Visible Monday Brights

I just got a new computer and boy do I feel like I have entered a new dimension. Going from Windows Vista to Windows 7 is like going to a whole new world. I love and hate getting a new computer. It takes so long to figure out where all the controls are and get everything set up in a format that you can use.  I had to get a new computer because my old one is making funny noises which generally means a crash is eminent. I don't have everything transferred yet. That is a whole other issue involving a new cable (I think.)

Jacket: Chadwick's purchased at 1/2 of 1/2 store
Maxi dress: Casual Living purchased at 1/2 of 1/2 store
Sandals: Think! Julia

I know a while back someone wrote a post about what makes you feel old and I think some said that maxi dresses made them feel old. For me, it makes me feel great and very visible. A great thing for Visible Monday.

I realized that I rather like wearing a maxi dress and like it far more than a knee length dress. I'm not sure why, I just know I feel comfortable in a long dress. Both the jacket and dress were purchased new with tags at the 1/2 of 1/2 Name Brand store. I discovered that the Casual Living company had been purchased by Chadwick's who in turn recently filed bankruptcy. My guess is that all the clothing from Casual Living was being closed out as the store doesn't seem to exist now. It is sad to me that so many well-known companies are having to file bankruptcy and close.



I don't have any photos of my accessories today because the memory card was full and my dear husband wanted to get to sleep. I wore coin jewelry with Elizabeth II on it to honor QE on her diamond jubilee. I'll try to post a separate photo of the necklace and bracelets later this week. 


For you plus-size ladies, I hope to have some pictures of some new things I got from K-Mart. Yes, K-Mart, I found it hard to believe too, but I found some tops on sale that are actually stylish. 



I hope you have all had a wonderful Monday. I am linking up with Visible Monday and also Monday Mingle. I certainly enjoy seeing everyone's outfits. It is kind of like my own special fashion magazine issue every Monday.
