Visible Monday - Tropical color in HOT dry Kansas

My internet has been out for a couple of days and I have been going through withdrawal. Until access is not available, you don't realize what a big part of your life it is.

Today, is once again Visible Monday organized by Patti of Not Yet Dead Style. It is a wonderful way for anyone to not feel invisible in this all too appearance critical world. 

As you will be able to see in today's outfit, I do have a bit of muffin top. My pants are not really tight, I just have a large middle and I refuse to wear "shapewear" which to me is nothing more than a girdle in more modern terms.  Whenever I wear anything that is too tight around my middle, I get nauseated. I have always had this issue, even when I was really thin.  I know some women love shapewear and I am not against it for everyone, just me.

I absolutely love my Kate Spade Ric Rack bracelets. I have them in several colors and they just work with so many outfits.  My jacket is several years old, but one of my summer favorites. I used to wear it with black pants and a black tee to tone it down when I wore it to work.

I look forward to our Accessory Swap outfit pictures tomorrow. It was organized by Pam at Over50Feeling40 and links to all participants blog's will be available on Pam's blog tomorrow.

Visible Monday - Lolla Rosa Pink

It is Visible Monday organized by http://notdeadyetstyle.blogspot.com/, the day those of us who occasionally feel invisible become visible women. This outfit makes me happy every time I wear it.  I wore it to dinner tonight at Red Lobster. You would think that a seafood restaurant would have good seafood. It wasn't good at all, except for the biscuits.  Now I remember why it had been so long since we ate there.

He was barking at us, trying to get us to play with him.
