They provide the basic layer of my business wardrobe, along with two pairs of black trousers and several demure skirts and jackets.<br />As for the vast, sweeping skirts - well, I love such dresses, too, and am not of the opinion that having beautiful dresses means taking away the fabric from starving children; on the contrary, if the money is wisely spent, it can help others by keeping them in employment. And who says one can't wear beautiful clothes and help with social causes at the same time?Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-62567432912159877982013-10-23T16:14:00.464-04:002013-10-23T16:14:00.464-04:00Ooh, we haven't had snow yet.

Not yet. Right now, I sit at my keyboard, old clothes on and a mothy shawl keeping me toasty. <br /><br />Thank you, again, for you Kindle encouragement. I really appreciated it, Nan.Penny O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14665025558373015362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-29778395881935785432013-10-22T18:07:58.807-04:002013-10-22T18:07:58.807-04:00I do this all the time!

I've had too many experiences of loving something, and then the next year or two it isn't around anymore.

She and Jill really tried to do their part and were constantly helping others less fortunate. And I always smiled in understanding at her worries over buying a new outfit. And then when she'd find something in a catalog that she did like she would buy it in 3 colors! One of which was always lavender! <br /><br />What a dear lady!Dewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-26670177582584847962013-10-22T10:20:00.603-04:002013-10-22T10:20:00.603-04:00I do think that autumn is a pensive time.
