Do tell........

Hmmmmmm......I can't tell you what on earth ever possessed me to buy this book, but I can tell you how thoroughly depressed I now am since I've discovered that I could be featured in the "Don't" section of just about every chapter .....seems I'm committing quite a few faux pas ...... for example .....


......hmmmmm.....eyeglass necklace ... you mean like this ....














....and then there's this suggestion....




.....uh oh ..... ugly orthopedic shoes? Well, FIRST of all SOME of us have some achin' dawgs and the thought of anything without some decent arch support is just plain AGONY ..... and besides, I think my "orthopedic shoes" are cute!














.....oh wait...and what was that part about "nothing ages you like wearing gym sneakers outside of the gym"?...... you mean these .....
.....my work shoes that I wear EVERY day .....and not anywhere near a gym! (I also wear them to the post office, bank, and grocery store because when I stop at these places on my way home from work, I still have them on!)

.....OK, next we have ...
......ummmmm.....pale, hairy , flaky legs ..... I'll spare you the picture but trust me, I scored a 3 out of 3 on this one!

.....moving on .....
......uh oh .... elastic waistbands .....









you mean like this?
......what can I say .... work pants .....gross, I know, but practical just outweighs fashion .....




.....and then ...
.........ummmmmmm....looking like you didn't try at all ..........ummmmm.... you mean like this?

(note SNEAKERS being worn outside of the gym, and those are elastic waist pants ..... and how about that school bus YELLOW slicker (well, it's supposed to rain today....)

...oh, wait, now you can see the whole yellow slicker .... pretty slick,huh? (the author of the book will have to add another chapter ... "Nothing ages you like dressing like a 5th grader!"

Well, seeing that I'm definately a fashion/beauty emergency, Lucy made a call ...
... she was able to get me in to see Pheobe Emerson (you know Phoebe Emerson's Charm School..... Lucy and Ethel went and they swore it did wonders ..... so click here and you too can have a lesson in "charm" from Phoebe Emerson's Charm School!)
