This month’s Ping Pong Post has expanded. We have two guests joining Samantha, Anna, and me: Sheela, who you already know from The Fab 40s, and Greetje, the author of No Fear of Fashion. That means this green shaggy dress (yes, it’s a dress!) has traveled to four destinations until it was returned recently toContinue reading Green Shaggy Dress–Ping Pong Post 8 with 2 More Bloggers
Oh wow! I can’t believe it’s already October 18, and I have only posted on Kremb de la Kremb one other time this month back on October 3rd. I guess I needed to take a break–just what the doctor ordered! There was a time with this blog that I was posting every single day, MondayContinue reading Just What the Doctor Ordered
The off the shoulder trend is still going strong–at least in my wardrobe. For someone with sloping shoulders, this style works really well for me; it also works well with my heftier topside. The thing is this style may not seem work appropriate, yet, when I wore this very outfit to work last week, IContinue reading Off the Shoulder at Work
This Friday will mark 8 weeks with my new hip. I’m pretty much at a loss of words. I will be so bold as to say my new hip is miraculous. It’s been so long since I’ve been able to walk normally, that to be 8 weeks post a hip replacement and walking without crutches,Continue reading Meet Pinky, My New (and very improved) Hip!
Oh September! You are a blur for all of us Fab 40s. Vero chose such a great and very different theme for us this month: hats. The Fab 40s always post on the last Monday of the month, yet I was definitely caught by surprise with the somewhat early September date. I picked up thisContinue reading The Fab 40s in Hats
It was my turn this month for the Ping Pong Post collaboration running between me, Anna, and Samantha. I’ll be honest: I wanted to go with a simple classic. What’s more sure than a Breton strip shirt? The version I chose–a hand-me-down from my sister–has a bit of spunk to it; it’s boxy and cropped.Continue reading Breton Stripe Shirt–Ping Pong Post No. 7
I splurged on these tennies! I now have two teenagers. I work as a high school librarian with teenagers. It can’t be helped. I’m influenced by teens. What can I say? But, I love it. Working with kids, I like to think it helps keep me young. I don’t stop to think, “Oh, I’m 44.Continue reading Influenced by Teens
Gigi is 13 today. It’s cliché to say this, but it really does feel like yesterday when she was my little cuddle bunny born in Venezuela. Yes, she was a bit tremenda as an infant, crying her way through a colic stage, but she was always and still is so close to me. I usedContinue reading Gigi is a Young Lady
Just in time for Labor Day, here is one last summer post from our trip to San Diego where we spent some time aboard the USS Midway. I’ve mentioned how great the trip was from sunsets on La Jolla Beach to alone time and date nights with Kevin. We cruised along promenades on bikes andContinue reading USS Midway
I wanted to fit one last denim DIY before Labor Day this Monday. And I also wanted to offer a DIY that didn’t involve a tailor. This time it will be all on you! Have you noticed how coloring has become the trend for relaxation? Well this do it yourself project takes coloring to anotherContinue reading DIY Color Book Jeans
I told you I’d be back today in a bomber jacket! This is my third version of the fall trend that is making its way into your closet! I started getting excited about the bomber jacket back in June when I purchased my lacy Zara version, my letterman “A” jacket, and also this paisley one.Continue reading My Third Bomber Jacket and Bomber Jackets for You, ALL Under $50!
I have so much to cheer for! Really, I do!! Besides having pretty much the cutest bomber jacket ever, I have some things to bounce around the bleachers for acting like a cheerleader once again. For one, I’m walking, slowly but surely. I went back to work today–yes, it was only for two hours, butContinue reading The Fab 40s in a Bomber Jacket
