Dark chocolate

I’m shopping for some cute white, maybe even a floral for summer, My current non-workout sneaker lineup:

Ron White sneaker, J/Slideplatform (good for jeans hemmed for boots) and Sketchers (super comfy)

Spanish, I lean that way too “ Speaking for myself, I am into labels but not logos….But, I have learned that the label may not tell the product truthfully. Whenever the item has been made for the discount market .. in this latest case, I am looking at you Cole Haan and Nordstrom Rack...buyer beware. Loved my C. Haan Grand Court sneakers, so bought a new pair at N.Rack. The inner lining was merely a thin piece of foam that had made the shoes unwearable after a few weeks. Ugh. I‘ve learned , in So many cases, the once upscale brand has been sold strictly for Its name. It feels unlawfully dishonest to me.

That may not be the Cole Haan story, though the family brand was sold awhile ago.

I've always called them tennis shoes instead of sneakers, but then I did wear them to play tennis.

In San Francisco, I would buy Tretorn tennis shoes because they were all white, and I would buy Tretorn tennis balls because they were also white, whereas other tennis balls (in the 1970s) were fluorescent chartreuse or orange, and I wanted my tennis to be all white. I even made my own tennis shorts.

I recently bought some more white leather Tretorn tennis shoes, and I feel that I can wear them all year in Palm Springs - especially since so many people wear golf outfits there.

Thanks for sharing, and prayers for you and your DH. It’s great that he seems to be enjoying himself and having a good time.

As for the jackets, keep both! They are both great and classic and look wonderful on you.

The dress and jacket look adorable on you. You can wear camel so I don't have to. :)

I like it all! I do love pique in the summer, so classic and cool. And you have such a warm smile, KSWL. Also sending hugs. Hope DS2 and DH are knocking it out of the park.

Before we retired and moved, DH had a 3 minute commute and I had a 45 minute commute. I often worked lionger hours and had a more lucretive job. We did have a twice weekly housekeeper which was a big help. DH did 80% of the laundry, while I did 80% of the cooking and grocery shopping., although there were many nights when I worked late that we just got takeout. He did most of the pet care all those years and when DD was young I did most of the childcare, but he was good about it if I had a work conflict.. He managed the household bills. We hired out mowing the front and side yards and he mowed the backyard. Entertaining was solely my job, although she would run errends when I asked. All in all, I’d say it was a pretty even split. I credit it to his mother, who was a single mom after his father fied when he was 11.

I quoted jojoco from 2 days ago. She nailed it!

@jojoco Same! I was telling DH about this thread and quoted Jojo too!
