FYI: I do this entire blog from my Droid phone (except header pic, obviously), snatching moments out of my busy work day for quick photos. My photo sizes may be erratic, and the quality isn't stellar. I am not a professional blogger, and do not have time for lots of scenic poses with a great camera. However, I DO appreciate your continued feedback, even in the absence of photographic artistry.

Book Club Night

We read a novel based on the couple, Henry Rathbone and Clara Harris (spoilers, darling), who accompanied President and Mrs. Lincoln to a play one fateful evening at Ford's Theater (background for the non-U.S.-based readers).

To be perfectly frank, the history is interesting... but the book was a bit of a slog. Hard to get through, it drags in many parts... but at least I had fun chatting away with the ladies!

And I finished up the FABruary challenge! Thursday's theme was "Shades of Grey". Easy-peasy:

I decided to keep the neckline simple, so I did not wear the pendant this time:

But I did want a little sparkle:

I'm trying to decide if the look of the hemline, shoes, and contrasting socks is dorky or cool. Your thoughts?

  2. I like the Mary Janes with those socks. The sweater is extremely figure-flattering.

  3. I think your pants are too short. Fairly consistently. Don't know why, it's not like you grew. If they are going to be shorter, they need to be narrower, though I know you don't care for that silhouette.

    1. I keep trying to lose weight so that I can justify buying new, longer pants… but I suck at it!

  4. Love abalone jewelry; so pretty and versatile.
    I'm glad you reviewed that book honestly. Some friends and I are starting a book club and are currently considering books. I'm super excited.
