What do you think???

I don’t know why I was thinking about this. Maybe with all the weddings that I have been to this year, and the prom that my daughter attended. But what do you think about the tuxedo vest? I’ve noticed with the people that I’ve come in contact with and searching on the internet, that you can do all different things with vests. You can match your tux, such as black on black or you could do black with gray. Or there is the ever popular, matching the date’s dress. And there is several different fabric textures. So what do you think is the best look??

I’m thinking about doing a weekly or monthly post on a “what do you think?” subject. I think I will enjoy the feedback and see how others think about things. Thanks for your input.

A Good Saturday…

I had a good day yesterday. I didn’t have to work so I got some work done around the house. In the evening, I went and picked up my mom to go watch the Christmas parade. It started at six that evening and was led by the sheriff, ROTC and then the band (it was Krista’s last Christmas parade) it was a really good parade. Afterwards, Krista and I took my mom to do her Christmas shopping. We went to the mall and got all her shopping done at Goody’s (it’s a family clothing store) and she got some really good deals. Then we headed over to Wal-Mart to do some grocery shopping. It was 11:15 before we got out of there. Mama said that it was the latest that she had been out shopping in a long time. But I think she had a good time.  Oh, I about forgot I did some shopping for my husband….he got me a quilted jacket. Yeah, I got my gift from him last night (at least I know I’m getting what I want). There’s a lady from work that has a quilted jacket and she wore it last week and I really liked it. So Goody’s had them and they were on sale plus yesterday you could take an additional 25% off a single item….so I got a really good deal on it.

So we had a great evening….just me, mama and Krista. But Krista didn’t find anything she wanted for Christmas from mama….so mama got all of her Christmas shopping done except for Krista. But it was a great shopping trip!!

Old Navy

My family (well, the girls) and I love shopping at Old Navy. We are all big women, and cannot wear the skinny clothing that most stores sell. However, we can always find something at Old Navy. They have very cute, fashionable items, and they are more affordable than Gap and American Eagle. Krista has been buying a lot of their “Sweetheart” jeans because they fit better than anyone else’s jeans. I like getting cheap tops from there. I have many different colors! We prefer to shop in the store, but we never pass up sales on their websites. This store has something for every one and every size!

Thinking of a new business venture

05.23.2008 | 1:20 am | General | Tags: ,

My daughter and I have been talking about wanting to open a consignment shop here in our town. I think it would be a neat thing. Owning your own business would be a great sense of accomplishment I am sure. If we decide to do that, we would have to gather up as much as free and cheap clothing and other used items as we could. We will be accepting everything from baby clothes to NFL apparel. We have a good bit of things between the two of us and our family, but we would need a lot more! I think somethings would sell good…maybe if we had some Atlanta Falcons NFL football jerseys, since we are in Georgia! I just wonder if a store like that would get good business around here…
