I'm in a Black and White State of Mind


Welcome to Monday!

I mentioned Saturday that we had friends over for dinner. I am not sure why, but we always end up searching through my shoe closet! It is like little girls playing dress up in Mommy's clothes!

My friend Chris, Gretchen's husband, asked "How do you decide which one to wear?"

"They talk to me. I open the closet door and say 'Hello girls, who wants to play today?' "

Today's shoes have been asking to come out to play since Saturday night.

As often happens, I decide which pair of shoes I want to wear first, and then build up from there.

With these shoes being ivory/black the choice was easy...black dress with ivory (faux) pearls.

As with everything I seem to own, the dress has a story. It is from a consignment store; I paid $2.00 for it last spring. I have worn it quite a few times. It is the perfect LBD...little black dress. I have quite a few LBDs. I like blank canvases - what can I say?

Taking pictures in the morning is proving to be a challenge. I looked at the shots and thought "what is up with my hair today?" Ben was quite patient with me as I critiqued picture after picture. Let's try this corner; how about sitting? BTW, ignore the couple making out behind me!

I love the dress and shoes - how about voting on the statue today? Should it stay or go?

Have a great evening!

  2. Here I was thinking it would be an easy vote and then you make it about the statue.....and now all I can think is "does this statue make me look fat?" I vote keep it - I like kissing!

  7. Love the outfit & the chair. Statue can go. When I read the title of the post, I could hear Billy Joel singing "I'm in a New York state of mind..."
