These shirts at Macy's made me think about May D&F/Foley's/Macy's at Villa Italia Mall in Lakewood Colorado in the 80s. My mom always wore clothes like this and it is the kind she would buy me. I don't remember really wanting anything else, but I didn't like how I looked. I look now at pictures of myself back then and can't stand how droopy haired and goofy I looked and I can't stand the clothes I wore. I don't want to wear anything like it now.

I remember my mom always going to Hallmark, you could do all your shopping for a gift at this store. They have very cute items and most everything I like there. But times have changed I think. It is sad to me that Hallmark's are going out of business. It reminds me of simpler and kinder times. Maybe not realistically, but to me. I was innocent and sheltered, and my parents weren't rich, but I was fortunate to live in a wonderful house in a rich neighborhood. However, I thought everyone lived that way, and when I got out on my own in my early 20s, I quickly found out it isn't that way.

I don't go to the mall that often. I took my son and his friend there over the weekend and while they went their way I went mine. I like a lot of the things in the windows, but it doesn't mean I have to have them. I like the cute animals from Build-A-Bear, which reminds me of when I took my kids there when they were little. I have bittersweet memories of that. Other windows I just liked, I don't know why. But it made me think a lot about the 80s and 90s, my mom always would shop at Sears or JC Penney's or Joslins. I went into Macy's and it reminded me alot of those stores from that era. I miss those times.

I love it when it gets chilly in Korea.

Turtleneck

Turtleneck

The classic ensemble for the Los Angeles professional woman -- turtleneck sweater, knee length skirt, knee high leather boots. Worn on warm days, like in this picture,

(78 degrees that day) -- as well as cooler days.

Simultaneous turtles -- same women as previously posted image different day

This wig has become one of my favorites, purchased a few years ago from Han Beauty Supply in Redford MI. The turtleneck top got washed a few times, and it shrunk since this photo was taken in 2004. The pantyhose are Leggs Sheer Energy in suntan. Belt, necklace and ankle bracelet came from Claire's.

Another pretty face and a pretty turtleneck. Notice the person behind her is wearing short sleeves. It was about 77 degrees out that day in Los Angeles.
