When Life Gives You Lemons!

When Life Gives You Lemons!

     Changing my style helped me to become a new more confident woman. It also helped me discover something I love: shopping. One of the comments on this blog said, “You sound like a serious shopper.” (http://fashionoverfifty.blogspot.com/) That’s putting it mildly.

Go Ahead…Stick Your Neck Out!

Go Ahead…Stick Your Neck Out!
