Silver and Gold

When I was in Girl Scouts - yes, for 7 years - we sang this song:

"Make new friends, but keep the old. One is Silver and the other's Gold. "


At the time I really didn't know what I was singing, but now I certainly do. I got a brief little email from an old friend. A gal I love dearly, but God has taken our lives in slightly different paths so we don't really get to connect too often. She is Golden, a friendship that has been refined by fire, purified and found to be true and valuable.

Thank you Lord for my Silver and Gold friends.

My Shape

I have to tell you about www.myshape.com. I LOVE this website.

Set up an account, answer some style preference questions and enter in all of your measurements - yea, i know, who wants to see those numbers, but trust me it is worth it - then, MAGIC! You have clothing suggestions fitted just to your size and your body shape.

MyShape has categorized bodies into 7 different shapes and has ShapeMatchTM that makes suggestions for your own personalized shop based not only on your measurements but also those style questions you answered in your account set up. Thus far i have ordered two outfits and 1 dress and have felt like a million bucks in each. I have gotten so many compliments from friends and acquaintances when they've seen me in my MyShape outfits.

Warning: Some of the prices of the designers they feature are really expensive, but once you see the examples of items that fit and flatter you, then you are empowered to go to your local treasure hunting grounds and shop till you drop.
