Clothes shopping has always been a challenge for me, although I'm not overweight (well maybe 10 lbs) I think that my legs are too short, boobs are too big, waist is too long, (especially for dressses) A few years back I actually worked in fashion for 8 years, it was fun...I lived in black. That work experience gave me lots of great stories and a love of fashion in the sense that I appreciate the creativity and find that it can be rather entertaining but.....in no way are most of the fashions presented yearly my reality. Now like you I live in jeans, tees, sweaters and hoodies except on Sunday when I wear a skirt to church. I really love all that you do with your clever shopping and wardrobing. I find it a real challenge to find clothes that work for my age but don't make me look dowdy....the fall color and fashions leave everything to be desired...like really classic, wearable beautiful styles.

I was also wondering about the cute jeans you had on. I love all your jeans, so any help on that would help too. <br /><br />Also, I have always read Sarah's blog "One Day with Sarah" and went to visit her and it was gone, how sad! Do you know if she's okay, and if she just stopped blogging, or moved somewhere else? I just loved her too! <br /><br />thank you, hopefully this post won't disappear :) xo<br />~sandy Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-52502720022766283092015-08-21T10:55:14.308-07:002015-08-21T10:55:14.308-07:00Super video !

Just go thru the original post and make a list of everybody who you couldn't answer, then start the new post and list them..."To Jane Doe," then your response to the comment they'd left. "To John Doe," then your response to the comment they'd just left. And so on and so on. The rest of us can just refer back to the original post to match response with response. Just a thought. Because it is frustrating you and then would be less stressful! Just a way to maybe finish the incomplete task! That whole original post was very, very interesting...I personally would be interested to know all of your replies to the heartfelt comments left. Or, on the other hand, I think everybody understands by now that your computer has sort of 'crippled' you temporarily; and you're never under obligation to reply to commenters anyway, in my opinion. It's just you're so nice about it and you've created such a lovely community here...because of it.
