For the Girls

A couple of thoughts that bounced off of friend's blogs...

Sharyn was looking for Mark's hat before vacation. If she were at our house, I'd have looked in the kitchen sink. Yep. The kitchen sink. Carter throws everything in there these days.

Earlier, I found a sandal, a plastic grocery bag, and a twix-it clip in there.

And a thought came to me about white clothing while reading Yvonne's comment on my mom's post. She had mentioned about wearing a nude-color slip under the white confo. dresses.

I didn't learn this rule-of-thumb until I was almost finished with high school and I wish I had known it long before! But when you wear a white shirt, besides wearing black or red, a white bra is the absolute worst thing you can wear under it! You will see the whole thing. (Grimace).

I made that mistake many times when I was younger. But that problem is easily solved by wearing a nude-color bra. If you wear a tone that more closely matches your skin color, it will be nearly invisible, contrary to what you might think. :) Just a little tip because I know there are plenty of people, like me, who may not know that. Try it! Next time you're bra shopping, bring along a white shirt and try it. You'll be able to see the difference yourself.

The same goes for white skirts. A nude-color slip will be nearly invisible, while a white one will be noticeable. :) It's one of those things I really appreciated learning and one I rarely think about anymore - but I think it's a tip well worth passing along!
