Some New Additions

Here we are....close to kicking February to the curb!  Even with the miserable weather & cold temperatures....the month has flown by!

I dropped off a large bag of clothes to goodwill...all too big & baggy....some I didn't even get a chance to wear.  So, of course I've been adding a lot of new pieces...these items I ordered from Hudson's online Boutique, (which is closing it's doors)...great time to pick up some new items...crushing on this sweater I ordered......

This one is a little wild.... the colours are gorgeous....and I'm a kid from the 70's....bit reminiscent of my youth maybe....

I picked up this leather bag...and am finding it very roomy to store my wallet, cell phone, hand warmers, keys & whatever else I need to bring along....it's bit enough without being too big...and I prefer a long strap so I can hang it on my shoulder...

I picked up a few pieces for summer....(daughter wants to do a bit of shopping on the weekend...she has a number of gift cards to use)I'm always up for that!!  This adorable skort & matching top are so comfortable & the softest fabric...the top shows a little variation in colour....but they are a matching set....the prettiest coral-pink shade...

 

These sweatpants (made with the same beautiful, soft fabric)....came with a matching top as well....but I just picked up the pants...

I couldn't resist this pretty cardigan....it is available in blue as well... I love the little pops of coral...and the absolute best part?  No hood!!

I detest hoods....and how they put one on just about everything!  I've never wear a hood....and will purposely leave an item in the shop if it has a hood....no matter how much I like the piece!  Anyone else have an aversion to hoods??  Hoods are for children in my opinion....

You have to use a bit of imagination with these leather sandals....I currently have them in yellow, but wasn't able to find a photo......they might be discontinued or sold out.

No matter....they are my go to sandals in the summer....however I'm not a fan of white soles (not shown in the photo)...but mine have white soles.  They get grungy & dirty with wear...and I was always needing to scrub them clean!

Tired of doing that....I dropped them off at a local shoe repair shop.....to have the white soles removed & replaced with brown ones!  This can be done with most footwear....(can you tell my grandfather owned a shoe repair business when I was growing up?).   

These are the German made sandals I'm referring to...super comfortable & well worth investing in new soles.  Many years of wear left in mine.  I gotta admit...I'm a bit obsessed with the navy ones though.....

Looking forward to new walking sneakers....these ones I'm hoping will be great!  The reviews are awesome....I've been advised after my knee replacement there will be physical therapy & walking to get me up & moving again....these should come in handy....

I already have these in the Chestnut colour....but couldn't resist getting another pair in red!  So comfortable & warm....the only downside is when it's slushy & wet outside...I don't want water or salt stains to ruin them....or get them wet....

And just like last time....them men's sizes were cheaper than the women's!  Go figure....

And lastly....a couple of pairs of denims from Halara.  The overalls I had ordered in a size large... were much too baggy.  I reordered them in a size medium...along with these jeans...wide leg pull ons...(I had these in large...and like the overalls found them too baggy)....trying a size medium in them now....

As well as a pair of the casual flare jeans...the stretch & comfort of these jeans is second to none!!

And lastly, I've ventured into the world of Temu!  Just a couple of pieces I think I can get away with quality wise...a long sleeve tee....who doesn't love a fat cat??

And a summer jumper....with a t-shirt underneath....I think it could work....but that is as brave as I got...I'll let you know when the pieces arrive....

Now....if I could fast forward to winter being over....I'm so ready for spring & summer!  It has been great the last few days to be able to take Liesel for short walks.  We pick an area that isn't coated with a bazillion buckets of road salt....and is dry enough to venture about....

The last couple of days her tummy woes have returned....breaks my heart that she is getting older & having health issues....I'm not ready for the senior years.  I cannot believe she will turn eleven in July....

She did enjoy a short car ride and stroll about a housing development a few times.....we've had some milder temps & sun!!
