NP!

I had to run several errands at Northpark this evening so I decided to look for the boots, or a pair of boots. Well absolutely nothing was satisfying so I left with nothing to keep the feet warm. I just do not think it is worth it to settle and buy something that it not what I want. It really is just a waste of money and in the long run I will likely not wear them. I am going to look again when home in MN and see what I come up with. A plus about shopping there is that there is NO clothing sales tax. Anyway, I did not leave without bags in tow. I stopped in J Crew and found some fabulous turtlenecks on sale for $39.99 plus an additional 30% off. I could not resist!
This is actually a pale coral in person, not an orange at all. I will take a photo so you can see!
You can never have too many neutrals and for $30 I had to scoop this color up!
These turtlenecks are great and I also have the magenta and cream and wear them at least once a week. They are not too heavy and the colors are so happy. What more could one ask for?!
Sorry for the lack of posts this week, life is far too busy to stay perfectly on top of everything! I promise to pay you back on Sunday though....stay tuned because you will LOVE it! Off to write letters to our service men and women who will be spending Christmas in Walter Reed (if anyone has a free moment and wants to also write drop me a line and I will send you a name or two or twenty and their address!). We owe so much to them!!

I just wanted to tell you that I think that you are possibly the sweetest blogger I have ever "known". Your family must be very proud of you! Cheers!

I thought of you yesterday.

I was at the Hawks game, and the girl in front of me was wearing those TB boots.

Not as cute in person as I had expected. They looked REALLY uncomfortable :)

Glad you found some steals at J.Crew!

Hey Hopsy. I'll happily take 2 names. My children can make pictures to enclose with my letters. It will be fun. Thanks!! I'll email you to follow up.

We really haven't had a chance to wear turtlenecks yet this year!

What cute finds! I don't have many turtlenecks, but I probably need to invest in a few. How nice of you to send those letters, I know that will make their day.

I'm wearing one of those J.Crew turtlenecks today, and I also adore them! I think I'm going to order a few more after Christmas.
