WAXAHACHIE
Hi Everyone! I’m in Dallas this week, seeing the grand kids, doing a little blog work, but I mainly came in to drive my Dad to Waxahachie, Texas for a surgical procedure he needs, that will hopefully ease the constant pain he has in his shoulder. He gets a deep injection into the bone about every six months or so. All is well, and hopefully he will start to feel better soon!
Isn’t Waxahachie a funny name for a town? Every time I hear or see the word, I think about the story of the big tall Texan that went to his doctor for a check up. After the doctor examined him, he walked out of the room and started laughing hysterically. His nurse asked him what was so funny? He said, “did you see the big tall Texan that went into the room”? She nodded. “Well”, he said…”he has “Shorty” tattooed on his “man part”! The nurse started cracking up, and wanted to go and see. The doctor told her to go in the room. She went in, and stayed in for a quite a while. The doctor heard lots of commotion! When she came out of the room, she was a bit disheveled! The doctor said, “Nurse, what happened in there?” “Well, she said…it might have said “Shorty” when you were in there, but when I was in there, it said, “Shorty’s Western Wear of Waxahachie Texas!” Cracks me up every time I tell that! Not to worry…it’s the only joke I’ve got!
Shopping my closet has been kind of fun! I have had the black pants above for about 15 years, no kidding! They are Theory, and a good example of how buying classic pieces really does pay off. I bought the coat on sale at the end of the year. I wanted to pair it with all black, so I grabbed my cashmere turtleneck and cheetah print bag, and voila….I like the way it looks! Are you all shopping your closets? Let me know!!!
Thank you for reading, and know how much I appreciate you all and your comments!

That coat is a beautiful outer layering!!! The shawl collars and interesting way it belts—-what a fabulous item in your closet!! Although I’m surprised you need it much in Texas—so I’d be delighted to take it off your hands—ha ha!! jodie

Hi Jodie! Thank you!!! I do love this coat! I am in Nashville most of the time now, so you are going to have to fight me for it! It is cold here!!! Have about eight inches of snow trying to melt right now. Thanks for your comments, and love looking at your blog! xx

I live in Plano. Love the cashmere turtleneck….especially the sale price. Do you find it to be to warm? I’ve stayed away from anything wool since the take over of hot flashes has begun!

Hi Yvette! Ugggghhhh, those stinking hot flashes! I hear you on those! I can’t wear wool, because it makes me itch, so cashmere and cotton seem to be what I buy. The cashmere is light enough, that it doesn’t make me warm. I actually will wear a cashmere cardigan in the summer indoors. I find it to be the perfect weight! Thanks for your comment!

Love the pale blue coat and how you combine it! I totally agree on buying good classics such as your Theory black pants. And also love the Cheetah print clutch. The whole look is gorgeous!

Welcome to Texas! I live in Midlothian (about 5 minutes from Waxahachie), but my mom and my husband’s family are all from Waxahachie (cattlemen). Downtown area is wonderful! You should stop by…lots of cute shops on the square. Pops Hamburgers is great for a homemade burger…and College Street Pub has great food and atmosphere. Both near downtown. Enjoy your stay! I love your blog…just started following you! 🙂

Hey Stefanie! I grew up in Dallas, but never spent much time in any other Texas towns. All of a sudden, I am hearing about how cute and quaint Waaxahachie is! We didn’t get to spend a single second out of the day surgery center, then headed right back to Dallas. I need a trip back to see the square! Thank you for following along with me on the blog! I appreciate my readers so much!!! xoxo
