Look Before You Leap

There is an old German proverb : Look Before You Leap, For Snakes Among Sweet Flowers Do Creep.

So what does this have to do with my outfit today? Well, first, let's look at the overall picture.

These pants are ancient. They are 100% polyester knit with a twill texture and an elastic waistband. I don't care if knit pull on pants scream old lady. They are the ultimate in comfort, and if they still fit, and haven't disintegrated, I will still wear them. The chiffon tunic is by New York and Co, and I got it in San Antonio. The tank underneath is by Old Navy. Let's take a closer look at my belt, and then you will get the drift of this post.

This piece is made by Betsey Johnson. It can be worn either as a lariat style necklace, or as a belt. I took it off and put it on a piece of paper, so you can see both the head and the tail more clearly.

Since the little snake is gold tone, I chose to wear a gold necklace with a pale blue topaz pendant.

You can also see the little ruffle on the tank in this shot. I decided to one arm it as far as jewelry goes today. The sleeves on this top reach exactly to my wrists, so bracelets are really hard to see. I did wear two rings - on my right, a blue topaz/garnet ring, and on my left, my chalcedony ring, along with the same blue enamel cuff I wore yesterday.

These pants are another pair that is very long, so I needed a higher heel. I went with my Carlos Santana suede gladiators.

So there you have it !!! I am the snake in the grass today. Also today, I am linking up with www.stylelixir.com for Effortless Style. At least I am on the right schedule this week (so far). Go take a look, and I'll see you later!!!
