Thank you for your comments...as usual, I truly appreciate all of you ideas, thoughts, and in the case of this post, your well wishes.<br /><br />By the time I had published this post, I felt a lot better...something must have been going around. :p<br /><br />To save time, I am answering specific comments/questions...<br /><br />Genny: Thank you for the Avon idea...I will definitely look into it! :)<br /><br />CheesyGoodness: Thank you for that idea, too. I like the "clear" option, for sure. :)<br /><br />Oh, and I am sort of sorry to have enabled, but you will look darling, so I am happy, too. Heehee.<br /><br />crewcrazy: Go with the 2 in the cardi. Please!!! Don't want it to be too big.<br /><br />Weirdly enough, Boden's skirts tend to run small in the waist, so I always order a US 10 Long or UK 14 Long. (I wear a 6 or 8 in J. Crew's pencil skirts...)<br /><br />Hope that helps!dinagideonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892195449655319256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-12957879047577346552010-02-21T19:46:48.938-05:002010-02-21T19:46:48.938-05:00Such a cute photo of you and your children. I'...Such a cute photo of you and your children. I'm a stalker on your blog and love all your outfits. Am starting to wear a little more yellow because of you. I'm also blond and as long as it's a golden yellow, it seems to work! <br /><br />I have a Boden question and am hoping you can help. I'm ready to buy a boyfriend cardi and like the current one on Boden. I'm a small at JC in most sweaters, 2 or XS is most blouses, small in perfect t's and an XS in painter t's or tissue t's. I like the Boden cardi because it's a crewneck. I have no chest and those deep v necks at JC don't work for me. Any advice on size? I'm thinking the 2. Also I have several Boden fun skirts in UK 10. I'm a JC 4 in skirts. Boden size charts say the UK 10 = US 6. Go with the 6 now? Do you have any experience with Boden now that they have switched over to US sizes? <br /><br />If nothing else I'll order two sizes and return. They're pretty quick about crediting returns.<br /><br />Thanks and I hope you are feeling better. This winter has to be over soon!crewcrazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03389798427091989824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-85661756391732854732010-02-21T17:39:16.826-05:002010-02-21T17:39:16.826-05:00Dina!

It is the very devil to get such a nice one, with everyone wearing nice smiles and no closed or crossed eyes! <br /><br />You aren't alone in the quest for no 'rodie marks. When I lived in Savannah I switched to Certain Dri. It literally changed my life! I lived in white shirts (this was many years pre-kid) and had to bleach them due to the type of aluminum used in regular anti-perspirants which cause yellowing. After switching, I never had the yellowing problem, used much less bleach, and I was dry as a bone even in 99% humidity! It is kind of annoying at first, you have to remember to put it on before you go to bed, and if you try to use it right after bathing it can sting the pits a bit. It's a clear roll on, so there's never any residue or white marks. And, it can last for up to three days, sometimes four in the winter, so it saves a good chunk of change, too.<br /><br />I love all the styles you've been sporting lately! I actually had to break a shopping ban due to the gorgeous pics you shared of the stained glass earrings. So pretty! My willpower was just decimated!CheesyGoodnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00778110564941632746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-10065937251856607352010-02-21T07:05:04.431-05:002010-02-21T07:05:04.431-05:00Genny, I went to the Avon website.

I have them too but never quite sure how to wear them - tucked in, or just under bootleg pants. Hmmm. They can work both ways I suppose depending on the outfit.<br /><br />Oh dear JC and pilling yes. At home I can take care of it easily but it's more difficult at the moment without my clothes shaver...and 2 of the 5 sweaters I packed are dream pills!A Bigger Closethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424101564495788389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-77061091448491024282010-02-19T20:57:05.961-05:002010-02-19T20:57:05.961-05:00My friend is the same way- she would nevere wear a...My friend is the same way- she would nevere wear a sweater witout a tee underneath.
