The Beautiful Style of Jessica Fletcher

 

Good Morning Everyone,

I had a pretty good weekend. I watched a new action film called Infinite with Mark Wahlberg and it was not bad. We went and had dinner at Chic fil A on Friday and someone dumped a cup of ice in the parking lot near our car and I slipped and fell on it! I just laughed when I hit the ground. My purse somehow shifted behind me and I landed on it! It was perfect! I could not have planned it better myself. Once I recovered my family and I just laughed all the way home. I told Lauren, “well I guess I was due”. I had not slipped and fallen on ice in about 3 years. I was due”. 

I am planning my year. I’ve got to get doctor’s appointments scheduled and I am trying to meet with a dietitian this year! That is one of my goals for 2022. I am also gearing up for my first tax year for A Home for Elegance. I can’t believe it! I am going to be a nervous wreck until this is done. Goodness… 

I am also teleworking today, yay! I have not teleworked in months and I am so happy to be able to do this today. I know the rest of the week will be busy but I am going to enjoy this today. Alright now on to today’s post. 

Have any of you ever watched Murder She Wrote? I started watching it a few years ago. It was on one of those nights that I could not sleep and needed something good to watch. One thing I noticed was her clothes. Did any of you ever pay attention to the outfits she wore during those episodes?  Here are a few to jog your memory…

She looks sensational right? I wish celebrities and T.V. stars still dressed this way but unfortunately being nude has become more popular. 

 

 

I have to say I am a big fan of how she wears her scarves. I mean how chic is that? I read online that in a 1992 interview a costume designer by the name of Eilish Zebrasky was “careful” to fit Angela Lansbury in fashions that reflective her age. I would have to say that she did a wonderful job!

 

I spy a blue and white lamp…

 

 

 

I will surely be taking some tips from her fashion. In most of these photos, I would say that you can still wear these outfits today. I also love the mysteries. Murder She Wrote is just a classic television series that I am so glad to be able to still watch. It could be that I am getting older but I crave more shows like this. I always pray that the Lord can help me to find beautiful things to watch. Let me know what your favorite classic shows are. 

Have a great Monday!

    Oh no ouchy for you. Oh goodness. I’m glad you weren’t hurt and had a purse to cushion your fall. That’s never fun. I’m glad you all got a chuckle out of it? Jessica Fletcher…she was sharp wasn’t she? I remember the nights I used to sleepover my great grandma house we’d watch Murder She Wrote. I think it was on Sunday evenings. If I spent the whole week with her I’d watch Knots Landing, Falcon Crest, Dallas, Dynasty all the shows I was far too young to even begin to understand? To think this really wasn’t that long ago when how she dressed was the norm. Like you mentioned nudity is what rules. How far we’ve fallen. I dress myself the wst I loje and I’m covered. All the bits need not show?

      Lol! It was a funny fall. I’m glad it wasn’t worse either. I do remember Dallas and Dynasty and you are right. We were way too young watching those shows! But boy they were well written and the sets were so beautiful. Gosh, I miss those days sometimes. The world is a different place now.

    Happy New Year, Mrs. Shockley! I am sorry you took a fall on the ice, but I relieved that you were not hurt. I was an enormous fan of the Murder, She Wrote series as a child, and I rediscovered it on one of my streaming services last year. But now I find myself admiring Mrs. Fletcher’s wardrobe, dishes, manners, and the way she lives her life in general. She is fashionable, athletic, kind, poised, and independent — not to mention a great detective!

      Happy New Year Donya! I love Mrs. Fletcher as well. Like you, I really didn’t notice her style until recently! It’s amazing how you see things differently as you age!
