 SPRING'S BEEN KIDNAPPED!

Coat, hat, boots? Yes, please. Coat was thrifted in North Carolina, I changed out the buttons, the leggings are really old

This dress was thrifted for $5.99, it still had the store tag on it, $98!  Really? I made trhe hat years ago, the belt was thrifted

I have  issues on how woman's clothes are sized. The dress I have on is labeled "size 18", the coat is labeled "size 24". No wonder women have body size issues. I buy something if it fits, to hell with the size.

    I'm with you on pant sizing though. The variations are ridiculous.
    This dress is super flattering on you and so are the colors in this post. Fabulous coat too!

      Pants are a nightmare! I once tried on 5 pair that were the same size as what I was wearing....none of them fit!

      I love the dress and the use of the wine bottles in your garden!
      I do understand the size dilemma and how frustrating it is that one size fits and then a completely different size also fits?

      we live on a corner and the thought of sending $$$ on edging was a no. My husband wants to make sure I tell everyone it was his idea.

    You look great, love the coat and the purple hat, looks great with your hair.
    Oh sizing is ridiculous, I am more likely to go by eye than size label. I don't care a out the numbers, just the fit! xxx

    Indeed, I have clothes from an 8 to a 16! (all currently worn). And jeans sizing confuses me totally. You look great anyway, although I have no idea what Spanish moss is. Does it grow downwards off trees?

      Spanish moss is a parasite plant that grows all over. I'm doing a post shortly that will feature it.
