There is nothing worse than that feeling of a waistband too tight, a sleeve too long (for you) or too short (for me) a constant tug at the hemline. But definately fabulous underwear is a must!!Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09672695564204626763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-10973616954518910312012-06-23T16:54:56.693+02:002012-06-23T16:54:56.693+02:00Vicki, Glad I stopped back to see if anyone had a ...Vicki, Glad I stopped back to see if anyone had a grass-shoe suggestion. (I don't do garden parties very often.)<br /><br />Wedges are an excellent idea. (I'll go shopping in my closet again.) As much as I love the ballerines that many women like to wear, I'm too teeny-tiny to manage that, especially in a crowd.<br /><br />Wedges it is! Et merci! <br /><br />(Thank you, Tish.

But one thing is sure, wearing comfortable, well fitting clothes, makes you feel comfortable, and once you feel comfortable, a lot of stress is erased away on any occasion, be it formal or informal.mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732534795009852825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632687405116920387.post-45505394044954309932012-06-23T01:56:25.648+02:002012-06-23T01:56:25.648+02:00What a great post.

Not so! Many Elsa Peretti designs, for example, are extremely reasonable and <i>gorgeous</i>. Who doesn't love that little turquoise box - even if you give it to yourself?<br /><br />Silver Bunny... So true. I sometimes think if my closet were better organized, I'd have an easier time selecting. Then I think back to days when my closet <i>was</i> more organized. The process was the same!
