It made me laugh
 Over hearing this.....

My sister to my brother.

" Did you ever take  your wrist watch off of Chloe? Chloe is our Dog!

 I am still trying to picture our Welsh corgi with a wrist watch on.


My Mom to my little brother

"Can you run upstairs and get the roast that is under my radiator?"

The roast was frozen solid and I guess that is the warmest place in the house.

High Heels
 Early 1940's Heels <3!
                                                          Via
Heels are a way to add instant class to an outfit.
There is just something about heels that makes you feel feminine and walk like a lady, unless the heels are so high that you end up looking like a child who's just learning to walk.







Oh how I love Mary Janes    .
                                                               via
My favorite kind of heel to wear is the Mary Jane pump. For me, they are the most comfortable.
Mary Jane's are the best kind of heel to wear with tights.

Black pumps. A wardrobe staple!
Black pumps a wardrobe staple
The classic black pump is a shoe that no lady should be with out.


Skirts that hit around your ankle or a few inches above your ankle can make you look frumpy or slouch when you walk if you aren't wearing heels

I love wearing  high waist skirts with a belt.  Its one of my favorite looks especially if there a cardigan involved. With an outfit like this, I'd usually wear a pair of black heels.  But since we got three inches of snow last night I switched them out for my black boots. Its not fun having wet feet for church.
Its been a beautiful warm day. Around 30 degrees!!!
 Tomorrow its going to be in the single digits again. I changed into a hoody and cameo cargo pants to go for a walk and soak up the sunshine

How was your Sunday?
Stay classy, and have a lovely week

A Game of Catch

Everyone loves to talk. Whether we are talking to someone we haven't seen in a while, to friends or to family, everyone loves to talk

Who doesn't like a good conversation?

But how often when we talk to someone do we actually have a conversation?

Do both parties get to talk an equal amount of time?  Or, do we so love the sound of our own voices that we tend to steal the conversation without letting others get a word in edgewise? Sometimes when the other person finally gets a chance to talk its easy to go into what I call the "brick wall mode." That is to say, a bored and put out look on our face while staring off in space until the other person is done talking.

 The art of conversation is like a game of catch.

We all know how to play catch.  Someone throws us a ball and you catch it and throw it back to them.

A game of catch is just like a conversation should be.  Someone throws you the ball of conversation with a hello or a question.  Are you going to be selfish by keeping the ball of conversation and keep right on talking?  Or, are you going to throw the ball of conversation back their way?

Just remember how fun a game of catch is when you throw the ball to someone and they throw it back to you.

Stay classy and play catch
