Bell Bottom Blues

These pants are making me sad. Not because they are ugly, but because I made a hole in them with one of my rings. Boo hoo hoo -I have had them for so long, and now I fear I have killed them. But that didn't stop me from taking them for one last spin. They are made by Express. The T shirt is from Old Navy, and the cardigan from Merona. All three items are from different stores, but they match perfectly. Here is a view with and without the sweater.



This colorful outfit left a lot of room to play with my jewelry, but I ended up wearing things yu have already seen. On my left hand, my Vernier goldtone/crystal watch, and my London Blue topaz ring.
On my right hand, three gold/sapphire/diamond bracelets and a malachite ring that I got in Vegas last month.

I hadn't undone the Joan Rivers necklace from last week. When I decided to wear it, it just turned out that the colors looked great with today's outfit. In this shot, you can also see the embellishment on the T shirt. When I wear my sweater, it gets covered up.

So you may have noticed the row of mugs on the windowsill behind me in my office. They were all gifts at some point or another. Here they are:

On the left, we have a Girls Love Shoes mug that I received from a friend. In the middle, we have a mug from Project MAPP - this was an epidemiology research project with University of California, Irvine, that I participated in. When the two year study was over, the university sent me a list of gifts from which I could choose, to thank me for pariticipating. Guess what I picked?

Wanna make a nerd happy? Give her a book!!!! And last but not least, on the right is the piece de resistance - my Bristol Stool Chart mug that my coworker got me as a joke. Believe it or not, the appearance of one's stool yields many clues as to the nature of their ailment. The choices are quite descriptive.

This mug remains unused and pristine.
And for a final tease, look what I got for Elli yesterday.

Later this week, you will get to see her in it!!!

And since it's Thursday, I am once again linnking up with Erin from www.simplyjustlovelyblog.com for Working Girl Style. Take a peek at all of us stylish working ladies!!
