I almost resent the whole fashion thing. Good God – never wearing the same thing twice and all of those things. It’s a pain in the ass. ~ Jennifer Aniston
What a problem to have…eh? 😉

Linking up with Patti for VISIBLE MONDAY.
******************
Any golfers out there? This one’s for you! 🙂
Skipping church
Father Norton woke up Sunday morning and realizing it was an exceptionally beautiful and sunny early spring day, decided he just had to play golf. So… he told the Associate Pastor that he was feeling sick and persuaded him to say Mass for him that day.
As soon as the Associate Pastor left the room, Father Norton headed out of town to a golf course about forty miles away. This way he knew he wouldn’t accidentally meet anyone he knew from his parish. Setting up on the first tee, he was alone. After all, it was Sunday morning and everyone else was in church!
At about this time, Saint Peter leaned over to the Lord while looking down from the heavens and exclaimed, You’re not going to let him get away with this, are you?”
The Lord sighed, and said, “No, I guess not.”
Just then Father Norton hit the ball and it shot straight towards the pin, dropping just short of it, rolled up and fell into the hole. IT WAS A 420 YARD HOLE IN ONE!
St. Peter was astonished. He looked at the Lord and asked, “Why did you let him do that?”
The Lord smiled and replied, “Who’s he going to tell?“
Have a blessed day!
Jeannie
Oh I love that coat! And I am borrowing those shoes on Friday. God always knows how to administer the proper justice right? 🙂
I know what you mean i think i wore the same outfit twice in 20 years! No joke! Ihave beendoing for a long time!
I love the 2 tone shoes!
Arianexxxx
Wow, can’t imagine the size of your closet!! 😉 I think I still have a few pieces from 20 or so years ago….somewhere in the basement? Are they considered vintage? 😀
Thanks for visiting, Ariane!
Love your coat! And the bag is TDF, the Reissue is so elegant and classy.
Thank you!
Aren’t they timeless? I wish I had them in all colors!! Kinda like your Bal collection! 😉
Jeannie, It’s been way to long since I’ve been here! You really look amazing. This is on the inside and the outside. You have such a sweet smile on your face, and it is your sweet soul about you. I have to figure out the best way to follow along Gracefully 50… by email or Bloglovin’ are my two top choices. Anyway, I’ve missed seeing your smiley, happy self and great sense of style! Hope you are well!

Hi Whitley!
Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet words! I’m on my way to see what you’ve been up to!
Happy weekend!
YOU are my inspiration this year!
And by the way that joke was priceless! And I think I can even remember it long enough to tell my husband! 😉
Ooh, you are just way too wonderful. Thank you for this!
I’m like you…can’t remember jokes and terrible at telling one. Always miss the punch line. 😉
Hope your hubby got a chuckle out of it.
You always look so effortlessly chic. I bet you could give Jen a run for her money 🙂
Oh, how I wish!
Thanks, Lynne!
Poor Jen 🙂
I wish we all feeled this way…
What a terrific coat, Jeannie. You are so stylish as always 🙂 I really love your black sleeves hutting out from your coat!
xoxo,
Anne Touraine (Playing with Scarves)
Good morning, Anne!
Thank you! And yes, to have Jen’s problems…… 😉
Hope you have a beautiful day!
haha, great story. i often skip church on sunday depending on what’s going on. mostly because of sick kids, birthday parties or just to give my hubby a break. sometimes it’s nice to have a lazy sunday. but i’m so grateful that i can just tell my pastor and she completely understands 🙂 I LOVE LOVE LOVE that jacket on you. it’s got great structure and is so flattering. the shoes are very cute too!

Thank you, Claire!
You know I miss my kids when I visit your blog. How sweet would it be to have little ones running around the house?
A lazy Sunday….oh yes!
Pure class and style, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Love and want your shoes,
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Thank you, Sacramento! 🙂
Oh Jeannie … you’re so damn stylish! And gorgeous! How I’d love to raid your closet!
Hope your having a smashing 2013 thus far …
Wendy! You’re so darn sweet! I thank you!
I am having a good year so far….can’t believe January is almost over. Wow, time flies!
You are welcome in my closet, my dear! 🙂
This coat is amazingly well cut !

Merci, Luna! 🙂
Loving the details of this outfit -the animal print belt, the bell cuffed sleeves, and especially the shoes, are all darling!!! ~Sarah
Thank you, Sarah! 🙂
What a gorgeous jacket! And I like the way you styled it with jeans – a bit of polish and a bit of casual. It’s a great outfit!
Thank you, Val! Just my way of dressing up my favorite piece of clothing….jeans!!
Hilarious! Btw, love the outfit, especially the cap-toed pumps! 🙂
fauxionista.com
Thank you! Glad you liked the joke! 🙂
LOLOL! Love that joke! So funny. I love the smart coat you’ve got on. I need another so I’ve been hunting around for one that’s a good fit. Love Jennifer Aniston’s humor too. I think both my readers and I will pass out from boredom if I ever write a strictly fashion blog. My clothes are in heavy rotation.
Haha, Glad you found the joke funny! Hubby thought it was a good one…well, he’s a golfer.
You have a wonderful blog! Interesting topics, humor, and well written. Great photography, too! 🙂
Your coat and shoes are so stylish.
Really liked the joke, too… how true!
Annette
Hi Annette!
Thank you! Glad you stopped by! 🙂
Jeannie, this long jacket is wonderful and I also like your black patent leather shoes! Even in grey you look fantastic.
Danke sehr, Sabine! 🙂
Funny joke and great outfit. I wish I could tell Jen to start a trend of wearing the same outfit more than once.
Haha. I would love to be on the receiving end of her “once worn” clothing!
What a beautiful jacket and I love the shoes too 🙂 you look great! Oh, to have Jenn Aniston’s fashion problems…..
Ginny

Thanks, Ginny!
Yes, wouldn’t that be nice?!! 🙂
I absolutely adore the last picture of you, smiling. I feel as though I’m with you, sharing your joke!
Beautiful.
Hi lady!
Thank you! Kinda goofy looking, imo. If you only knew what I thought about my photos…. 😦 I honestly don’t know what I’m doing posting them online….. Really? I’m having one of those days wondering what I’m doing with this blog and where I’m going with it. Fashion? Personal style? Narcissism? Oh boy, sorry to unload on you. My hormones must be acting up. Lol.
Hope you have a great week, Elisa.
Jeannie, I’m here for you to unload on…any time! I think everyone has anxieties about blogging, I sure do. I can’t even remember what possessed me to start in the first place, and when I did, it sort of took over my life! Don’t question yourself, you have such a warm presence and provide an uplifting experience for everyone who visits your blog. You ARE TRULY inspiring! Beautiful, inside and out. My daughter is graduating from high school in May, and I’m having trouble reconciling the time I spend on blogging versus the time I should be spending with her. So I might be taking a break soon… but I’ll let you know! Lets always keep in touch, okay?
Elisa
Yes, do let me know and we’ll definitely stay in touch. Thank you!
Btw, my comments are not showing up on WordPress blogs. Have emailed them for help but haven’t heard anything yet.
That building on your recent post – been in that area so many time but never noticed the shape. I’m so oblivious. You should be an ambassador for Atlanta and GA with your wonderful posts about our State. 🙂 I’ve learned a lot from you, that’s for sure!
Ha! Love Jennifer Aniston’s quote. lol
What a gorgeous jacket…and you have the most to-die-for footwear!
Isn’t it sad that Jen has such a problem?? 😉
Thanks, Lisa!
Love this coat!
Thanks!!!
I love this outfit! The coat is very sharp (what great way to jazz up black denim jeans) and I LOVE the shoes!!
Thank you! Although, I could live in a pair of jeans and t-shirt. Throw on a sweatshirt to ward off chills and voila! I am a happy camper. 😉
My dad loved that joke, too!
And I bet he was a golfer. Yes? 🙂
ha ha! loved the joke : ) …and I LOVE The jacket! Gorgeous!
bisous
Suzanne
Thanks, Suzanne!
Fabulous, chic coat, Jeannie! Thanks for sharing your stylish choices with Visible Monday.
Thank you, Patti!
Jeannie, Sometimes I hate clicking on your new posts because I always have so much PURSE envy. Rarely does that green eyed monster take over me but always and I mean always your bags get me! Now, that being said. You look lovely in neutrals but I honestly think you are one of the lucky ones that looks great in anything!
I wanted to thank you for your sweet comments on our Little Man. I ache that they live 2000 miles away in Seattle and feel blessed that we were able to go. Our vacations are always centered around warmth, sun and beachy areas……..Why do I think that is now going to change? Hello Seattle I am your new frequent visitor!!!
Have a great week my stylish friend!
Hi Tammy!
2000 miles is so far! I don’t blame you for going to Seattle for your vacays from now on. Your little man is just adorable!
As for my bags…..that’s my achilles heel. Mostly, they’re gifts from hubby for special occasions. It makes gift buying easy for him, and I’m a happy recipient! 😉
I love your style and your photos are amazing. So..did you get your feb harpers bazaar?? The fabulous at every age competition is starting…..I really encourage you to participate because you’d be a strong contender.
Thank you, Bessie!
I looked up last year’s finalists….I’m so NOT in their league.
I really appreciate your suggestion tho…..thank you! 🙂
You look amazing!! What a beautiful coat!! The shoes are so unique!
Thank you, Carmen!
Happy weekend!
Hahaha! 🙂 I love that gray coat on you! Happy Weekend, Jeannie!
Since you and Jack golf, I figure you’d appreciate this joke!
Hope you have a great weekend, too!
Another great look, Jeannie! I’ve been away from the blogging world for a bit, but how nice to return and see your smiling face! You’re such a bright spot in the blogosphere—so authentic—a truly beautiful spirit!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Hi Mary!
Glad you’re back! What a beautiful comment – Thank You So Much!
Hope you’re having a good weekend as well!
Looking good Jeannie, as always! Love the layering.
Thanks, Mandy!
Happy weekend to you!
Naughty! 😀 and I love your outfit. If I can afford it, why should I wear a dress twice. ha ha ha. I can only dream. 🙂
Yes, we can dream…. and it doesn’t cost a penny! 😉
Thank you SJ, and have a great weekend!
Haha! My brother would love this one 😉 Love your outfit and that white 2.55! My patent red has been sitting looking pretty in the closet for a while now, must take her out for a spin.
Kisses from Dubai!

Yeah, I think the golfers will appreciate this joke the most. 😀
Oh yes! Do take your red out for a spin! Love to see it!
Happy weekend to you!
Oh jeez, that’s hilarious! and just His sense of humor. 😉
You’re looking classy, sexy, polished, fun, all rolled into one gorgeous package!
Glad I could make you smile!
Thanks, Joni! You’re very sweet! 🙂
Funny joke! I love your jacket & the belt! What a great classic pieces. If you ever want to sell anything in your closet, please let me know. I love everything you have.

Thank you, Alice!
I will definitely let you know! 😉
I love the jacket!!!
Thanks, Becky!
Have a great weekend!
What a fabulous classic look you are rockin’ here
Love those shoes
Brett
Thank you, my dear!
Happy weekend!
Gotta love the long jacket! Have you paired it with a short skirt? One of my favorite songs is “Short Skirt and a Long Jacket”…
Thank, daisy!
Haha, I just found the song on YouTube. Like the lyric! I just may have to wear it with a short skirt!! 😉
Needed a laugh today… thanks! You’re pretty in cool neutrals (my favorite palette, actually.) Textures are just the handiest tool, and here’s a lesson in how to use them. I wish I had seen this blog yesterday when I was in a monochrome mood and ended up looking just blah. I instantly see what I could have done to perk it all up with more variety in texture. When are you going to write a book for us so we don’t have to rely on our own notes?! I’m serious …
Jan,
Your comments are so thoughtful! Thank you!
Oh, I’m afraid my little knowledge is not enough to write anything. I just know what I like. But I do appreciate your words. 🙂
Funny Golf Story : ). I love the coat with the purse. So modest looking. Have a wonderful day. God Bless
Hello Bre!
Thank you, and have a wonderful weekend! God bless YOU! 🙂
Jeannie. With every post you are more and more beautiful. HOOOWWWW???!!!
Edita
http://www.pret-a-reporter.co.uk
Edita, could you just come live with me? You are such a sweetie!
Thank you!
Yes yes I could! ADOPT ME 😀 hahaha
Nice outfit. The jacket is beautiful and looks great with this shirt and these pants. The bag is nice, but the shoes are wonderful. A simple look that looks elegant and casual.
Thank you, Josep!
I always look forward to your comments, and I appreciate your input very much! 🙂
Jeannie….if I had a peek into your shoe closet I might pass out. Your entire outfit is beautiful; love the length of the jacket, but those shoes! WOW.
Hi Lisa,
We do love our shoes, don’t we?
Thank you, and have a terrific weekend, my dancing friend! 🙂
You look gorgeous in your grey and black!! I LOVE the shoes!!
Hi Tamera!
Thank you! Have a wonderful weekend! Kisses to your fur-kids!
I am seriously in love with this look and want to raid your closet, however, I do believe you are much tinier than I am so it would be like the Hulk trying to squeeze into Kermit the Frogs clothing. Wait, Kermit didn’t wear clothing. Well, you know what I mean. What a beautifully constructed coat. The heels…..to die for. The print belt is the perfect touch. Your’e one hot mama!
Paula
stylist & larger than Kermit
Paula, U Funny! 😆
I doubt you’re much bigger than I am….well, in some areas, yes. Which I envy very much!
Thank you for making me laugh. It’s been a dreary week here with rain and more rain. I need sunshine!!!
Where would I be if I couldn’t wear the same thing twice? I’m guessing naked or in my husband’s clothes! Lovely outfit today. The two-tone patent shoes are wonderful and I like how your sleeves peek out of that crisp jacket. I think it’s time for me to go shoe shopping. You give me such great inspiration. Happy Weekend (almost)!
Lol! Me, too!!
I actually like hubby’s clothes.
Thanks for your sweet words, Laura! Now go shopping!!! 🙂
A gray tailored coat and black jeans can take you anywhere in style. And the quilted Chanel bag, a classic.
As for wearing the same thing twice, some of the things in my closet are probably older than a few of your readers!
April
Thanks, April!
Haha, I may have few of those hanging in my closet, too! 😉
I love this look…it is the type of style I often wear (except for the heels)…but you are rocking it! Have a great day…keep joking and laughing!
Thank you, Pam!
Happy weekend to you!
those stuarts were on my fall must haves list…GORGEOUS..I never did get them…and truly envy yours.
Hope you have a great weekend.
Hi Carly!
Not too late! And I think they’re on sale! 🙂
Happy weekend to you, too!
Love the coat, the quote and the joke! This color palette is perfect on you. I always look forward to seeing what you have for us every week. Perfectly accessorized and beautiful, as always!
Alison,
You are just so good for my ego! Thanks, sweetie! 🙂
I love the length of that fabulous coat! And those cap toe heels are AMAZING 🙂
XO
Pearls & Paws
Thank you so much, Heather!
And thank you for your visit! 🙂
I love that coat!
Perfect winter layer.
Cheers,
Laura
Thanks, Laura!
Yes, it is winter here…cold and dreary! 😦
I love your coat and also mix-matching of the colors.
Thank you, Kathleen!
Glad you stopped by! 🙂
Regarding the Jennifer Aniston quote–I just wear the same thing all the time and don’t worry about it!!! 😉 And, of course, you look f-a-b-u-l-o-u-s!!! Loved the joke, too!!! And now I’m going to bed (it’s 1:40 a.m.–ah yes, the life of an unemployed woman–not by choice, mind you but it “ain’t bad”!!! A little tight on the cash side, though . . . 😉
Oh, Sara, thank you!
Glad you liked the joke. I hope the economy picks up and you’ll be able to find work.
Hang in there! 🙂
I love long jackets. Yours is beautiful!
Thank you, Elaine!
Are you getting excited about your trip yet?? 😀
Very excited but also feeling stressed this evening because we’ve run into a major glitch in getting our visas. You can read about it on my blog.
You look so good! Fab shoes, my dear (but when aren’t your shoes amazing?) Also love the Jen A quote (though if I could afford to never wear the same thing twice, I may consider it :))
Thank you!!
Can’t imagine having enough not to repeat. I could get used to it, too! 😉
Ha! Good one;)
The coat is gorgeous! .. and love the pumps. I wouldn’t have guessed they were SW.
xxleslie
Thanks, Leslie!
S. Weitzman is one of my favorite brands…love the way they fit and b/c they’re comfortable, too.
Have a great weekend!
The joke made me laugh!
I’m glad!
Hope you’re having fun at the beach! It’s dreary and raining here. 😦
Oh my, I think this is my favorite outfit of yours yet! I love their black and grey and those shoes are simply amazing!! I wish I could steal them from you!
Hi Sweetie!
Thank you! You are more than welcome to borrow them! Size 6? 😀
Oh, how I wish… these big feet of mine need a size 9 or 9.5 LOL
HAHAHA!!! Love the joke. You look smashing! I love long jackets like that but they aren’t easy to find. Stunning bag and shoes too…
Glad you liked the joke and Thank You! 🙂
