Just Another Manic Monday

Well, back to work. At least I had a good weekend, with almost ZERO Ebola fussing. When we left off, Doc and I planned to cook up the Sagami Tei leftovers for lunch. He also decided to make them happy!!!
That's what grandkids do to you. Later on in the day, we went down to South Coast Plaza, a famous shopping mall. They opened a new Off Fifth Saks Fifth Avenue, so I wanted to look. They were having fabulous sales in there, mostly as a way to get customers into the new store. This was the catch of the day.
These D and G glasses retail for $399. I paid $41. When I showed them to Doc (he was in Barnes and Noble), he was amazed at how nice the lenses were. So we went back and got him a RayBan pair. I also got two pieces of costume jewelry, and I will show them to you after my outfit of the day.


This sweater is from some thrift shop at some point in my life. I have had it a very long time. The slacks are tiny maroon and white checks, and I got them at the garment district in downtown LA. They open the showrooms to sell samples a couple of times a year. I had maroon shoes on, but it looks like it may rain (please!!!) so I switched to some trusty old Payless numbers.


Now for the Saks jewelry reveal!!! On my left hand, I have my wedding rings and an awesome stretchy crystal bracelet.


It was $24. On my right hand, I have two gold and garnet or ruby bracelets, and an enamel crystal ring that was also $24.
I resurrected an old necklace for this getup. It's a costume cross, made by Monet. I wonder if they still have Monet?


Anyway, there you have it. Of course, I am wearing my Harvard jacket on top. Also, I am back to linking with sweet Patti at www.notdeadyetstyle.blogspot.com for Visible Monday. Now that I am temporarily out of the outbreak suit, I am once again Visible!!!
