When life gives you lemons, Shop!

I receive emails everyday tempting me to buy a new dress, a new pair of heels or a new something else. I consider perusing the offerings, but resist because I don’t know when I will have the opportunity to go out dressed to the nines again.

As it is, I have a  backlog of new outfits to wear out and did not need to add to that backlog. So I promised myself that I would not buy anything for milady until the pandemic blows over.

Then I received an email from JustFab advertising a 60% off everything sale. I was a good girl and deleted the email without visiting their website.

But after two weeks without leaving the premises, my bushel basket of lemons was overflowing. I needed a break from the inaction, so when the 60% sale arrived in my inbox again, I took the plunge and visited the JustFab.

The first thing I encountered was the outfit you see on the right: a pink tweed cropped jacket and matching tweed high-waisted shorts.

“I wish I had the legs to pull off that outfit,” I thought to myself.

Then I reconsidered, “Maybe I do have the legs to pull off that outfit!”

So I added the outfit to my virtual shopping cart, paid the virtual cashier and sipped a glass of lemonade waiting for the man to deliver to milady.

  1. Thanks for the link to Just Fab. Shoes for $10, and then some. How can a girl go wrong? And you don't have to leave home. Let's hope we can eventually show off all these new outfits at some point.

    1. I think that sailor might have been the inspiration for The Village People's "In the Navy". Ha!

  8. What's this about "legs"?? Hosiery companies should be using your fabulous legs for their commercials! Promise you'll model that outfit and post photos for us.

  9. A proper history (with photos) for S.S.Caronia
    Was our fumulator a Passenger? Crew?
    Definitely a FUN CRUISE SHIP.
    Perhaps our femulator was dressed for the coronation of the Queen? (read the history).

    1. Actually it was a drag show. Cruise ships became a refuge for gay men in the UK during the 50 and 60's after many in government were persecuted for being gay.
