Well, Hello Marylou!
Marylou wanted to break out of boredom! |
The treasure I discovered yesterday while un-shopping was named Marylou. I noticed her in the Stein Mart Boutique moving from one extreme fashion item to the next. She looked like a woman with great flair, creativity, and fun. So, I simply asked, “May I take your picture?” Oh yes, of course!
After I complimented her look, she proudly showed me her rings and watch…and it was quite a watch.
Fuzzy Wuzzy Watch! I love it! |
Look at her nails! |
I told her that she seemed like a lady who enjoyed life, to which, she replied, “I sky dive! I try to sky dive four times a year, and I’m 66!” She said, “I was an accountant for 44 years and it was the most boring thing ever, so when I retired I was determined to enjoy my life!”
Now, Mary Lou….. she has style! Part of her style is her joy for living. That is something I have desired that this blog do…communicate a joy for life after 50.
Also recently I discovered this quote from New York fashion icon Lynn Dell:
That’s Marylou….with her unique, joyful style!
Ok, I love her and want to meet her! I bet she has some stories to tell and many more to make!

I get the giggles when I see that watch~and giggles are good.
Did you tell her about this blog? I love the idea of bumping into people you admire and doing on the spot interviews. I give compliments to strangers all the time, but I haven't done this yet.
I like her spirit.
I LOVE her! Yes! Why does it take us so long sometime to pick up that joy of life and let go of our angst over what people may think? ~Serene
