Timeless Classics

When you look at a fashionable image and can’t tell in which decade it was taken, the women are likely wearing classics. Get in my time machine, and I’ll take us back to 1973. The look I wore to the grocery store on Wednesday is the same formula I wore in high school.

I started buying my school clothes with babysitting money in 1970, and since then, my favorite look has been a tee shirt or sweater and a pair of straight-leg faded jeans. This basic combo can take me almost anywhere if I add a pair of loafers, sandals, or sneakers. A few pieces of jewelry and cool-looking sunglasses add pizzaz. Alternatively, when I add a blazer, a pair of heels, dramatic earrings, and an elegant clutch bag, I’m ready for an after-work glass of wine with gal pals.

The jeans are here. The sweater is here. The penny loafers are here.

The clutch bag is here. The sunglasses are here. Similar hoop earrings are here. A similar bangle bracelet is here. The watch is here.

The weather was warm and sunny as I stocked up on ingredients to make one of my family’s favorites: fruitcake.

Speaking of timeless classics, fruitcake is a treat I’ve been making for my friends and family for decades. A favorite childhood memory was those store-bought fruitcakes my mother used to get during the holidays. This one is next-level! If you would like the recipe, just leave a request in the comments, and I’ll email it to you.
