I did wonder what you might think about the dance, you being a longtime afficionado, at the very least from following your daughter through her training. But it's rather too big a topic to tackle, isn't it?!materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-8533078544634402692015-02-26T13:35:08.764-08:002015-02-26T13:35:08.764-08:00Oh, I love to think I might be Smart Casual.

The black and brown suits you so well - and the elegance mixed with the flat shoe irreverence seems perfect. As does the half-tuck, a nod to modernity.LPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209861350905135093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-67649563421297333452015-02-26T10:51:24.913-08:002015-02-26T10:51:24.913-08:00Love the skirt.

I've got a bit more leisure daytime this week with Pater around, and if he's good enough to take the time, I try to be patient and keep my smile going while he sets up the shot. ;-) The necklace is actually made of chocolate gold beads (with one white gold, just because). . . materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-59688407417687670922015-02-25T20:29:53.368-08:002015-02-25T20:29:53.368-08:00Thanks, Sue -- and yes, I very much enjoyed your p...Thanks, Sue -- and yes, I very much enjoyed your post today.
