Take a Word - Skinny



It seems to me we ladies have, for the most part, forgotten how to be elegant.   I have to admit it's quite a long time since I've even worn a dress...and a hat?...even longer!   Maybe that's why so many of us are drawn to the images of the elegantly dressed ladies of times gone by!   Both the background ad and the lady are from Flickr Collage Images.   Thanks for stopping by!

  3. How right you are, Bev. You may claim to have forgotten the elegance of yesteryear but, my oh my, your "skinny" is OOZING with it. It is exquisite and so beautifully put together. One of your very best. Whoohoo.

  4. Or, to keep us from forgetting that this elegance took a whole lot of work.

  9. Not she's elegant but your skinny is of supreme elegance. I guess it's easier to admire those ladies of the past than wearing all that clothes, corsets, gloves and hats...

  11. My 'girls' don't wear dresses often, they all seem to live in jeans these days but I love it when they do.
    I adore your skinny Bev. It's right up my street! xx

  12. Good thought for this season, when legs at least are "out"...
    I'm used to be elegant & I always put a hat on my head, at any season (firstly for my comfort)... But I agree with you, I'm often the only one!
    Bev, if you want to do it, you can do it anyway.
    The more we'll do it, the more people'll do it, don't they?
    Your skinny is really really beautiful & she is so smart!!

  13. And what an elegant lady she is too in her Easter bonnet(?) and smart red coat, Bev. Take a huge bow, my friend.

    Me, I forgot elegance when I discovered an expanding waistline and comfortable clothes!
