I’m not being facetious in the least. Those shooties are adorable. So are those Mary Janes! But back to my wardrobe planning for my days as a Golden Girl in the Home.
Nothing says relax like Frankie and this selection of velour coordinates. “Pull-On Pant” is a fun descriptor. So is “velour tunic with detailed neckline.”
I tell you this, though. No matter what happens, no matter what I shall never wear a “Face Framer Fleece Sweater”.
I’m guessing it wouldn’t be joyful.
Husbands are so hard to shop for, aren’t they? But what about a little something something for some costume wearing, role playing fun?
Speaking of sexytimes, how about a sexy “Ultra-Plush High-Pile Animal-Print Velour Throw”? There certainly is a lot of velour in this catalogue, no? We love our velour. We want to be ensconced in velour, like a low-rent George Costanza. A low-rent George Costanza, hoo boy, that is something to aspire to. But who wouldn’t like an ultra-plus high-pile animal-print on their bed? Tiger? Panda? No, I’m too Canadian for those animals. Give me a snowy wolf or a deer any day.
Love that dress! You look lovely in it as well! My only beef with BR’s vanity sizing is that it makes it really hard for me to order things online. Should I go with my usual size? Or two sizes smaller? When I can get to the store to try things on, I constantly have to bring two of each into the dressing room and even then often get it wrong. While it is a balm to my ego, it’s also confusing.
I had so many thoughts about the various Sears items that I find I am overwhelmed and cannot choose. However, I’m fairly certain that if I wore anything velour from there, I might as well just attach a sign on myself that says “Husband, I’m hoping to turn you off forever because I no longer enjoy sex.”
This is just comedy gold, Nicole. That dress is STUNNING and you look gorgeous in it.
I would wear the hell out of that velour caftan. I WOULD.
Holy crap, you look GORGEOUS in that dress – you should branch out ever-so-slightly hardly-at-all from solid black a tiny bit more often.
If your husband’s anything like mine, I don’t think ANY frumpy Mrs Santa dress would result in ‘no sex ever again’. Maybe if I wore a t-shirt with my ex-boyfriend’s picture on it. Nah, not even that.
Face-framing fleece sweaters for all my friends!
I love that Banana Republic dress on you – you look amazing! Hope the party was a blast.
It’s so sad that velour has that kind of effect on men. If only they could all be like George Costanza.
As for nighshirts – we were watching an old movie the other day and a boy in it came downstairs in the night in his nightshirt. My daughters were HORRIFIED – WHAT IS HE WEARING? The just could not believe this used to be standard sleepwear for the male half of the species. I think I should get that red plaid one for their dad just to prove a point. He’d totally back me up on this, don’t you think?
I love your sears catalog posts! I was laughing so hard my cheeks hurt! I do like some of the shoes, as a matter of fact I have the little black lace up shooties from naturalizer..Witch shoes are back in! lol Second I need me a velvet suit..hell ya! so I can wear it on one of those velvet blankets..Grrrrrr sexy bitch!
Third..I love your monochromatic dress it looks great on you and Black and white is so on trend for all seasons this year
Straight up Christmas party eh? We hardly see those anymore. It’s happy holidays and here’s a turkey.
Having a kid makes dressing up as naughty santa and his wife kind of dirty weird.
PS. I hate Horse face Jessica
PPS. Are you going to rock out in those pull on pants with a matching plastic applique sweater? Do it.
Oh no don’t pay $39.99 for that tiger throw. I saw Arctic Wolf ones at London Drugs for $19.99.
And when I thought I couldn’t laugh any louder, then came the Santa costumes. Thank you ever so much, I am jollied beyond belief..you may consider this your good advent deed for the day if you like.
