A little more ankle...

Another warmish day and an opportunity to bare some skin, on my ankle that is.

 I loved the way this outfit came together with such a classic feel.

Aviators, red pants,silk shirt, leopard and a trench: timeless pieces for my fashion collection.

Full on Layers

I found these photos of an outfit I had worn before the snow let up.

These do a good job of showing how much I layer up in the winter around here. Leggings, shirt, skirt, jacket, puffy vest, boots and the down jacket I didn't pose in for the real warmth! I had to take the vest off to show the details of the pocket I loved on this jacket

I loved how this pleated skirt contrasted with the black and blue and grey; I call it my watercolor skirt.

Strength for Today

Belated Post: Thanksgiving in South Carolina

Found these photos on my iphone. I wore it one day during my trip to Hilton Head, SC to visit my husband's parents.

 I liked the fun skirt, baseball T and statement necklace.

 Sorry to include the bathroom sink but my iphone photo skills are not up-to-par!

Denim on Denim

Cropped pants are as hot as ever for spring and thrifting a pair of cropped boyfriend jeans last week gave me a reason to put some on!

 

The weather also warmed up to forty so I didn't feel so foolish wearing these outside!

The suede wedges anchored this look to still feel seasonally appropriate.

Yes, there is still plenty of snow on the ground but, I have to say, it was fun to break out of the boot habit!

Today at Oncology

Pictures today from my visit to the oncologist:

I love this silk taffeta skirt; it is J.Crew and is called the sketch book roses skirt. Since it is still winter where I live, with fresh snow this morning, tights and boots were necessary. I polished the outfit up with this green statement necklace and felt great.

It didn't hurt that all the great ladies at the ROC were complementing my outfit, too! They made this one boobed, stage IV breast cancer fighting girl, feel awesome. Thanks to all of you for your continued support and prayers!

A little respite

A beautiful day made more beautiful by having a skating rink right in my front yard. 

I love to ice skate, I've been doing it on any tiny patch or pond or creek of ice I could find for the last 35 years.

I thank everyone for their continued support and prayers as I fight this battle against breast cancer. I am going to use up some pre surgery photos before I start posting new post mastectomy ones. I'm feeling stronger and I am looking forward to having my drains removed so I can dress normally!
