I finally got around to baking fruitcakes for my siblings, an annual tradition that should have happened the weekend after Thanksgiving, so I'm a little late. Tomorrow when they are completely cool I will soak those fruitcakes in the Grand Marnier, let them sit for a few days until they are well soused, and then mail them off to their various destinations. If you have a hankering for fruitcake (I am the only one in my family who does not!), you can find my recipe here.
I had a couple of doctor's appointments last week and ran a few errands as well, so I went into town twice. Because of the doctor's appointments I had to wear tops with loose sleeves so that my arms were accessible. Luckily I have some favorite sweaters I bought a couple of years ago that have very loose sleeves, so I wore one on each day in different colors. Here is the first day's outfit:
Clockwise from top left: Acorn Favorite Cotton Sweater in Turquoise (no longer available); Turtle Fur Bang Band Chelonia 150 Classic Fleece Headband in Black (similar to mine); Craghoppers Women's Venta Lite Hooded Insulated Jacket in Black (similar to mine); Great American Leatherworks Braid Flap Crossbody Bag in Dark Tan (color no longer available); MediPEDS Crew Socks in Black; Dockers Vargas Boat Shoes in Rust; Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda Stretch-Fit Jeans in Black (similar to mine); Ultrasofts Mock Turtleneck in Black (similar to mine); Center: Elizabeth Locke 31" 19kt Yellow Gold Turquoise Bead and Small Link Necklace (no longer available, similar to my much less expensive necklace). |
And here is the second outfit of the week (you can see that I keep adding warmer layers, because while waiting in line to get into stores it can get very cold!):
Clockwise from top left: Acorn Favorite Cotton Sweater in Azure (no longer available); Chico's Textured Silvertone Single-Strand Necklace (similar to mine); Turtle Fur Bang Band Chelonia 150 Classic Fleece Headband in Black (similar to mine); Calvin Klein Packable Down Hooded Long Puffer Coat in Shine Wine (no longer available, similar to mine); Bombas Women's Solids Calf Socks in Navy; BEARPAW Brady Wide NeverWet Classic Boots in Hickory; Great American Leatherworks Braid Flap Crossbody Bag in Dark Tan (color no longer available); Banana Republic Women's High-Rise Straight Jean in Light Wash; Ultrasofts Mock Turtleneck in Sangria (similar to mine); Center: Southcombe Mabel Warm Lined Leather Gloves in Black (similar to mine); |

My posts have been rather hit or miss lately as I attempt to get all of my Christmas activities done. I really need to buckle down and get gifts ordered, cards written and mailed, and the minimal decorating I plan to do finished. I will try to stay on track, but I may have to skip a few more posts if necessary until after the holidays. I hope you all are more organized than I am - have a great week!
