Hi skingirl,

Yeah, sitting on my hands is what I am resorting to it seems. So many things I have in my faves are now on clearance and I’m trying to be strong! Lol! I did buy (waitlisted) the Marla dress. I wasn’t sure but they said the black ones were almost gone so I went ahead and got it. It looked so cute on Marlo Smith and I imagined wearing it with boots and then I saw Amy later on wearing it belted and I gave in. I will let you know how it works out. I have been on a quest for a perfect black dress. What items tempted you?
I am waiting for tall boots too. I want some rich dark brown ones. I got the Steve Madden chocolate suede ones last year that are now full price again. I got them as the TS. I want some leather ones now with some snake embossed texture or a slouchy suede. I love boots. 😀

Hi skingirl!

I totally agree! I think it would be fair revenge for Joy to buy them and hire Mindy Grossman away from Oprah! I’m not into revenge at all but just sayin”…
Any of those women would do a great job building an empire on shopping channels. I hope one of them does it. I’d even be happy to see Barry Diller buy it and make it the way HSN used to be when all the great fashion vendors used to be here. I’d love to see him come back to HSN with Mindy Grossman. WHEN is Iman coming back? It will be September soon! Sigh…

Oh, I forgot to mention I hoard shoes, purses, scarves and hats too! But I think you knew that too, right? Lol. I blame it on fall. I have been cleaning out and purging my closet and drawers so it is much more manageable now. I am a maximalist trying to become a minimalist. I dream of having a more streamlined closet but it takes time for habits to die. I am making much progress though! 😀

@skingirl,

NO, definitely does not sound like me. I detest sharkbite hems and I like my necklines simple because I hoard jewelry! I know you are not surprised. Lol. I basically have 3 looks. Classic (pencil skirts (or trousers) with nice silk blouses or cashmere sweaters, wrap dresses, jeans with nice sweaters or blouses), boho/western (flowy simple dresses or skirts, jeans and flowy blouses, long duster sweaters), or my at home chillin’ with the kitties look ( yoga or jogger pants and tees or slouchy sweaters). That’s it, nothing complicated. If Evine only offers sharkbite hems or overdone tops then they need to change it up a bit to include styles most of us wear.
Do you think someone will buy them or do you think they will fold?

@angiep,

I had no idea they were so low for that long, but I don’t watch Evine either. I don’t pay attention to the stocks on any companies except what I have stock in or if I’m considering something else after my son suggests it to me. He isn’t a stock broker (chemical engineer) but he has been spot on about stocks since Jr. high. I am curious now how HSN is doing.

@angiep,

Thank you so much for the birthday wishes! How have you been! Haven’t seen you on much lately, but maybe I have had a lot going on and not on many threads. Hope all is well with you and thanks again for wishing me a happy birthday! I had a great one and really happy I have had another year under my belt! Here’s to many more! 😀

@shoelady60,

Thank you so much for the happy birthday greetings and wishes! Well, I’d say Jake was informed correctly and I enjoyed the company of all the babies all day. Unfortunately I could not take them out to dinner with us, but they were waiting for me when I got home. 😀 Can you imagine? I’d have to request the banquet room! LOL! So funny! 😀

Thank you so much Sheba! Let’s toast! And thank you for remembering… nothing gets past you! 😀 It was a wonderful day!
