Usually this visit is arranged by me when the NOT noniron khakis fray at the hems, which he assures me "no one" notices. We are not in the store long enough for me to look at any women's things.Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13175229460841379583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-56349906944838129932015-03-24T00:11:07.271-04:002015-03-24T00:11:07.271-04:00Oh, Mildred had very strong opinions on drinking. ...Oh, Mildred had very strong opinions on drinking.

They aren't really Event wear, but there are fewer and fewer Events these days.wellfedfredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118802089389931227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-37302739808328149612015-03-23T21:39:09.272-04:002015-03-23T21:39:09.272-04:00I have similar luck.

And then the re-iteration (if it happens) is usually inferior-Cece s, case in point.<br /> I have become a Beautypedia fan after reading Paula Begoun's books years ago, and now console myself by replacing my old "perfect" discontinued make up with a new "best" buy find. I have just wrested myself away from the same mascara I have used for 30 years and am really happy with my new find. <br />I know and have adhered religiously to the watch dictum for years, but wonder if it is still relevant, as I would have to think it is more discreet to glance at a watch than it is to blatantly check one's inappropriately ubiquitous cellphone.<br />I have never heard of the coat one, but fear I am past worrying about that situation arising.<br />I love the drink advice and will pass that on to my children, and will include business meeting with date.<br />As much as times have changed, I still tell my children that women were only allowed to wear trousers to work at my job commencing in 1989-90. And, I think they were only allowed to start wearing pants at J Crew about 6 or 7 years ago. Really.<br /> I can only imagine what Mildred would think of the fact that most women would consider a half slip as alien as a crinoline : )<br /><br />Pat Olskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08122299121164106652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049514221380220929.post-57784045619657717452015-03-23T21:23:44.634-04:002015-03-23T21:23:44.634-04:00This!
