Sour Grapes!

I love purple and I love this top because it has little rosettes on it.  The blouse is also flattering to my figure.  The earrings are an Etsy find (I try not to go there as much as I can)  And last but not least the Payless shoes.  You will notice in most of my pictures I am a jeans type of person, but every once in a while I skip them. 

top: Macy's $49 (oops, just had to have it)
earrings:  Etsy can't remember
shoes: Payless $15.99

Always Summer

Elephants!

This is my daughter Katie.  To say the least she is VERY frugal.  So she gets twice as many things as my other daughter and I put together. She almost  always wears dresses. This outfit is super cute.  The gray part is a dress from Cotton On and the elephant top (her favorite animal) is from Forever 21.  Katie always wears flats, usually from Payless.  She is in college now with a Major in Exceptional  Student Education.  She will  be one of my Always Summer models as she dresses way, way better than me.

dress:  Cotton On:  $5.00
Elephant Shirt: Forever 21: $15.00

Hit or Miss

I have a love/hate relationship with Old Navy.  Sure they are great for staples, but when I go in for something "a little more"  I more often come out empty handed than not.  However, I was visiting my daughter at college (which of course, includes a Mother funded shopping spree lol.  I found this shirt and fell in love.  All the colors I love, plus it would look good with my favorites-jeans!

The only one in my size was on the mannequin and I asked the guy in the store if he would take it off, and he did-and cheerfully.

The top is flattering to my body style, washes without wrinkles and is my favorite colors, so right now OLD NAVY Rocks!

Blouse: $25

Beautiful Creatures

I have to say that I have had MAJOR upheaval in my life that has brought me down.  Then I remembered how wonderful it was to share with my Always Summer friends.  I know it has a long time and I will have to do what I can to get you back.  But I hope you will check me out again. The last time I posted I think it was about my daughter's prom dresses, well I am sooooo late as it is in the middle of college now, but I love this picture.

Both dresses are from David's Bridal and they were both around $150.  I am biased but I think that my twins were gorgeous.  Speaking of my twins, they will also be featured in the new and improved Always Summer!  Please join us!

Thinking Maybe I Can Come back...

It has been almost a full year since I have posted here.  Lots of changes in my life, some good others not so great.  My older girls are off to college and even though one of them comes home every night, I miss them like crazy.  I am lonely and not taking care of myself, so I thought that this would give me something to do.  I am going to include some pictures of my big girls, especially Katie who has an eclectic style that I wish I could copy (on an older person basis of course).  Are any of you still out there?  Do any of you still remember me?  I need some friends right now, even if they are not the kind that I can go out to lunch with....xoxo
