Falling into Spring with a Spring in my Step

I'll bet you are asking yourself, "What in the heck is she talking about now?". Well, I will tell you. It's my outfit!! (Duh) Even though we are well into spring, I have chosen to sport fall colors. And just to mess with you even more than usual, I'm going to start with the closeups, and then segue into the whole body shot. Here's a teaser:


This is the waistband of my skirt. You will notice that it has a ribbon tie belt that is sewn down, so it doesn't wiggle or move around. I hate it when my belt has twisted backwards or off to the side. The ribbon is also embellished with little seed beads and amber gems. It is made by Nine West. I guess they don't just make shoes.


Speaking of shoes, here are the ones I am wearing today. They are suede wedges made by Pour La Victoire. I got them at Saks. They are very comfy for a luxury brand shoe. I would say that they are taupe. If you notice the little clip at the front, that is from a set of 5 different pairs that my mom gave me probably 25 years ago. I used to wear them alot on black suede pumps, but I kinda forgot about them until I was digging around in my dresser last night. So I whipped them out and clipped them onto my shoes.

Now onto my necklace. It's a set that was a necklace and bracelet (that you can see in just a minute here, so be patient). It's double stranded brown pearls with a center piece of copper faceted beads. Then there are two rhinestone stations, just to up the bling quotient. I got the set at Stein Mart.


Oh, you devils!!! You made me give you another sneak peek. (typo = sneak peck). Here is my sweater and camisole. So, I bet you are dying to see that bracelet:


Thar she blows!!! Notice that the bracelet is triple stranded and the stations are bigger. The ring is just some junky piece of plastic that I like (because I am junky myself sometimes, well, usually). And what about my right hand?


The ring is interesting. It's made by Arielle, and I got it at Nordstrom. It almost looks like a faceted boulder - it's pale tan with little black veins running through it. The bracelets are from a random store in Artesia, where we sometimes go to eat DEELISH Indian buffet.

Now for the big reveal !!!! Here's the entire outfit.


So, the skirt is Nine West, the tan cardigan is Joseph A, and God only knows where I got the cami. Actually, God probably does know. But He keeps most of my deepest, darkest secrets. Anyway, enjoy your day, and I will be posting some things from around Casa De Holtzman over the long weekend. Hasta next posta!!!
