. Hope you can find your leathers.

Embrace the pale @WishMeSmaller. We who are very fair need to stick together. Those compression sleeves are fabulous & very practical to protect your legs while fencing.

lunch with my girls. We’re trying to go out to somewhere nice for lunch or dinner every 4 weeks. Look I’m not wearing all black 😆😆😆. Popped on my new leather coat as it was a bit overcast & cool today - Autumn & lunch was on a rooftop. I love my jacket. So glad I returned the other one.

Had the dress in my wardrobe since just prior to COVID last year. This is it’s first outing. Amusingly, Alyson Hannibal wore the dress to a presser in February for her movie Flora & Ulysses except it was like three sizes too big on her. Think I won the ‘who wore it best’ comp. 😜

You look fabulous! The shoes are to die for.

Thank you everyone! ❤️❤️❤️

Wedding was beautiful. Weather was glorious but was chilly & windy at night (hence the rabbit fur coat). Yes I did have two teaspoons of wedding cake. 😉 A woman asked if I had grand children 😱. Looks like I need the number of a good surgeon. 😆 Lots & lots of dancing - was a bit stiff & sore the next day. Obviously haven’t exercised my dancing muscles enough lately. 😁

Happy belated birthday! Congratulations in your fabulous new dress and size. You wear RED well. You are probably in a 10/12 by now... I loved watching the inches and sizes melt away settling in XS/4 - 6 clothing. Now, I can shop those deeply discounted sale racks where only small sizes were left. Fun!

Absolutely gorgeous location and you look sophisticated as usual! I do not think you need surgery or look like a grandmother, but that comment would probably tip me over for a facelift too. 🤦🏼‍♀️ As usual, love the shoes. ❤️❤️

ps. I am a step-grandmother😂

Great outfits!!!! Especially LOVE the light blue top on you. Wonderful asymmetric lines and color for your pretty figure and fair skin. Before COVID I had bought three T shirts in this styling and adored them - but never had the opportunity to wear them. Maybe I'll pull them out for Mother's day lunch with Mom at her assisted living today. They just opened her facility to visitors May 1st. Yay! Bayou, maybe shop for a summer dress in this pastel blue color, too! You've also inspired me to pull out my new white jeans that I have never worn yet either. Remember how many of us had just replenished our new wardrobes 14 months ago? Then, March 2020 lock down! All dressed up and no where to go. Literally. Maybe now all those little outfits can "come out of the closet". Haha.

Your flesh mesh in this case - LOOKS fabulous! Wear it well and happy healing... Here's to no more leg pain ahead.
