Mary Horowitz and an Autumn Leaf! TGIFO Better Late Than Never!

Let's step back to last Friday. It's been awhile since I've posted a Thank Goodness it's Friday Outfit. TGIFO!

The paintings you see in my Great Room were painted by my Grandmother Cooper, who continued to paint until the day she passed away in 2004. Within days my Grandfather declared he could not continue without his Ena and died the next day on Veterans Day. He was a Navy Veteran. They were both in their 90's.  My Mother's house looks like a small museum filled with my Grandmothers art.

I found this colorful specimen in the carpet of leaves covering the back yard last Thursday evening.  It was the only leaf that had these brilliant Pinks.  I immediately thought of my Berry Stitched Boots. I felt a re-mix coming on.

See me wearing Anthro's Berry Stitched Boots by Lucky Penny HERE, and HERE.

Shop the Berry Stitched Boots in Pop Backs HERE.  Be patient and check back often.  These will be popping back to this page until the September Catalog is overwritten by January.

I started from the ground up on this closet re-mix.  The Mullion Tights jumped out at me as soon as I opened the drawer. The rest was a no brainer.

Shop the Melody Mini in Grey and Black on sale HERE. Not all that mini on me.  It has a wide stretch waist band. I can pull this mini down to my hips to increase the length or up to my waist if I want it shorter.

As I was driving to work this morning, I was hit by a sudden image of me in that outfit last Friday.  Remember ditsy crossword puzzle constructor Mary Horowitz (played by Sandra Bullock) in "All About Steve?"  I just recently saw the movie.

My outfit very closely resembles hers.  Right down to Mary's famous Red boots. But no possible umbrella that could be used as a weapon to possibly attack Steve. She never meant him any harm.

My boots aren't nearly as Red.

 Tripp Laptop Bag Car Print - by Orla Kiely SS10 - eBay $209 April 2010

It's possible I'm just as goofy as Mary Horowitz. But not nearly as smart.  Amazing how she figured out how to get out of that old mine shaft. One thing I have that Mary doesn't is Orla Kiely's Tripp Laptop Bag in her famous Car Print.  I often carry it as a handbag, since my Laptop rarely leaves the house.

Shop the Tripp Laptop Bag just like mine HERE, and HERE, and in Stem Print HERE.

Athleta's luxe sweaters won't stretch out of shape. Don't pill.  Are made of hand washable cotton.  And they always have a gorgeous new version in several colors every year. Heidi and I both love them.

These Anthro Glittens were a gift from Christine last year.  Anthro still had these last week in a colorful assortment.  I couldn't believe they were gone when I checked for a link this morning.  I love that I can use my iPhone and not have to pull my gloves off.

Here I am all decked out in my Mary Horowitz look alike outfit.  Off for a day at the office. BTW, the necklace is faceted Garnet with Sterling from Sundance and the Wrap Bracelet is faceted Carnelian and Leather from Etsy.
