Mature Fashion: Holiday Shopping

Seasons Greetings, Fashionistas and Stylinistas;

No way was I going out on Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, or Pre-Cyber Sunday!  I truly hope that today, Cyber Monday will be prophetic and the buyers will all be in front of their computers making their purchases.  I am going to take the gamble, collect my grand-daughter and great-grandson and purchase his first major holiday toys from his maternal great grandmother. He will be two just in time for the nice weather.  Hopefully, he will like the tricycle and GENTLY motorized  'car'., ( IF I can find one that I believe to be safe enough.)  Of course, he will get clothes, and other items to unwrap.

It is now officially winter here in the Bay Area.  We have had frost on the ground almost all week .  It is time for the warm clothing; gloves, cashmere scarves and sweaters, coats, blazers, jackets and warm shoes. I chose to wear red corduroy wide weld trousers, black silk undershirt, red cashmere funnel neck sweater, red, hunter green, and gold/black stripe and plaid blazer when my friend and I unplugged this Saturday to drive over to the beach and have lunch. I accessorized with red cashmere scarf, brocade red/gold clogs, a golden brown Brahman handbag, black quilted leather gloves, hunter green velvet fur trimmed cap, and a heavy gold rope chain with gold cameo pendant and small thick gold hoop earrings.

The weather was crisp and cold, but sunny.  It was a beautiful and stress free day, although we did have quite a bit of traffic on both the roads and on the restaurant wait list. (Phils @ Moss Landing; if you haven't tried it, please do.  You will not regret it.).

In this holiday season, one of the largest obstacles to overcome is stress and frustration.  It is more important than ever that we coddle both our mind and body while getting as much relaxation and rest as necessary.  We all know that things will go better if we can make time to have a quiet cup of tea, listen to relaxing music, unplug as much as possible.  Although we all know these things, we usually have to work to make it happen in this oh so very busy time of year.  Check "Rockmyfitness.blogspot.com" for more stress relieving tips"

Don't forget, we also will feel our best if we know we look our best in this very social season.

Happy Styling.......Geneva .....Rockmyages@aol.com..............................
