My New Blouse

Yesterday was not only the Ides of March, but my brother's birthday. In lieu of a gift, my husband and I treated him and his wife to dinner at a new French restaurant. When my husband saw me dressed up, he told me that he loved my blouse and the silly man asked if it was new. He forgot that he bought it for me when we first arrived in Florida. Men! Gotta love them. I finally had a chance to wear it after three months. We made reservations for courtyard dining around a beautiful outdoor garden. It wasn't too hot or too cool, and the blouse was worth the wait. I still have a closet full of clothes I haven't had the chance to wear, yet, so will box them up and ship them home. Do you have unworn clothes in your closet, too?

That seems to be something everyone is guilty of at some point, even the guys!

My husband's excuse is that he can't fit into his clothes. Quite true!

Yes and most of them are dressy and I have not been anywhere to wear them.

I love your blouse. I have jeans from clear back before 2003 that I haven't worn in years even though they still fit. I want a pair of bell-bottoms.

Thanks! 2003 and they still fit? Lucky you! I gave mine to the thrift shop. I only wear skinny jeans these days.

@DianneN I am a cowgirl so jeans are jeans. Luckily I can still wear them.

At least you wore four of them! I have a hefty gift card to use at Saks next week, but darn that Melania for staying the week. More trouble for us getting to Palm Beach thanks to the barricades! I should go to Bocca or Miami instead. Have to use it by April 1st.

when a brother gives me tee shirts, i use them for church. maybe it is my way to show appreciation. your blouse looks great. i have a white blouse looking the same as yours. the ruffles though are just one strip along the shoulders in a V-shape, and some piping at the center of the blouse.

I could use some tee shirts. Lucky you to get them from your brother. Thank you. Your blouse sounds pretty, too. I love clothes with little details. My blouse came with a black velvet ribbon that is detachable.

I have the same problem and now they aren't too stylish. Ha Ha!!! Thank you. I got the shakes when I saw that blouse and had to have it. Of course my husband was with me and approved it. Obviously, it didn't mean much, because he forgot about it.

I tend to wear things in stages. In other words, I'll have my favorites for a while, wear them over and over again, and then move on and leave them hanging in my closet for months. Then, when I go back to wear something I haven't worn for awhile, my husband always thinks it is new! LOL

Lol! My husband doesn't like me wearing the same thing twice when we go out. So I've learned to wait a month or two until he forgets that I've worn it before. All it takes to trick him is to add a scarf, use a different shade of lipstick, or wear different shoes.

Thank you! I've done a lot of shopping here thinking I'd need certain things, but I can use most of them when we return home. My husband isn't happy with the added shipping costs, especially since the stores I visit have free shipping. Oh, well.

That is a beautiful blouse and you have a wonderful husband even if he is forgetful at times. You will never believe this but I still have some clothes hanging around from my NYC days and that was some 20+ years ago. Now since I am planning on moving back to the states it is time to get rid of all I can because I know they are clothes I will never wear but I kept them for the memories. Silly me.

Thank you! My hubs is such a wonderful person to me and everyone else. I still have a few old clothes from years ago, too, but you have more to be sentimental about. Get yourself ready to start a new chapter in your life.
