White Pants

by //

So what do you think? Are white pants out after Labor Day? I tend to wear them all through winter. Is that bad? I don’t understand why “winter white” is acceptable but white white isn’t. I think it’s only acceptable because someone added the word “winter” in the name to make themselves feel better about wearing white after Labor Day. So I’m just gonna keep wearing my white pants with pride all through the Fall and Winter seasons.

Do you wear white in the winter? Or just winter white?

PS:  I scored these earrings at The Limited for $6.99! I love deals!

So, this is totally not current, but it’s good for you to see some oldies, right? Maybe sometime I’ll even show you me with blond hair! This time, you get to see short hair Linda. She has since decided not to go short again as it is not the most flattering.

Remember when I told you if you wanted to make friends carry around a ukulele through the airport? Well this is when I did just that. My sister-in-law had a destination wedding in Sarasota, FL and Bob and I were the rock-star performers, ukulele included. I unfortunately don’t have a pic of the uke, but there is one of me and Bobby singing “1 2 3 4” by the Plain White T’s while everyone exited. Oh yeah, it was hot. Especially the part when all our family was walking up the aisle and we were stuck on the side and they were all talking and it totally distracted us and we quit singing for a few lines. Ha ha! Ah well.

Oh, and the best part? I my bestie Gertie got to come take the pics! Yeah, she’s a traveling photographer in case you want to book her. Such a tough job she has. 😉
