"Totes" and its offspring, "totes magotes," are firmly planted in the parlance of the 2010s. The only other phrase I remember post-2000 is "throwing (someone) under the bus," which was yet another unfortunate offshoot from that beast known as reality TV. No, the slang that really sticks in my head is the kind coined in the '90s. First periods and pimples have a way of cementing stuff. Here are my lingo list-toppers:
As if.
Don't go there.
Whatever.
Talk to the hand.
Not!
Not! was my favorite. I said it a lot. And with that settled, we can move on.
I know there's only one coat in this post, but the plural means that there are more on the horizon (also, how else would I have wedged in "totes"?!). This blue number is what's called a teddy coat. Teddy as in bear because the people at Nine West think it's cuddly. The husband thinks it looks like Cookie Monster. Which isn't bad, as far as fictional furballs go. At least it's not a Gremlin; I'll take it.

Also on the near-junk food front, we have this Emboldened Arches Necklace. Sadly, no French fries were harmed in the making of it.

And now on to calendar news! I can't believe that next week is winter. The sun will set on autumn, signaling Mother Nature to spin her sorcery -- and make snow cones. So I thought now was a good time to post this fally pic of a sunset that the husband took outside our house. I like to think of it as Pastel Parade Over the Pasture. True, there aren't any horses. But that barn-like structure suggests that there could be.

Your coat is perfect! Unforunately, I don't wear my coats as often as I wish to do as I'm still working from home ... Love your other looks including your birdie Christmas decoration as well!

Love the lingo list! The blue coat looks soooo soft and warm!! It's a stunning shade of blue and compliments the floral dress and necklace really well. The collection of cupcakes in your hair is the CUTEST thing ever!!! I love the French-fry necklace and it looks great with the polka dot dress. Side ponytails are one of my all-time favorite hairstyles and you rock it perfectly with the red ribbon! The sunset photo your husband took is gorgeous, as is your happy little cardinal tree. :)
Speaking of sayings/slang, there was one I heard Jerry Springer say about 15 years ago that adds to one on your list. Its - "talk to the elbow coz the hand ain't listening".
