Oh my, if you have not seen Seychelles shoes. Just give a little search on Google. They make beautiful shoes. And I spotted a pair, looking as pretty as you please, looking nearly new, looking like my size. They were my size. Like a glove.
Just 3 bucks and some change. The kind of deal that makes your heart sing.
I love the leather, the detailing, and they fit and wear like a dream!
I wore these last night, paired with a Rafaella pleated skirt, recently thrifted for just under 4 dollars and a Ralph Lauren sweater — same price.
If you have a store called Five and Below in your area, it is worth checking out. Admittedly, it could be on the list of places that has a lot of stuff imported, and I know people are trying to get away from that. Honestly, I have not taken the time to see just how much of their merchandise is made in the USA versus elsewhere, but they do have some amazing deals sometimes. The scarf is from there, going on two years of wear, for 5 dollars. I have really enjoyed the Victorian look of it and the rich colors in it.
Hair has texturizer in the front to keep it off my face a bit and is parted haphazardly, which I really like.
The black pleated skirt is Rafaella, machine wash, knee length.
Fun, fun.
Now — which is a word I say a lot, apparently, about that hair tutorial video! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for all of your kind and encouraging comments! You truly made my day yesterday! I checked in yesterday afternoon and then last evening and night, and I was so happy to see that you approve. I want to answer each of your comments personally, but for now I will say it here: THANKS SO MUCH! And I will do more of them. I already have something in mind that will be fun, and maybe SHOCKING. 
(Just a little.)
For now, I must get busy and work.
Enjoy this day!

Hello Lynn!
I have found your blog through Marqueta’s, and I’m so pleased!
It’s so very amusing and FUN! What a lively place to visit.
I love the shoes, will have to see if these are available in the UK.
They make me think of summer..roll on THAT lovely time..we have snow and ice here in England at the mo’; furry boots are more the footwear of choice right now!
I have just started blogging and will aspire to be as entertaining as you are, dear Lynn! I’ll be back.

Hey Alex! Thank you so much for leaving a comment and thanks for your kind words! I enjoyed visiting your blog too!! What a great start you have. Very cozy. England is a place I have always wanted to see. So much rich literature from your country! And the pictures of the countryside. Beautiful.
Lynn
Good morning Lynn – hard at work – of course! I love your sweet look in these photos. What a find in those shoes! Maybe someday I will once again have fashion sense, but for now, I enjoy yours! A beautiful snowy cold day here – Love Terry
Good Morning, Terry! Thanks so much! I appreciate your comment! I wondered how you all were faring up that way. It is COLD here today, so I am sure you all are blustery cold up there! Wish I could see a pretty snow up there. Love, Lynn
