I couldn't of put it better myself, as yes, I feel the same way too, about how I'm regarded, and about how I chose to do it all.<BR/><BR/>I adore the coat. And I love the simple pleasures that are induced from something like wearing a fabulous coat: the oysters and wine I have done many times. It's so nice when it's not planned too.
