33. Not everyone -- you and others who can do this have a talent that I know I do not have

My mother-in -law and one of my daughters have that ability. Both could put things together that I never would have thought of and it would look perfect. I, on the other hand, often bought the pieces someone at a good store put together or bravely matched any color of skirt with a pretty white blouse. Anything more complicated happened when shopping with that daughter or a similarly talented friend. (My only skill at this was the that I could see something just did "not work".)

As to Pelosi's coat, it is gorgeous and I thought so when I first saw the picture. In retrospect, I am not surprised that it got enough attention that they will reissue it.
