The Girls in Their Summer Dresses

 


Anthropologie Charlie Jade Summer Print Drawstring Dress

If you have never read the short story The Girls in Their Summer Dresses by Irwin Shaw, it’s recommended. Classic shorts.

There’s more to this Charlie Jade Anthropologie brand print dress that indicates its quality than meets the eye. This colorful print dress is lined, provides the ability to hang easily, doesn’t neglect pockets, has some cool gathering details at the décolleté and at the back. Anthropologie does that, they’re not minimalist, and they tend to add little feminine details on their clothes. You can not like this mega brand, but mostly they don’t mimic minimalism. They are not Everlane.  That’s good.

I paid $2.00 for it, and it probably originally retailed for $75 – $100. Dresses are profitable, they can get quite elaborate. This dress flipped quickly. Someone can slip it into their luggage for summer vacation without having purchased it at the original price, with more money for their vacation.

For a half day, that’s two meals, breakfast and lunch, one juice every two hours. 1 Cold Pressed Juice Green, 90 calories 1 Cold Pressed Juice Red, 110 calories 1 Banana & Almond Butter Protein Smoothie, 320 calories – for the home stretch Add a Suja Cold-Pressed Lemon Ginger Cayenne depending on your ambition. Followed up with a lighter than usual dinner.  A...

Embracing the Gray: How One Woman Found the Perfect Balance with Gray Blending - Now on Blogger

Image
The following is a post about gray blending developed though ChatGPT. There’s a reason I used ChatGPT for this post. Aesthetically, getting older has been a challenge. Some people look great with gray hair.   I would have kept the gray but, being a brunette, it was a gray that drained my coloring. A dull, difficult-to-work-with, unruly gray. When it was clear that I was no longer able to cover my grays with single-process coloring, at around 90% gray, I finally discovered gray blending though a hair stylist. It didn’t present itself to me as a solution naturally, it took me a while to find it. It took me a while to give up single-process coloring, a solution that worked as part of my adult life for a long time. It took me a while to grow out most of the remaining color. Getting the hair stripped of all color was a marathon of sitting in a salon chair. Not really my bag. Learning through ChatGPT, it seems that the gray blending option developed as a hair coloring technique over ...
