It has taken a while to find out what I want to do with Rattus and to carve regular time to do something of quality or not at all. It is my goal weekly to post an item worthy of the reader's time, so I thank you for yours. <br /><br />On another subject, I really enjoyed reading your blog (I'm saving it to my list). Yes, it is for women: learning that "living a beautiful life is about style, elegance, discipline, simplicity and generosity." But the male species would do well to learn this, and to rely less on their reptilian impulses which historically have displayed themselves on variations of the theme, eat-or-be-eaten. <br /> <br />Humbly yours,<br />RubenRattus Scribushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03504345408685635451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-29796353906627529792010-09-21T15:57:04.876+02:002010-09-21T15:57:04.876+02:00Love the last one!!

She said she only wears grey in fabrics with nap, and I think she's on to something.

I think color sometimes looks to jarring when paired with black (I'm thinking scarves here) but grey works with almost everything. <br /><br />I keep hoping to see something in camel that I need, but so far, it's been almost absent on the racks here.Susan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005855250089328310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-82897169754710497352010-09-21T14:46:44.925+02:002010-09-21T14:46:44.925+02:00I'm very excited to wear my grey and actually ...I'm very excited to wear my grey and actually be "in style"!
