It is cold down here in Alabama. It is 11 in the Tennessee Valley. And...what do Southern Belles drink when it is cold outside?  Why, iced tea, of course. Iced tea is seasonless.

 Tomorrow is going to be even colder. It is hard for me to dress for this weather. Most of my work clothes are skirts. I have one nice pair of oants, but they are too big. I'm going to wear them anyway. I can use a belt to hold them up and hide the waist with a blazer. It is expected to get a little bit warmer on Thursday.  I know some parts of the country are really having it bad.  I really feel for them.

If you live where it is cold, please be careful. Don't go outside unless it is an emergency.

Have a good Tuesday.

I've been trying to get things organized. Last week I helped my mother get her house in order for fall.

Last Sunday, I received a wonderful compliment from a young lady at church. She commented on how stylish I looked. I never think of myself as stylish. I had on a black Pendleton Lana skirt, a camel J Crew Jackie cardigan, pearls, Kate Spade bow earrings, black Tory Burch Revas, and a black Longchamp LePliage. It was sealed when she saw me put away my Kate Spade wallet.

In the past couple of years, I have become challenged in the casual attire department. I either have professional work clothes or extremely casual clothes, such as sweats and turtlenecks. Tonight, I managed a decent casual outfit. I wore LL Bean jeans, a red cotton turtleneck sweater, pearls, a gold heart pendent, red Kate Spade bow earrings, black Tory Burch Revas, black Tory Burch satchel, and my black Burberry quilted jacket.  Maybe, I have started to conquer my challenges.

I hope everyone has a good Sunday. I'll try not to stay away so long.

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend. 

It's time to put away the white shoes, white pants and seersucker. 

Saturday, my mother and I went to Sevierville/Pigeon Forge to see what fall goodies we could find.  At Pendleton, I bought two pairs of pants, navy and black and two merino wool turtlenecks.  At Brooks Brothers, I bought a red/white striped blouse, a plum/white striped blouse and a plum v-neck merino wool sweater.  At Bass, I bought a pair of Weejuns with the tassles. At J Crew, I bought 3 Claire cardigans, camel, chartruese and burgandy. At Carter's, I bought my niece a navy cardigan, a pink turtleneck and a white turtleneck.  On the way out of town, we stopped at the Apple Barn and had a fried apple pie for lunch.  We stocked up on apple butter, chow chow and jams.

Sunday, I worked the gate at an Arts in the Park event.  It was a lot of fun.  Today, I have been lazy.  Isn't that what Labor Day is for?  I'm on vacation the remainder of the week.  I hope to get a few chores done and do some more shopping.  I'll keep you update.

I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

I'm still here.

I have a major personal project that I have been working on. More later. Not to worry. It's a great project.

This weekend I'm going to do my fall outlet shopping. I'll report next week on my finds.

I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.
