HERE'S WHAT "WE" WORE

It's definitely been a busy week for me! My friend Joy has been visiting with us all week. Joy lives in Savannah, Georgia and I promise you, the girl loves to shop more than me! Joy and I were once roommates waaaay back when we were both young girls in Augusta, Georgia, where we rented a big two-story home on Central Avenue. Then we both worked on cruise ships together for many years. Joy was a Bridesmaid at my wedding and has been a "true friend" all these years. Here she is dressed very casual, in J. Crew...
Being such a proper Southern friend, she arrived at my doorstep with a gift for moi! A Paula Deen Market tote...

She is lucky enough to be able to eat at Miss Paula's restaurant in Savannah all the time and was sweet enough to give me this cookbook, which features all the recipes prepared for the diners at her restaurant.

Here's Miss Joy's Halloween costume...Miss Fairy Girl!

Good Lord, here's husband Ken, dressed for Halloween as "Beaker!" How ridiculous does he look! He loves to dress up for Halloween...I'm not even sure who this "Beaker" character is...Lord have mercy.
Of course, we had to head to the Lilly Store at the Garden's Mall...my absolute fav store! I was so excited to show Miss Joy the dressing rooms. Here's What I Wore that day... The dress is the "Stephanie Engineered Raindrop Blue Shift" by Lilly, underneath I wore an ivory cotton turtleneck by Ralph Lauren. My ponytail was adorned with a navy grosgrain ribbon bow. I wore my "memory beads" necklace from the 70's, my Cartier roll ring wedding band, and my Rolex Chamaleon watch which has a coordinating green watchband. My navy pocketbook is by...Ferragamo.

I wore these darling "Trunk Up" ballet flats by Lilly, along with ivory stockings...

Here's Miss Joy posing in a beautiful pink casual outfit, with a brown tank top, and brown sandals...tres chic!

Okay, I just had to try on this new shift at the Lilly store...the "Worth Shift--Not So Crabby" pattern. I imagine we are all going to see ourselves coming and going in this one...it is sooooooo cute and so very Miss Janice!

Miss Janice, shopping at the Chanel counter at Sak's...I'm wearing an orange cotton turtleneck and a black Michael Simon cotton Halloween cardigan, a very inexpensive khaki skirt from Target, black Chanel loafers, pumpkin earrings, black and white gingham ribbon hair bow, and carrying my black Chanel 2.55 pocketbook. I'm writing a check from my Louis Vuitton checkbook case...

This afternoon, I drug Miss Joy out to my home-away-from-home--Panera Bread. After lunch, we headed out to see the new Michael Jackson movie, "This Is It!" It was great y'all...he sure didn't look sick, or like he couldn't handle himself...he definitely came across as a remarkable performer. I'm very glad that I went to see it.

Here's what Miss Joy wore...J. Crew--head-to-toe!

Well, it's been a fun week. Now we're sitting down to rest...having a pimento cheese sandwich and some sweet tea, and enjoying Sunday night MUST SEE TV...Desperate Housewives, Brothers and Sisters, and Dexter. Good times, y'all!
