The Old Man IS Snoring

It's raining again!!! Yay!!! It poured for a couple of hours on Saturday night and then last night a huge boom of thunder woke me and Elli up about 3 AM in the morning. So it's a crap shoot as to whether or not Jim the Painter will be able to work today. I guess I will find out when I get home.

Well, if you are anything like me, then you cannot resist an offer that's too good to be true - or at least good enough to be true. So when I ordered the Calvin Klein dress and the Catherine Malandrino sweater from Saks a couple of weeks ago, they sent me an offer for buy one, get two free on all clearance items. Of course, I ordered. Two of the items came this weekend. First, a pair of Vigoss track pants.

They are heather gray knit in the front, and have an elasticized drawstring waist. In the back, they are pleather.

It's not stiff at all. Here's the detail on the waist band.

 

 

I haven't tried them on yet to see how they fit. I also got a Joan Vass waterfall cardigan.

It's a nice substantial knit, in strips of dark tan and black. The collar is very full, so it drapes really nicely.

If you are even more like me, then when you get something new that you really like, you can't wait to wear it.

Look how nice and full this cardi is!!! I wore it with old brown trousers and a black turtleneck. For a little pizazz, I tied and animal print belt around the waist.

Here's one more view of the sweater.

I didn't need a coat today with this sweater. I decided to wear a longer costume necklace with some colored stations and some animal stations.

I had a bit of a tough choice when it came to shoes. I know it would be a bootie day, but which ones?

                                                                                or

I guess the answer is obvious, since you can see my brown pants in the top picture. I think I will use the bottom pic to lure viewers in while participating (late) in Sheila's Shoe Shine Saturday at www.sheilaephemera.blogspot.com. It's always a fun linkup!!! Also, since it Monday, and we are talking shoes already, Cherie is hosting Shoe and Tell at www.stylenudge.com . The last linky will be with Rachelle at www.pinksole.com for How I Fall. She looks beautiful today, as always. Well, I hope you have a great Monday, and see you soon!!!
