Lavender is close enough to purple, so it counts, right? Anyway, today's outfit is all kinds of purple. This dress is another uncovered treasure from the closet excavation of a couple weeks ago. When I worked down in Newport Beach for a few years, there was a boutique called Chantal and Vicky. They had really cute, one of a kind dresses that they made in the room behind the shop. This dress came from there. I did have a couple others, but I don't know if they are still around. This dress actually has a tiny hole in it, but since the pattern is made of different colored abstract shapes, it's not noticeable.
I got the sweater separately, but I couldn't tell you where - the label says Fifi. Here's a closeup of the beading trim.
One thing about these kinds of dresses is that they are comfy, and I just had to pull it over my head and go. That's a good quality for work clothes to have. I once again debated between a few different pairs of shoes, and finally ended up with my Merona gold espadrilles.
For my jewelry, I went with all silver, with assorted lavender stones. I think there are a couple of things you haven't seen before. On my left hand, my amethyst, agate, and sugilite bracelet, and an amethyst ring that I bought when the synagogue of one of my friends had a crafts show.
It's made of tiny amethyst squares. On my right hand, a rose quartz ring and two thin elasticized silver bracelets with quartz beads. I got them at the same time - that's all I remember.
My necklace is a monogram - I jumped on the same bandwagon as everyone else a couple of years ago. Here it is.
Once again, since it's Wednesday, I am linking up for What I Wore Wednesday at www.thepleatedpoppy.com. Go on over and check it out.
One more thing - remember I told you that I was busy due to the Ebola scare? Well, Elli has graciously offered to help me out. One problem - this new job cuts into her 35 daily naps.
And just one more thing....
