Her white dress in this movie (Under the Tuscan Sun) looks awesome too, it’s simple but elegant.
I love it

It does.
We can see it’s very well made.
Thank you…:)
You’re welcome, Murn; I dare to submit another controversial fashion statement for your consideration … );-P

She is stunning.
And she is kind. I’d always like her.

My favorite, only mine is knee length.
There’s a hundred ways to wear this dress.
Very versatile.😊
https://media2.giphy.com/media/pYcOanL5eUuQM/giphy.gif
I like it.
It must look good on you.
Mine would be with a little higher neck.
That’s the thing with this style. You can choose where to rest the neck.
Yes, its kind of flexible.
I like it…:))
I wear mine with a Jacket sometimes. Sometimes with
a skirt, bottom hemline is adjustable as well, and/or jeans, and/or a jacket.
Sometimes with a baggy pullover shirt.
With a scarf, around the neck or waist…and so many other choices.
That sounds very stylist.

Morning Murn! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/399a543bd01aca887ba4be5dc21a73ac079140975c84a2db740f5b41646f3035.gif
Morning, Ribbey.
How does your site work with the Disqus glitch since yesterday?
Did you post your daily Road Show? I was trying to look it up.
Yes we are attached to disqus.
Actually posting op’s hasn’t been a problem.I
But all the invites, recommends, and posting comment abilities are wacky and random at best.
The on!y way I’ve been able to navigate is via the profiles, and then clicking on the headers for that comment.
I couldn’t reply from notification.
I just did that, went to your profile and found the header of your thread.
Awesome.
That been working for me.
But still not taking us directly to the comment, gotta scroll to find it.
grrrrrrr😊 https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e807a4bce31a23eae148ab66c3801ef030534fb38c610756e6e7a4e8c9c16569.gif
I know your taste now.
Wonderful….I love it too.
I think it’s elegant.
Too simple for a Princess but looks beautiful.

i remember more the white dress of her sister.^^

She padded her bum for the wedding!
yep. padding shoulders is so 80th.^^
That dress looks like a mermaid shape from the back. I like it better to look at it from the front. It’s very beautiful dress:

Hi Murn (and everyone reading this)! You have great taste, and got me thinking. For special occasions (aka “in my dreams”- haha), I’ve gotta go with vintage Dior. IIRC, you like Audrey Hepburn too. I also like that I’d be less likely to trip over myself in this one. 😉
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c44f27d8be0c3afd508cf3ce19be863f1a5a01b82ebadf4f810e5d964a7b13aa.jpg
More vintage Dior:

Congratulations on your new site Murn! I don’t have time for online stuff lately, but after seeing your posts, had to jump in. Thanks for providing such a pleasant respite from the typical noise of the net. 🙂
Hey there….
I have only been seeing your upvote, I am glad to have your posts on here.
Thank you for joining.
Special occasion can be anytime tho, doesn’t have to be in dreams….=D
I like the first last picture you have, it looks light and I like dresses with lighter fabric.
This Audrey iconic dress has been very inspiring for the world famous designers. People have been trying to make them thought I don’t think anyone could make it exactly the same as the original dress.
Let’s look at how beautiful that is..
Thanks again, I hope you don’t mind that we include you on our future tagging as this is the only way to send the invites.
And you need to know that I am very happy to have you on our site, please feel to come again when you find an interesting topic for you to join.
Have a lovely weekend.

I almost posted this one; couldn’t choose between the color detail and the dogs, or the black and white. Tossed a coin. 🙂
Thanks Murn! Of course I don’t mind. Sometimes I don’t check in very often, but I will try to stop by more often. I appreciate your kindness and hospitality very much.
You too- hope your week is lovely over in Bali! By the way, I love the pictures you post. Bali is a dream, as is little Tommy- I’m so glad he found his way home [you and he were in my prayers while he was missing…I was so sad and worried for you/him. Yay! Miracle! He is just as darling as I’d imagined :)]
All my best, k 🙂
A very iconic picture…:))
Thank you so much again and thank you for your generosity on giving the upvotes.
I appreciate that very much.
Yes,Tommy has been my wonderfully loving companion. Thank you for all the prayers and I believe that what made him found his way home too.
All my best to you too.
Talk to you soon..:))

^^^THIS!^^^ I was going to post this one, but you beat me to it! Great minds think alike. 😉 I looove it.
I also like shorter, more casual ones for summer. Tan legs required:

True, great minds think alike….:)) I really like that style.
Those are chic casual. I like the last one of your pics. It looks like a bit pink, but I love that kind of simple outfit for casual: to play, to do shopping, to gather with friends…heheh.
How simple this is too.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1e9a2f893513e61d67ff703aa38907af14cc0027505191bfec97d6f0b280c0bd.jpg
Yeah, I couldn’t quite tell from the picture, if it was technically white. 🙂 But I’ve always liked that style for just as you said, shopping/hanging out. I prefer simple designs. Your pic looks just like another one I saved:
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d9d31fd6b392b6fc66cf21182f6b35067c5d5c88495de6b4312f6ffe99290723.jpg
I love the pictures you and George posted- the classic, professional dresses/blazer for work. When I lived in hotter climates, my favorite outfits looked like those. Here, it rains A LOT. Oh well. 🙂
I like this more bohemian look too, with light, cool fabric…but alas, here there’s not much opportunity to wear this either. 🙂
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/52ea88fbdf5bb5d33b138da987282262391cbf8e6fd562a61c90f927eaef846d.jpg
Thanks for chatting with me Murn! Give Tommy some snuggles for me, okay? 🙂
It could be the lighting that made it look a bit pink, but most importantly we love that style.
Yes, those pics we both posted were mostly my outfits to go work, plus I love this simple with camel color hand bag. Look classic and eternal.
That makes me wondering of where you are…:))
That bohemian style looks beautiful. I love the embroidery vertical lines that make us looks tall.
Thanks for sharing the beautiful dresses and to make this thread busier….and I’ll look forward to be chatting with you again.
Tommy loves the snuggles. Big hugs from him and his Mom =D.
Pacific Northwest/US. Maybe that’s why your post got me thinking- I have only been here a few years, but had forgotten how much my wardrobe has changed. Neither white nor elegant mix well with mud and soaking wet rain.
So…instead of being able to wear something even remotely elegant…even a teeny tiny bit white and/or elegant, ie.:
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/421d0f79c669f49c73f897aa91ae82a028c6a9960c7a3cf0a1a2b7ce6dc89a8f.jpg
…you look out the window and see this almost daily, most of the year:
https://media.giphy.com/media/MCERNNnSJXFAI/giphy.gif
…and so put on something that allows for Wellies (rain boots). This ends up being about the most white and/or elegance one can muster here (Ha!):
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/13c1a83e115a6e5c0ff1c8c382b61793ac4fff34a2e893dc433588c3fb44769d.jpg
“When in Rome…” It is kinda nice, that everyone here is so casual. Looking around, you’d almost think black leggings/yoga pants and Wellies are the state-mandated dress code.
How about Bali? I lived in Hawaii for years, and imagine the climate is similar to Bali. For me, during that time, I didn’t wear the suits so much as the shorter white dresses/skirts. Between the trade winds/salt/sun/humidity…casual was better. Are the suits hot? Is the wind a big deal there? I had to be careful, haha…those short dresses blow up easily. Better to stick to more fitted things, ie (along the lines of what Ms. Ribbey described):
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/367c7d0024e8f71345bea6ecacb3faf6b94c6459ad99a065b1179c84a2851048.jpg
Thanks again for your time Murn…this was fun to think and chat about! 🙂
I am glad to see you back.
I didn’t come here for two days, sorry for taking so long to respond.
Good to know.
Yes, Bali is pretty much the same as Hawaii. It hasn’t been too hot lately.
Temperature is between 28-30 or sometime 32C, humid and a little dry too sometime, it doesn’t make me complaint tho…:))
I love that one with blue handbag. it looks comfy and easy. It’s my style too except the long Cardigan as I mostly like the short cardigan…:))
For two pieces outfit for office hours, this is very close to my style, short dress with blazer or sometime just short dress. or just skirt and top with matching bag and shoes.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d3213219381d538790a884f5178b88093b5ca4b3e17813c0680bb634b8b19639.jpg

I wonder how would you do the outdoor activities if that is all the weather you have.
I imagine rain boots, rain coat or umbrells..:))
I like your choice on the casual outfit on the mud, in Rome….love it :)).
Blue jean and white top would always be my favorite for casual two pieces out fit.
Like this one. I like that leather bag and shoes or I sometime combine blue jean and white top with red shoes and red bag.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/04f30e56ccb32b811f4410469477eeaee4ab656c434f413f7aa076b8c5f83dd9.jpg
For work hours, I mostly wear short dress with blazer or skirt with matching top. Like those first two pictures. And something like this work well here too.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3ce9a2da6491f1e1b68d2e86dc13e1d20971249cd3907f1d2b4afd0278a8dd19.jpg
Well, I thank you so much for sharing your styles in white outfits with us here, those are quite stylist and inspiring…Love them all. Talk to you soon….:))
Two enthusiastic thumbs up! I like your style. Very classy. Clean. Professional elegance. I imagine you look quite striking, with your hair and skin tone, in those suits. I bet heads turn. 🙂
Agree totally re: jeans outfit. Love those shoes/bag. And yes- red! I have those shoes in both colors- I love (and need, haha) the ankle strap. I l-o-v-e strappy ankle shoes. My red pair has a long ribbon for the strap, that you wrap several times around the ankle and tie in a bow. Happy shoes. I always feel prettier wearing them. 🙂
Nothing more American than the perfect little white tee and jeans. That’s my fav. I’m always on the lookout for the perfect top, like your pick, that is a little more feminine and unique…than a classic tee. Always in style though:
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e9bcc8bda1c79929ba2c56e6f23726ddbdccdf0ad015be0293a92a66d8d8c5fd.jpg
I really appreciate the time you’ve given me. I’m very interested in your pov and insight. Our convo has had me thinking about many things- and I’ve been talking up Bali/Indonesia lately. Who knows- maybe tourism will increase! 🙂
It’s interesting, the wet/dry seasons. I didn’t realize how much it rains there during your wet season- wow! Do people use umbrellas much there? Here, very few do. Despite the rain, the weather is pretty mild here…and the terrain is beautiful…waterfalls, lakes, the Pacific ocean…amazing gardens.
Don’t worry about answering me…I know you’re busy. I do look forward to learning more about you [and your country 🙂 ]…and now, so do my friends and family here. I hope all is well with you and yours. Thanks again, Murn. 🙂
Thank you but your styles too are gorgeous, I like most of them so much.
Your red shoes with long ribbon sounds sexy to me. I imagine something like this. It must look pretty on you feet with your skin tone too…=D
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c3215a70f056305c06e3c18611ee3909e401e1c41dc98d5727e609c7e6246711.jpg
We love simple white tee and jean here too, more casual to play with cat…*Laughing.
Talking about Bali and maybe have it on your plan holiday trip, who knows, that’ll be amazing. I hope it will happen and please do let me know when it does happen…*Smile.
You’ve been very supportive to us to this site.
I thank you so much for everything.
Don’t get bored to join the chat here again when you find topic you like.
Thanks and great to hear that you and your family are well. I am fine in this other side of the globe…:))
Those are spicy!
Like this, with a bit wider ribbon:

Yes- jeans are much easier, with lots of fur and slobber! Haha. 🙂
Hey,
Good evening to you….*Smile
Loovvvvee that so much.
I found this is closer to my style except the tight jean.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b1b639301feb3b22e64e3f3979c697ce1634ce25aeb453d951dc426b21bbc03f.jpg
Bin-GO! I’m right there with ya, top to bottom…though I do wear more boots here (except in summer). Blazer, check! Bag, check (my all-time fav style; it doesn’t feel right, without one on my forearm).
Yeah, I’m with you on the jeans too…
Your hair sounds perfect. Very cool…and well-suited to your style. You have my official seal of approval (HA!) 🙂
First, I am glad to see you have no downvotes, I hope it will continue that way, All we see is upvotes….:))
Thanks for giving me the official seal of approval…..*Laughing
My hair now exactly looks like that and that short too.
lamstilllearning, you have been missed! I hope that all is well and you are merely busy. James has returned from another voyage, but this go around he experienced stormy weather.
Unfortunately, many of the sites that you post on have banned me, so I cannot upvote you, but am reading your posts anyway.
Not completely white, but qualifies as evening white.

White but…not elegant…but almost elegant would you say? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9a969bbcdddf27652fbdf63a3cacd761984d0ea174391b772b34b19240394813.jpg
Two perfectly elegant white dresses.

A touch of pink but still considered white.

Those are beautiful,
Thank you for sharing and welcome to our site.
Murn, I am happy you enjoyed them! It was fun. 🙂

You do have a classy taste, Lady.
I love all the pictures of dresses you share on this thread.
Thank you again…:)

Hey lady! Thank you, thank you. I hope James comes back too; the online world needs more voices like his. Sigh.
Very pretty. Very feminine, and yes, elegant. I really enjoy seeing these little glimpses into the preferences/taste of others. It helps give depth/context to the anonymous avatars we lurk behind. Individuality is a good thing, yes? 🙂
Really good to hear from you again. You and your momma [and Lainey…and James…;)] are still at the top of my prayer list, just fyi. I do so hope life has been kind to you in my absence. 🙂
James is safely home from his recent voyage, although the ship went through some very strong storms. We landlubbers are clueless concerning the water rats terminology. Let me try and explain.
There are these rather thick ropes that I believe are used to tighten or loosen the corners of the sails. However, the ropes are not called ropes, but sheets. Isn’t that the strangest lingo?! I would think the sails would be called sheets! But what do us land rats know? 😉
So during the storm, the long and heavy sheets were being whipped around by the strong winds and hit James several times so that he ended up with a hemotoma below his knee. Naturally he was busy steering the ship so he was at the mercy of the wind and waves. James has many bruises on his arms and legs and practically lost an eye! Oh, I hope it is ok for me to tell you this. It was a tough week.
And the crew stayed in safety rather than seeing to the needs of the ship and its Captain. They should all be flogged for letting those sheets slap our dear James around! Or else they should be put through a keelhauling, that would teach them to take care of those ropes, I mean sheets.
Thank you very much for thinking about my mother. The good news is that the chemo drops are finally doing the job and her cells are looking healthier. The doctor is very pleased, especially since mother has been quite uncooperative. At one point she refused to take the drops and it was not until I told her that she will lose her eyeball if the cancer is not stopped. And that it will spread to her brain…I based that on nothing I know but it scared her big time!
Mercilessly, I told her a few stories that I have heard, one from Merlin, who had a friend that died from that cancer. Some doctors I know have all asked me the same question after telling them about mother’s cancer: “Did she lose her eye?”
During the week, I have been going out to the farm and doing whatever work she needs done. My diagnosis is that she is feeling vulnerable and lonely and needs my companionship. My sisters work and are unable to help in that regard. While there, I will be working and she will come and say, “Let’s take a break.” So we find a place to chat. She does this about every 40 minutes, so it takes time to get the work done!
This thread was enjoyable! Shopping online is fun; searching for the perfect dress. And a nice change of pace from world politic. And I needed it because the downvoting has become a…discouragement. Which, no doubt, is their goal.
I have quite an assortment of hats, lovely hats, fancy hate, causal hats, big straw hats, you name it. So wearing a white dress with a hat appeals to me. There is a man at church and one Sunday morning when we were greeting each other, he bowed and said, “You are a queen! Your hats are queenly.” I laughed and enjoyed his reaction to my hats.
Here are 4 more beautiful dresses. Enjoy. 🙂

Wow. Good thing I’d kept y’all at the top of my list. James! Well doesn’t that sound just like Cap’n J: calmly continuing to steer the ship while the chickens cower in safety. Aiyiyi. Please give him my best regards.
So you’re a hat gal. My head is too big, LOL! All that grey matter, don’tcha know. Haha. And wouldn’tcha know it, I need ’em ever since that dreaded c word struck. “Better a bald head than no head at all” is my motto.
If you ever need a gut-buster of a laugh, come shopping with me (for any kind of head gear). I’ll have you crying laughing your elegant tush off, and that’s a money-back guarantee. Most hats sit atop my gigantic squash, and it is a hilarious sight to behold. I used to think it was my long wavy crown of glory that was too poofy, but nope- it’s my skull. I never understand why someone hasn’t come out with a line of “plus-sized” lid covers- they have ’em for wide feet, big boys and girls, etc…but bowling ball heads are forgotten. Sigh.
Yep, this was a fun break from the stormy seas. This is the only other picture I saved from my original search:
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/dd0f7f4165de8730afa244c6658c76169e22beeab8d8dc91fdfe44192ba6a3a5.jpg
I stopped downloading after falling down a vintage Dior wormhole…once I went there, nothing else compared. Hey- is it just me, or are y’all getting pelted with honeymoon/wedding ads? LOL. Dumb algorithms.
Great news about your mom. That is exactly what she needed/needs: practical, physical help where you can, and plain-old chatting/connecting.
That, and a good scare- ha. My heart bled for ya, hearing about it; such a tough position for you to navigate. Based on the research I did (per the vague info I gleaned), you ended up telling her what I would have advised. Yeah, it might not have been technically correct, but it’s the thought that counts.
Everyone wants some semblance of control at such times- not only the patient, but the family and “experts” as well. I was struggling over what to say to you about it, because I empathize with your mom’s need for autonomy first and foremost- only she knows what she can physically endure. But after double-checking the pharmacokinetics/studies/yadayada, I suspected it wasn’t that she couldn’t, but that she didn’t want to deal with the adverse effects. There is a difference, and only she truly knows. The fact that she did end up following the regimen…well, now we know. It’s a tough call in real time though. Good daughter. You served her well. 🙂
Gotta let the eyelids close now. Please don’t let any of the online shenanigans get to you; you’re right, in that the tricksters’ goal is to knock people off balance, trigger emotional responses…just general upset and confusion that leads to dejection/docility. We’ve survived worse, eh? Just take care of numero uno. 😉
p.s. How can I forget to post this one? The first dress I thought of, when I happened upon Murn’s thread. What do you think of this one? Now that I pulled it up, I’m not as crazy about the tuft of fabric at her waist…hmm…thinking I’d prefer it without that bit. I must have remembered Eva’s overall look- I thought the necklace and overall look was smokin’ white-hot elegance:

Later, “Queen”. Haha. Bet you loved that. Who wouldn’t? 😉
Those are gorgeous….I love love love … them both.
I still have these I haven’t posted.
By Dior.

Hi Murn!!! Such clean, modern lines- great finds. I had forgotten about these. That embroidery on Jennifer’s! Love the pop of color, and the pink shoes- it looks so happy.
What about the dress Grace Kelly wore to present at the 1956 Oscars? She is the epitome of elegance:
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7642d7fd0aeb6096ba5fdf8ba70cc66975bbd84aba9b0e4c059a95a042389787.jpg

Sorry for the delay…so don’t ever worry about taking a long time to respond to me. 🙂
Very true on Jennifer Lawrence’s dress, the embroidery is like breaking through the plain white into a happy and cute dress, the pink shoe complete it all.
I agree on Grace Kelly, her beauty and elegance was not comparable to anyone in her time. I like those two dresses in the pics you posted much better than her strapped chiffon in bellow pic. She looks stunning in those two dresses. What a wonderful finding…:))
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6fe33970077a3a0c94d551f247c09b93b515ff1a7875c2a3f7bed9c33361f623.jpg
Nothing need to be sorry, it’s great that you put real life first, I’d mostly do that too. Thank you again and looking forward to be talking again soon. Cheers…
Yes, it is just like Captain J to carry out his duties! No wonder we like the water rat so much! 🙂 Hopefully James will have a bit of time this weekend or next week to give us a little attention. 😉 Usually if I post something negative about the rat kind he gets the vibes and shows up, so maybe we should start talking about those naughty squirrels he loves so much. 😉

Your head is too big for hats??? Say it ain’t so! It would be great fun shopping for hats with you! and I know I could find a hat that fits your head perfectly. 😉 Plus-sized hats! lol… Bowling ball heads??? lol… Love your motto. 🙂 Are you saying that you have had cancer?
Two gorgeous gowns! Stunning…simply elegant. 🙂
“I’m not as crazy about the tuft of fabric at her waist…hmm…thinking I’d prefer it without that bit…I thought the necklace and overall look was smokin’ white-hot elegance…”
No better description than smokin-hot elegance! And that is my impression, either a smaller tuft or without. It might make me feel like a mommie kangaroo. lol… The necklace is gorgeous and beyond! She is wearing my two favorite colors. 🙂
“Great news about your mom. That is exactly what she needed/needs: practical, physical help where you can, and plain-old chatting/connecting…That, and a good scare- ha.”
Agreed. I felt practically wicked giving her such a fright, but what else was there to do with her refusal to take the meds, even with the doctor’s tasteful lecture? My father finally gave up after having several arguments with her about it. Between my sister and myself, we scared the living day lights out of her. lol… It was one of those moments…you better eat your spinach or you’ll be transported to where those starving kids live in far away countries. 😉
“Everyone wants some semblance of control at such times- not only the patient, but the family and “experts” as well. I was struggling over what to say to you about it, because I empathize with your mom’s need for autonomy first and foremost- only she knows what she can physically endure.

You are very much appreciated! Thank you for caring so much, you have a good and tender heart. 🙂 Mother was convinced that the chemo drops were causing dementia, add to that her terrible fear of losing her memory and she crossed her arms and said no…No…NO!!!
Plus the other symptoms she was having and it was just too much.
However, my sister took her to the family doctor who ran some tests and found out she was deficient in vitamin…K (I believe that is correct). This deficiency has all of the symptoms she was suffering.
It truly is difficult to watch a…power-house like my mother become ill, and to make matters worse, she never could tolerate inactivity or illness in other people, so she is seriously struggling. Perhaps this illness will bring about a softer, more compassionate woman.
Did you know that Solomon said, “It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of everyone; the living should take this to heart.”
There is much truth in Solomon’s statement. Much to think about. 🙂
And now it is my turn to grab some shut-eye. These baby blues are sleeeeeepy! Thank you for this wonderfully special comment, it has been very dear to me. 🙂
If that is a Christening gown I really don’t care to meet the father.
LOL… My guess is that it is a wedding gown. But no matter, we still don’t want to meet the father. 😉
Did you just call me a water rat?… Aww, how sweet of you. 🙂
The photo is worth a thousand words. LOL!
James, this comment never made it into my Notifications! I just now discovered it on your profile.
Yes, I called you a water rat because I learned it from you. 🙂 I pay attention to what you write in emails. 🙂

Hi dear Murn!
Hi Dear George.
I hope you are doing well?
You change your handle, that’s better…:))
George = Γιώργος in Greek
Thank you for the knowledge.
I should have checked it earlier, I am sorry for my laziness that made me sounded silly for assuming that you were a lady.
Thank you, George.
I am in Bali. Which country are you from, George?
I’m from Greece. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4c8d22b5ffbbd10453bd699ef074f6176697fc43dd7b62263c66ddb348fb703c.jpg

Love it!
Τελειότητα! Perfection, my friend. 🙂
Welcome back! You were gone for a while and your profile was closed. Hope all is well with you. I just wanted to say thanks for your support, it’s much appreciated. I have to complement you on your taste in clothing and style. Both simple and elegant. Good to see you back!
What up, Miz J!!! Hey- add me to your growing list of new and improved avi fans…BB did a great job. Mucho better. 😉
Thanks! That means a great deal, coming from you. While catching up on all I’ve missed, one thing kept bouncing into my brain: I wish I’d noticed you long ago. I am high-fiving you constantly: “YESSSSSSSSS!!! This lady gets it!” I can hear your playful laugh as well. You are truly a breath of fresh air.
A much needed one at that, so thanks for doin’ whatcha do. Ooh- great tunes too! That’s a must. 🙂
Glad you’re a fan of the avatar, full credit to Blue, since it was all her idea. Thank you for your other compliments as well, I’m humbled by your kind words. You found me, and I appreciate your support, and offer the same to you. I do laugh a lot, and I don’t ever let anything that I have no control over get me down. It’s fine by me to let God be in control, and He is!!! Thanks again, and God bless you.
What the hell?

Gorgeous. There is something fresh, renewing, sweet, and innocent about white dresses. I think spring and summer.
Black and red are for the evenings…and what follows.
😉
And cleansing, purification.
I like the combination of black and red too…shows decisiveness and courage.
I 💙 my white cotton dresses. They’re like heaven on
earth, for comfort, in the Texas climate.😊
That must look beautiful..:))
I imagine something like this picture?
Btw, how is the climate in Texas?

Yes ma’am, that’s one of them.😉
Looks so lovely.
Another simple style that I like.

I bet the lining feels extra nice.
That style is very comfortable on the chest to belly area and it’s light, easy to move.
All beautiful!
Hey there,
Good morning…:))

Greetings Murn!
It’s been really hot 100°-103° this summer.
The cool down has begun, so it’s getting much more comfortable now.
Just in time for hurricane season.😉
Good morning…:))
OMG, that is very hot.
We have never had that high even in our hottest season.
So do you mostly stay inside of your home then? How do you cope with that temperature?
Please stay safe when the hurricane season comes…
You learn how to survive it. Born and raised here.
The new comers have a real hard time getting acclimated.
They pass out in public, because they’re not familiar
with the signs of oncoming heatstroke. They learn.
The municipals are always helpful, educating people.
That must be very hard for new comers.
I used to stay only for couple of days in the heat of about that high temperature, it felt like burning, wore clothes that could protect against the heat.
100 F (30 C) is common, on average, in Brazil.
https://guianoivaonline.com.br/wp-content/uploads/5-lugares-em-S%C3%A3o-Paulo-para-fazer-um-pedido-de-casamento-criativo-6-700×468.jpg
In what months would that be?
all! in winter, between June and September, on some weeks makes 10 C.
That’s three months, it’s same here, those are the hottest months but we rarely have up to 39C
30C on average.
Here too, 30-34C max.
In the night we have 28-30C outdoor temperature.
i looove summer, and hot climate!
Tanned skin?
Like mine, it’s not that tan, just a little bit tan.
natural brown
But 100-103F to C is about 37-39.
It’s very hot.
Same here in Texas Carlos…but with dense humidity, not
a dry heat.
It is usually drier, but the Amazon is hot and humid.
That’s how we get it, like a jungle climate.
Our place sits near a river in between 2 bayou’s….
I’m further south, near the sea, far from the Amazon.
SP was more humid, drizzled more, with deforestation is drier, not cold as it was.
That is so beautiful park for people to hang out with loved ones.
And the sunset looks amazing.
yes, this is the name, Sunset Square.
So perfect.
I bet people hang out in there everyday after work and it doesn’t have to be on the weekend.
yep!
White does not complement my pale complexion. I prefer black.
Black is mystery and power… I like it for night dress too.
Looks chic and I like it..:))

Lovely,
Looks very healthy.
I eat veggies a lot too, but I try to balance it with protein and nuts and have been cutting down the carbs.
great food! and liquids too.
That’s true, and best for our health.
a lot water!
