Wednesday challenge: get sentimental

[ditzydi]

I totally forgot about today's challenge even after asking yesterday. Ha



Shirt: BR (last year)
Faux leather skirt: I <3 Ronson (2 years old)
LC Conrad bow heels (last year?  Maybe 2 years ago?  Can't remember)  Trying to note where and when I got things since I"m trying to do remix what I already have and keep myself accountable that I haven't gone and bought out a whole store.  Ha.

Feeling gross today but did the challenge. My dad passed away 3 weeks ago today, and these boots he gave me for Christmas days before he passed. (We had a belated Christmas on Jan 2 because he was in the hospital on Christmas, and then he went back into the hospital that night and passed away 4 days later). And the necklace, he gave me and my 2 sisters one and it's a cameo with 3 "sisters" on it. I started wearing it again recently after years.

Only thing I'm sentimental about is my jewelry. Excited to wear this dress though. Got it at Ann Taylor a few weeks ago.

Awesome dress and it looks great on you!

Nothing super sentimental on today, although this sweater is one I don't love, but can't let go of for some reason.

I love the sentimentality of your necklace.  I'm glad your daddy was able to celebrate Christmas with ya'll since you had mentioned it was his favorite holiday.

this is basically the opposite of sentimental, since I just got this scarf yesterday and wanted to wear it, lol

Unable to upload my pic through tapatalk today so I hope this worked.

One of my oldest (since we were 8yo.) and dearest friends made this (real) pearl necklace for me. I love it and wear it regularly.

I suppose I should do my own challenge. The circle necklace is the first gift DH gave me when w were dating. I joked with my mom that my last name would start with O someday and now it does.

Pants are dark purple.

Cameo necklace was my grandma's, my grandpa brought it back from Germany for her when he was serving overseas.

mrsguz You honored your dad so beautifully. So sorry for your loss.

mrsguz - I love that necklace!

[ditzydi]

I'm sitting here at my desk going awwww....over all the sentimental stories. Love them.

that's so sweet mrsguz! Big hugs to you. My dad passed away just before thanksgiving this year and it was a really hard holiday season. I've started wearing some more stuff he gave me and I have such fun memories about it all. It's kind of nice to have material things like that to make me smile

I didn't know! I'm so sorry friend.  I remember listening to you talk about him at our first GTG and I could tell he meant a lot to you. Hugs my friend. (heart)

mrsguz, I know I said it on fb but I'm so sorry for your loss too. It was very very clear to see what he meant to you and your family and for what it's worth, you did an exceptional job of telling how wonderful he was in everything you posted. It felt like those following your story got to know how special he was through you.  (heart)

mrsguz so sorry for your loss. The three sisters necklace is so nice. So wonderful that you got to share some priceless moments before he passed.

@bcarp So sorry for the loss of your daddy. Wishing you comfort during this time.

Thank you. I had such a great dad. I know people are probably getting tired of me posting about it. Ha!
