Your FURreal Friend

Today is my favorite day of the week now thanks to my niece, Michele who brought us

Dress Up Wednesday

Check her blog out here:  No Model Lady

Today I could be Sophia, a High Society lady in New York. 

Living out of homes in England, Italy and the United States.  A true lady who raises her children as all of us should...with the loving care of proper nannies and boarding schools.

Faux fur? uhmmm....never for this girl.

Or I could actually just be little ole me, Lise Marie having fun with her fabulous photographer

friend Shannon Bailey on the streets of Athens (Georgia that is!)

She raises her kids with her own heart and hands.

I hope your day is as fabulous as I feel in this outfit ladies (and gentlemen readers as well).

Let Me Be Your Teddy Bear

Put a chain around my neck, and lead me anywhere. Oh let me be....your teddy bear.

The kids went back to school today. They were hating life this morning. It's been 17 days of staying up late and sleeping in. 6:30 was a shock to their systems! And it's report card day. I wonder if that had anything to do with it? LOL

I finally learned how to use the self timer on my camera!! I'm so proud of myself. But, man, it's hard to take pictures of yourself! I miss Lise being here every day to do it!!! I just miss Lise period!!

Today I am trying to be Elvis' teddy bear in my cardigan with the fur collar and cuffs. It's so cozy and I keep wanting to pet myself. (And apparently, I'm on a fur kick!) I got this cardi at Goodwill this weekend. It was new with the tags!! And it was only $5!! I paired it with my teddy bear brown wool skirt from Gap that was also thrifted from Goodwill for $5. And my new brown boots from Target. I think my skirt may be a touch short. Hmmm... Oh, well. I felt I needed some color and chose this teal Ann Taylor blouse. The necklace I have on, I got for Christmas last year and I think this may be the first time I've ever worn it. I have a hard time figuring out what earrings to put with it because it's so chunky. I ended up with silver hoops but it seems boring. Any ideas?

Close up so you can see the necklace.
