<span style="font-size: large;"><em><strong><span style="color: magenta;">During the 30+</span></strong></em> years I've lived here, I don't recall it ever getting close to the 90s in May, let alone 104!

<span style="font-size: large;">But I decided it wasn't fair to end on such a bleak note.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Though I haven't researched more thoroughly yet, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">my initial poking around brought me to <a href="http://www.edf.org/" target="_blank">Environmental Defense Fund</a>. Have you heard of the organization? What do you think?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I think the antique floral print is rich and splendid. The fabric, 76% silk and 33% cotton, is quite substantial. It feels like two layers woven together. Could very well be since the reverse side barely shows any print show-through and has a different texture. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A pair of mine are missing.

<span style="font-size: large;">I was blog surfing and somehow came upon this. I don't know who these ladies are but unlike Kate below who was having a rather pretty time fighting the elements, the one in the pale c<span dir="auto">afé au lait dress was captured in an unfortunate moment against the wind.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Kate was attending a forum where experts addressed cyber bullying; self-harm; special education needs;
raising aspirations, access and achievements; and preventing addiction to build emotional resilience and strength. While the attention is likely on her Marilyn moment, perhaps some greater awareness will come of the worthy discussion to nurture good mental health in children.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><em><strong><span style="color: magenta;">This might </span></strong></em>be a meander. There are 3 things to talk about with this post but I have no clever ways to sew them together.</span></div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. A little giveaway to say thank you</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Second prize is a bottle of <a href="http://botanicalinsights.com/lavender.htm" target="_blank">lavender hydrosol</a>, one of my most favorite things.

<span style="font-size: large;"><em><strong><span style="color: magenta;">I won't say</span></strong></em> why or how, except <em>I didn't cause it</em>, but </span><span style="font-size: large;">this icon trench was filthy. At first, I thought I'd relegate it </span><span style="font-size: large;">for dire circumstances ... like if I knew I had to be packed onto a bus with a football team </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">that for some reason </span><span style="font-size: large;">could not shower after a sweaty game. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But the coat was grungy enough I doubt I'd wear it even then.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh, I thought about taking it to the cleaners. </span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But I don't love the idea of spending a zillion dollars on something that may not come clean and I don't love the idea of dry cleaning chemicals. And since the football team scenario was unlikely, made one of those "what do I have to lose" decisions and threw it in the wash. Delicate cycle, cold water. Tumble dry low.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Surprise, suprise. It came out just fine.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And while it's not as crisp as before and should be lightly pressed, </span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I now happily wear it for the best situations. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">And was not disappointed in any way. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The evening far exceeded every expectation.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Many have wondered, some have asked and I said I'd try it so </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I washed the minnie pant in bi-stretch wool.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Same way: delicate cycle, cold water, tumble dry low.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I measured before and after, the width shrunk by about 3/16". </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Like jeans after they're washed and dried, they felt tightened up. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Still quite wearable but more legging-like.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The bigger difference was the length, they're shorter by about 1/2".</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you study the above carefully, you'll notice the more snug and bunched up washed minnie pant on the right. Slightly shorter. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For reference, I'm 5'2"-ish and wearing the regular length size 00.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Not sure if I prefer them before or after the wash and dry but I sure wish there was a way to shrink the waistband by about 2".</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then they'd be perfect. Like my recent evening out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Or these all-leather lace-ups for $59?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Like my friend, <a href="http://bluebooby101.blogspot.com/2013/09/reviews-j-crew-and-some-shoes-and-love.html" target="_blank">Blue Booby</a>, you could hop over to <a href="http://www.yoox.com/us/women#/dept=shoeswomen&gender=D&season=E" target="_blank">yoox.com</a> and go crazy ... they have 132 pages of shoes, showing 120 pairs each page, ranging from $18 to $2,795. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I kidded BB about being her personal shopper but note the Yoox friend-referral program ... for example, if you send your email address to me at <a href="mailto:tiffanyrose57@gmail.com">tiffanyrose57@gmail.com</a> and you (if first-time shopper) bought something within 60 days, accessing through the email link sent to you, I get $35 credit in my account. Isn't that great incentive?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But that is <em>not</em> why I'm telling you this ... I LOVE that site for pretty or funky or fun or needed shoes that are quite affordable, especially when they have the big sale like they do now on Spring-Summer shoes. And! Until Sept. 10, you get another 10% off of sale prices like those above by using <strong>YOOXSALE10</strong> in the YOOXCODE box when you check out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Yoox delivers to more than 100 countries around the world, free shipping on orders of $150+. Most of the brands are unfamiliar to me but then, I'm not really up on <strike>brands </strike>designers. I've loved everything I've taken a chance on, including discovering how wonderful Daniele Ancarani <span style="font-size: small;">(and a few others')</span> shoes are for my wide feet.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: magenta;"><strong><em>With my love</em></strong></span> for chambray shirts and sparkly things, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">you know I had to have this -- the <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/denim/moredenimfavorites/PRDOVR~02967/02967.jsp" target="_blank">boy shirt in beaded chambray</a>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Good thing I got it during a recent promo since the 00 is now sold out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> IRL, the shirt is a greyer blue than what's showing on my monitor.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's nicely faded, thank goodness <em>without</em> the drastic contrast between light and dark I dislike. 100% cotton. Very soft. No pockets. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvgtQfQYnKZxM4UUe4P37Bqlktm0_xgw9i9gDRldHJL-OMe3I9Xge_yALPSxskNyVMcTQdYlAPrtLq9ErXS7yRVENb50WLkqZlzXQUNlpKQshqbsesvUNSJUMOdHWzUOMg4Nn-SGCJwnA/s1600/IMGP7022.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvgtQfQYnKZxM4UUe4P37Bqlktm0_xgw9i9gDRldHJL-OMe3I9Xge_yALPSxskNyVMcTQdYlAPrtLq9ErXS7yRVENb50WLkqZlzXQUNlpKQshqbsesvUNSJUMOdHWzUOMg4Nn-SGCJwnA/s320/IMGP7022.JPG" width="98" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The shirt would not be particularly remarkable without the bling.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The "hand-applied clusters" are sewn-on rhinestones, see a close-up.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Some have noticed each cluster looks like an angel</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">or guardian angel jewelry. What do you think?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I think it's a very good thing to have 20 angels providing protection.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I need all the help I can get.</span></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And it's a really, really good thing I did not buy this shirt from a store. Because I would have compared every shirt in my size looking for perfect angels to drive myself insane. </span><span style="font-size: small;">(Do not go shopping with me for a stuffed animal if there are 78 of the same teddy bear available.) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Most of the clusters are a bit askew like this.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With a single shirt in hand, </span><span style="font-size: large;">I decided they were OK slightly flawed. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dare I say I love the top? </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm thinking the details are reminiscent of JC's glory days.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's a close-up of the fabric. I put bright yellow behind it so you can see the parts that are cut out, one could try <span style="font-size: large;">interesting things </span></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">layering it over colors. </span>Starting as 100% white cotton, </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">the top is printed, it's textured and pierced, and finished with </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">scalloped neckline and sleeve edges. The only bothersome thing to note was some discomfort with the material, some call it itchy and I say it's irritating. Not nearly as bad as the <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/browse/single_product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT<>prd_id=845524441827650&FOLDER<>folder_id=2534374302045901&srcCode=AFFI00001&siteId=QFGLnEolOWg-1fXDiZN0W3M5NPiC6lDNhQ" target="_blank">lustre lace mockneck tee</a> (that one I could not take off fast enough) but still a little bit abrasive.</span></div>
