What to Wear | November
What to Wear | November
What to Wear will feature different palettes providing ideas when you plan the wardrobe for individual pictures or your family images during the holiday gatherings.
What to Wear | November features ideas for all family members: mom; dad; big brother; big sister and little brother and little sister. Have fun preparing your stylish look for family pictures!
It is not necessary to purchase new clothing for better images. When planning the wardrobe, do wash and dry the clothing. Immediately after drying, hang the clothes on a hanger. Or iron, if you like. The main goal is wrinkle free clothing.
Shoes do not need to be new either. New shoe laces is an inexpensive purchase to spruce up the look. Polishing leather or washing canvas shoes is another solution to brighten their appearance.
Have the socks match either the pants or shoes. This is important for anyone who may be sitting or squatting in the group. Imagine if the pants are navy blue, shoes white and you see bright green socks. Very distracting. Your eyes will go straight to the green socks and not the person’s face! However, if the socks were either white (matching shoes) or navy blue (matching pants), your eyes will flow over the person and land on the face/eyes of the person in the picture.
Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Hi there! It’s funny how I can go from frozen favs to hot favs. Today I am grateful for my little Mr. Coffee and hot chocolate! I don’t do coffee but use my pot for hot chocolate, hot cider and hot tea on cold days.
Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Hi, today I am grateful for humor. Humor can certainly lighten the mood! A friend sends daily emails with inspiration. And today she sent the following image.

I had just gone over to my thermostat and considered adjusting it! Then I got this email 🙂 We keep our thermostat around 62 – 64. Normally Kevin will light the wood stove to supplement the furnace heat. Today I pulled out the sweatshirt, and layered with a t-shirt, sweatpants, socks and slippers. I kept comfortable. Getting a tease of colder weather and not liking it.
WW Update:
Since Start Date; -25.6lbs

Hi, today I am grateful for lazy day. Sitting in a warm house, eating hot gumbo and watching the Chiefs play football. I stayed in my P.J’s all day. Did get the bed sheets washed and put back onto the bed. Washed a load of towels and that is just about it. Felt good today!
Take Care. Best wishes, Debra

Hi, today I am grateful for getting new tires on my car. This ties into my grateful for work I posted yesterday. I’ve known for a while that my tires were needing replaced. Just spending so much money is hard to part with. Today I bit the bullet.
Kevin wanted me to get Michelin. I had gone to my local Big O Tires. The Michelin tires I had on the car, Big O’s did not have 4 in stock. It would have been next week and I wanted to get tires today. I ended up going with the Big O Tire brand. These are 75,000 mile tires. Michelin would have been 80,000.
While waiting, I met a real nice lady. She was very patient with me while I told her about my Weight Watcher journey. I just came from my weekly meeting and I can officially say I have lost 25 lbs since my start date! Our visit was very pleasurable. I have gained a new friend. The Good Lord does work in mysterious ways. We knew many of the same people even though this was our first meeting.
WW Update:
Since Start Date; -25.6lbs
