I love the 20s inspired hat with the 20s inspired skirt. Perfect.<br />And belts are an hourglass-shaped-lady's best friend. I have a bunch in a rainbow of colors and sizes.Jessicanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493987722691542290.post-15250456378983632052012-03-03T22:50:26.683-05:002012-03-03T22:50:26.683-05:00I love this great outfit.

I love the way it makes me feel (put together) and look (my waist is the best part of me). xoxoSherrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493987722691542290.post-55012460361582775242012-03-03T17:23:38.419-05:002012-03-03T17:23:38.419-05:00If you were curious, generally, Netflix does not d...If you were curious, generally, Netflix does not decide which movies it wants to carry for instant download/streaming... they make deals with the studios, who would greatly prefer that you purchase their new release movies rather than streaming them. That's why you rarely see super new releases on Netflix - studios will instead sell them older movies, little-know indie titles, or TV shows that you're not likely to actually purchase on DVD or Bluray. Netflix had a deal with Starz for a while - definitely a mistake on Starz's part - which put some newer movies on Netflix, but that deal ended this Wednesday.<br /><br />I had both HBO and Cinemax for a while and found that I was really only watching the On Demand movies, but Cinemax has a much larger library than HBO. HBO On Demand never had anything I wanted to watch, so we cancelled it!JanAlyssanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493987722691542290.post-58847127714219472592012-03-03T10:05:58.239-05:002012-03-03T10:05:58.239-05:00Does your library have a movie section?

Too funny about the fake shutters, we have them too! But our windows aren't super wide so I guess it doesn't look too bad. Shakespeare in Love, I know I saw that movie listed on one of the move channels not long ago...Godivanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493987722691542290.post-22906437373941038302012-03-02T14:36:30.924-05:002012-03-02T14:36:30.924-05:00All the pieces of this outfit go together so well....All the pieces of this outfit go together so well. I am a huge fan of the cloche! It's one of the few hats that looks good on me and I love it here. I think belts are a great accessory - they can really tie a whole outfit together and add some interest or a pop of color, or just make it look complete. I have a bunch of belts and I put them to good use! This outfit is great. <br /><br />I'm a huge National fan too. I've seen them live a few times. My husband took me to a show for our anniversary a couple of years ago. Slow Show is one of my favorites too :)pjshoegalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493987722691542290.post-73545103280520218802012-03-02T13:08:39.714-05:002012-03-02T13:08:39.714-05:00Great, great outfit!

Well, it's probably a combination of great locations and a great photographer's discerning eye. :-) I love how all your pictures are in different places! Sheesh! Sort of makes me want to move to your small town. I feel like LA is just all concrete and asphalt sometimes.

He HATES when I wear one on an outfit that does not have belt loops. Unfortunately, the shape of my waist doesn't really allow me to wear one very well, but every now and then I'll attempt it. When I do and I ask what my husband thinks of the outfit, I always have to preface it with, "I know you already hate the belt BUT..." Ha! <br /><br />I hope you find Shakespeare in Love for Jerry to watch! It's is a FANTASTIC movie. I wish I could show it to my classes when we read certain plays (I'm finishing up Macbeth right now) because it's such a great insight into Shakespeare's life. That ONE scene ruins it for me though--my school would never approve it for me to show! <br /><br />Have a great weekend :)AppGalhttp://musingsonmtn.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493987722691542290.post-28647026588366883382012-03-02T10:41:51.532-05:002012-03-02T10:41:51.532-05:00hahaha - see, I don't even know HOW to say ...hahaha - see, I don't even know HOW to say 'cloche'.

Matt Berninger has such a weird stage presence. He paces back and forth a lot. It works for him, though. Slow Show is great. I also love Apartment Story. Hell, that whole album is great!
