I've added a few pieces to my clothing wardrobe...I've discovered all my swimwear from last year just won't do! You know the downside to losing weight? In my opinion. Extra skin..not to mention I'm no longer a spring chicken!
Maybe once my knee replacement is in the rearview....I'll be able to get into some gentle workouts. Remember this time last year.....when I was going to bounce class? I loved going....and never had so much fun working out! Although low impact.....my knee did not agree!
You'd think if one was going to suffer a heart attack.....bounce class would have been the place! Not sitting home, quietly entertaining....but I digress....moving on....
I chose rash guard SPF to try out in the pool this summer. I thought I would hate it....surprisingly...I do not! The shorts are not quite as long on me....and I'm happy with the shorter sleeves. I had ordered a set prior, only to discover the top had no bra inserts. And that wouldn't do....returned it & ordered a set that does...stylish, no?
And I'm crushing on this set!! Who doesn't love flamingos? I plan to order....grand daughter wears these as well..she & her Mimi are going to rock poolside this summer!
I have been maintaining my weight loss....and was advised not to lose any more than seven additional pounds...(said no one to me ever)....my diabetic nutritionist feels since I've lost a substantial amount of weight....I'm close enough to goal. (hers...not mine). I was pleasantly surprised though in picking up these cargo pants....I needed to size down to a 10! Me...in a size 10! Now...it's likely the style...they are loose fit & have elastic on the sides as the waist....I currently have a size medium beige pair...both are super comfortable...
A local clothing store was having an amazing sale....I picked up a few pieces....loving this black lacy top....plan to wear it with jeans or jean skirt...
This sweater (since we are still in a deep freeze here)...is so warm and cozy....and soft...the colour is a soft teal....I have a similar one in pink .....we need lots of warm sweaters here!!
This one, along with the black top....will need to wait til warmer weather....pink is my favourite colour & this one has the prettiest buttons on the neck closure....
This is my third vest I've picked up....I wear them with long sleeve t-shirts or tops....usually with my go to pants.....jeans....
Who doesn't love Henley t-shirts? (I remember wearing these as a teenager!) Some things never go out of style....I chose a couple of colours...
My hand warmers are due to be delivered today! Back story - I have Reynaud's Syndrome (yup...add that to my list of ailments)....if you aren't familiar Reynaud's is part usually of an autoimmune disease. You lose circulation in your hands and toes....(mostly hands).....where they turn white & go numb when I'm cold or anxious. It happens frequently throughout the day....it's even happens in the pool....during heatwaves!
My previous set quit working after a few short months. I was able to return them & ordered a different set in hopes they will last longer. They work really well....are rechargeable & it's best to slip them into a pair of mittens prior to heading outdoors.
One gal I chatted with has rechargeable warming gloves....I prefer mittens, they work best for me. These fit right in the palm of your hands & have three heat settings. It can be a bit painful when your hands begin to warm up & circulation returns.....so I use the lowest heat setting. For many years....I drove to work with my hands on the heat vents in the car!
Update on the bedroom - it is finished! I haven't pulled it together yet....we wanted to give everything a thorough wipe down....including the hardwood floor using Murphy's Oil soap....
I'm not using the bedding I had originally planned! That's just me. It has to click...and when it doesn't....I go in an opposite direction...
I'm waiting for this set to arrive - it is from Waverly....called Stencil Vine....a gray/charcoal colour.....quilt with sham & striped bedskirt....
I'm obsessed with the matching valances......can't wait to see them hung on my white curtain rod....I hope you stay tuned....
I'm also waiting for the mattress cover to arrive....this is the same one we have in our bedroom & second bedroom....it is very puffy & amazing quality....
It was a bit of a messy late afternoon & overnight....it started to snow....and was still snowing at bed time. The winds had come up....and it made for a messy drive home for commuters....and a cold windchill!
Schools & work places are on delayed openings....some will likely close for the day! We are getting into the real "teeth" of winter!
We have a beef stew ready to go in the crockpot....and plan to stay cozied up by the wood stove today...
Thanks so much for reading along today! I hope you have an awesome day....
Until next time....
