Be patient with me. I have one more week of working the four ten hour days then I'll be back on my usual schedule. Time in the morning to actually enjoy my coffee, read a few blogs, and watch the news...time in the afternoon to make a doctor's appointment or get my hair done. I know SOME people (not my blog friends...people around here) say, Well...you've had Fridays off. Do those other things on Friday.
I say...Do NOT judge me...I'm TOO DARN TIRED FROM WORKING THE LONG FOUR DAYS. I LIKE my routine and when I'm unable to be in my routine due to factors BEYOND my control, I get cranky, So HUSH UP!!!! Sorry, I went a little over the edge there for a minute.
Funny in My Mind asked three questions. How do we pronounce "Legare"...What is my least favorite household chore...and...What is my favorite perfume?
The answers: Legare is named after my uncle, and it is pronounced "La-gree"...just like agree with an L. I'm not a fan of any household chores, but I'm pretty sure that cleaning floors is the least favorite...the sweeping AND mopping part. I'll take cleaning a bathroom over floors ANY day of the week. My favorite scent right now is Marc Jacobs Cucumber. I also like Kai a lot, and find Prada Fleur D'Oranger to be DELICIOUS (but so far I've only had a sample of that one.) I'm still seeking my "signature scent."

A Tale of Two Blessings decided to de-lurk (I love it!) and ask...
If you were starting over, what would you consider the "core" pieces of your wardrobe? (and from where, i.e., what store/brand?
Well, I've always been pretty conservative in my choice of clothing, but try to be fashionable at the same time. If you saw me right now, you'd wonder about that. I have on my old tired (but comfortable) "at home" shorts and a t-shirt...no shoes
Black pants are pretty much the core of my wardrobe. I like the Chicos traveler pants a whole bunch because they are so comfortable and they hide a multitude of weight-related sins. I also buy a lot of basic classic pieces from Talbots because they last forever and aren't so "trendy" that they go out of style the very next season. Of course, I have to have a selection of orange and purple items (GO TIGERS) for football season. My very favorite store is Gwynn's of Mount Pleasant. If I had an unlimited clothing allowance, I'd go there for just about everything. I always feel SO happy when I'm in Gwynn's. I love Lilly Pulitzer, but don't have any for myself right now as my weight is not where I want it to be.

Next post, I'm planning to tackle Religion and Tomato Pie!! QUITE a combination, don't you think? I'll also continue to entertain questions, so keep them coming.
You are too cute. I enjoyed your post and your answers.
ReplyDeleteHa ... and unlike you, many of my posts are about Jesus (seeing below that you don't talk about religion often) and lately I've had to talk about politics.
Have a great day!

I havent tried the new Marc Jacobs cucumber but have heard much about it. Love the Prada though. And will check MJ out.

ReplyDeleteI can't begin to imagine working full time, and having time to anything more than eat and sleep, so not an ounce of judgment from me.
I love Gwyn's, though I think Copper Penny is my fav. You are so lucky to have such great shopping in mt. pleasant!

ReplyDeleteI always look forward to reading your posts. I too would enjoy meeting for lunch sometime, so do let me know when you will be up again this fall. I'll drive over and meet you. We are not going to be at home this weekend anyway. We are going to the mountains for a big family event. I know Legare is excited about starting law school and getting settled into his apartment. Have a great weekend. Love & blessings from NC!
