Saturday... We were going out later and I had decided early on to wear this ensemble. Rather than wear something so-so 'n sloppy for the first part of the day and getting changed into the smart 'n snazzy gear later, I just put on the nice silk dress first thing. And wore it all day, regardless. Whoar! so rebellious! A rebel... without any cause.
I will admit though, that I pretty much wore a (knitted by me) cardigan and uggies for a lot of the day and the tailored coat and glam boots only went on later.
We're heading out for drinkies and a rather nice pre-Mother's Day dinner now.... later dudes :)
