I'm quite fond of Cherie myself, she's sort of like the evil twin -- difficult to control sometimes.<br /><br />She is absolutely thrilled you are all wearing aprons, they're sort of sexy in a weird way. When they're whipped off after the preparation of a delicious meal all of a sudden a woman turns into a hostess. The transformation is fascinating.<br /><br />xo,<br />Cherietishjett@yahoo.comhttp://afemmeduncertainage.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-73120391885579007162009-10-25T16:25:58.875+01:002009-10-25T16:25:58.875+01:00Ooooops, Dear Catherine and Drea,
Cherie is in a ...Ooooops, Dear Catherine and Drea,<br /><br />Cherie is in a state of despair over her little lapse regarding tights -- opaque and otherwise. (Cherie also likes to exaggerate, but that's beside the point.)<br /><br />Exceptionnellement, as we say over here she will take time out of this exceptionally busy day to respond to your questions today instead of making you wait until next Friday. After all between then and now you could have a foot of snow in Chicago and Cherie would not like to be responsible for any sniffles.<br /><br />Opaques, definitely: stock-up. Cherie is aware Catherine likes purples Cherie says, go for it, the darker the better forget about mauve and that other color you like so much. . . But you both must always have on hand black, dark gray and then consider VERY carefully the pattern issue. They're tricky. As you point out Drea they can make one's legs looked diseased; they can also make one's legs look huge. Prudence. Think vertical, vertical, vertical.<br /><br />Oh, yes, red is extremely big this year. That would be fun don't you think?<br /><br />Good luck to both of you. Cherie would love to hear about your fun finds.<br /><br />xoxo,<br />Cherietishjett@yahoo.comhttp://afemmeduncertainage.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-10402068554511955532009-10-25T01:03:56.696+02:002009-10-25T01:03:56.696+02:00Captivating and charming!

Even the thought is likely to bring on a warming trend. <br />However, hopefully in a few years, I will once again be sporting such a chic garment.<br /><br />warm in VictoriaLorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-54644595282180922942009-10-23T21:22:08.080+02:002009-10-23T21:22:08.080+02:00fabulous...love these posts!!!fabulous...love these posts!!!Gypsy Purplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09313129957044860401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-21146210953449894282009-10-23T21:21:07.208+02:002009-10-23T21:21:07.208+02:00Whew, I am wearing a black pima cotton turtleneck ...Whew, I am wearing a black pima cotton turtleneck today. Glad to be more or less chic! (Wore it with my slim black slacks and black Repettos to coffee with a friend. A small Audrey Hepburn moment in the black.) I can't bear wool of any kind on my torso, so I go with the softest cotton I can find. <br /><br />I'll be having an apple with lunch today. I'm out of salad greens to serve alongside the goat cheese medallions I'm reheating in the oven, and a sliced apple will be perfect. They are so terribly healthy for you!<br /><br />Aprons are a necessity for me as well, though I don't mind if my guests see me in them. It's off me as soon as I sit down at the table though. <br /><br />Looking forward to the next item on Cherie's "must have" wardrobe list. <br /><br />Agree on the grommets, studs, etc. Not my style at all. Doesn't mean I'd turn down a collier du chien from Hermes though. I'd find a way to make it work.Marsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18263482303983558563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-44436578669769585832009-10-23T21:18:24.799+02:002009-10-23T21:18:24.799+02:00Cherie,

We need to eat apples to lose weight? Or is your dear doctor suggesting that if one eats them, one won't need to bother him? ("An apple a day...")<br /><br />I want one of those aprons. Will have to hunt out Chicago's Vogue fabrics for that pretty floral. Nice excuse to travel south for a day. <br /><br />And dear Cherie, are Frenchwomen comfortable traveling alone within and without the country?
