Changes this evening

Here is how I modified the look for evening to make it a little warmer, and to have a bag for my gloves and hat. I'm going to a reading tonight for several authors, at The Writer's Place, in KC.

The loss of an old friend.....

I have loved this suit for a long time now, ever since I picked it out of the Newport News catalog. But today, shortly after the photos were taken, I took off the skirt to try on another one and when I went to put my skirt back on the zipper broke. Nothing that a good seamstress can't fix, but I know myself and I'm notoriously bad for getting that kind of stuff done.

Anyhow, here is my retro look today, complete with veiled hat and white kidskin gloves.

Crete

We just returned from an amazing trip to the Grecian island of Crete. Here are some photos from our trip:

Grandpa Roland

This is a photo from my trip last week to Michigan to visit my Grandpa. He was just moved into a nursing home and misses his independence, so I thought a visit might cheer his spirits. He is a beautiful, kind, funny man whom I am honored to be related to. I'll never forget when, as I bent to kiss him goodbye, he said, "You're such a pretty girl," and he had the sweetest look in his eyes. Magic. He's the eldest of twelve children, born in Michigan, loves golf and dogs,  and is kind to all of his caretakers, fearful of being a burden to anyone. Though his hands tremor with parkinsens they are long and graceful. Though he can no longer read his eyes are clear and blue like the deep ocean. I love him very much.  

What we're wearing: Smiles!

A little different

So, my feet were not happy after running around town in those blue and white heels, so before going out this afternoon I changed my hair and put on some flats. I think it changes the feel of the whole outfit.

What a lovely day, and what else would be appropriate but a lovely dress and parasol.

Patterns

This is my first attempt at mixing patterns; I hope I did okay. I tried to channel glamour, business, and almost a burlesque feeling in my outfit. How do you think that comes through?
