Retirement??<br /><br />:)<br /><br />But you could always retire into another career. Be an actress or a writer or a for-hire assassin. (No one would suspect you.)<br /><br />Love the outfits. They are comfortable, but still put together. And your hair is fabulous!

Nothing worse to me than a women in her 60's trying to look like she is 30's........I want to look nice and sometimes cute but not<br />ridiculous...lol So you gave me some good ideas.....<br />Happy Retirement......big life changes can be exciting and scary all at the same time.........and do require adjustments.....but mostly I have found they<br />are good......so Congrats to you, and I agree with Amy above think you are<br />probably gonna enjoy this new phase.........<br />Blessings, Nellie<br />Nellie's Cozy Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619797669030115088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459400132166733757.post-64996493565756862382017-04-27T21:53:51.573-05:002017-04-27T21:53:51.573-05:00All of the outfits you modeled look great on you. ...All of the outfits you modeled look great on you. Yes, why not more posts like this! As you know, I have been in your shoes (not the ballet flats, but sensible work shoes, lol), and left my job after 32 years. Surprisingly, it wasn't as hard as I thought. I think you are going to be so busy and so happy that once you leave, you won't look back, except with fondness!Amy at Ms. Toody Goo Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11474198992341706776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459400132166733757.post-4888794002849204472017-04-27T01:32:31.348-05:002017-04-27T01:32:31.348-05:00Katie I love all of your outfits.

I on the other hand literally live in my jammies! As for the hair it is a personal preference. I let mine go grey 5 years ago because I got tired of keeping it up and the hair color was turning it into straw.

Give yourself some time to adjust. As for your hair, only you can decide about letting it go grey. I'm trying and there are days I like it and other days I go "eek!" Lol.

I love your look in all of your pairings; especially love your summer dress, although we very short myself, I try to avoid horizontal stripes. I have short legs and am long wasted, so have to avoid mid-length skirts-but I love yours.<br />You are too young to worry about any grey hair you might eventually get.<br />Happy Easter.<br />NoreenNanaNor'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608980502430055753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459400132166733757.post-47479604934289129532017-04-15T18:04:37.888-05:002017-04-15T18:04:37.888-05:00you are just dang adorable, Katie!

Love seeing your full length shots, I'm sure I'm shorter than you. I've been having thoughts on gray hair, but in a convo with my hairdresser she told me "NO". won't work with my green eyes, and skin color. I've been going a lighter brown.though. glad she talked me out of it.
