Win A Skirt While I Run Errands!

Beginning now until January, life is one big errand to run.  Try as I may, I never remember everything at the grocery or buy every gift early.  This year, I not only have holiday errands, but also wedding errands!

Leaving Dusters In The Dust

Chico’s new catalog arrived yesterday….and my eyes went immediately to this: Artisan Duster Isn’t it beautiful….I really love this garment….however, I made a decision recently to stop wearing dusters until I lose more weight in my hips.  On me, they are just not a flattering look….and I have several…and I love them all!  But the…
