The lunch place sounds lovely, bon appetit.<br />Good luck with your apparel-diet-Feb. I have to say I'm not a big spender but no-spends make me conscious of those little ad hoc buys that could easily slip in. But a whole year ... Wow!<br />Yes, the bag is a lovely sludge colour of grey/taupe, so goes with everything.thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-39557637203396789292017-02-02T16:36:48.079+00:002017-02-02T16:36:48.079+00:00Breakfast out is not something we do, mainly becau...Breakfast out is not something we do, mainly because we live so far from anywhere that would serve us a great breakfast or as nice as the two you two had. Now lunch out, is different. Our little coffee/pecan shop has just started offering sandwiches and soup for lunch and we might go in today to try her menu. <br /><br />Congratulations for making it through a month of "apparel diet"as I call it. I didn't even try this month-to many good sales. Back in 2012 I went a whole year without buying any clothes (fabric never counts with me-so may have gotten some of that). But I think I will try it for this February-after all it is a short month and maybe I can get through 28 days!<br /><br />Is that bag grey with taupe accents-if it is those are great colors! I can see why you want it.
