The Tax Man Cometh

I am going to beat that dead horse. We got our taxes back from the CPA yesterday. Our hope was that we would get enough back to cover the CPA bill of $2700. Well, we are getting that plus a bit more, so we have dodged the bullet yet again. See you next year, IRS.

Yesterday, my April Birchbox came. It was so pretty!!!

The design is from Rifle Paper Co. I want to use this box for storing makeup, etc. Inside, it had 5 treats.

From left to right:
1) Harvey Prince Yogini perfume. It is mainly grapefruit and star jasmine. I love it. I prefer light and fruity fragrances.
2) Jouer tint (the tiny black square). It's a two in one pigment for lips and cheeks.
3) Darphin Hydraskin Intensive Skin Hydrating Serum .
4) Beaver Professional Nutritive Shampoo and Conditioner - I used this last night, and like all nice salon products, it left my fine hair soft and shiny.

I also had my second tennis class last night. There was a mishmash of students from all different classes. Some of the regulars were missing (doing their taxes) and some were doing make up class from Monday. There were ten of us. It was really fun, as usual.


Onto the duds. I shopped my closet like a good girl and remixed some very old stuff.

The charcoal jacket is the top of a suit by Ann Taylor. The burgundy pants are by Cacao (never heard of them, but these are nice pants, all lined) , the button down is Facconable, and the sequined shell is also Ann Taylor. Here's a peek without the jacket.

I have been watching Hart to Hart on Cozi TV on Monday nights. It's a detective show from the 80s. Stefanie Powers plays Jennifer Hart, and she almost always wears suits. So I attempted to copy her.

For my shoes, I went with my awesome Guess multicolor Mary Janes.

I am wearing the pair on the left. The other pair is their cousin. For my necklace and earrings, the garnet set that my mom gave me for one birthday.

I didn't wear bracelets, since the shirt has French cuffs. But I did wear a fire opal on the left, and a tanzanite on the right.

Let's link!!! More blog buddies - Tameka at www.pastriespumpsandpi.blogspot.com is hosting What I Wore Wednesdays. She's so pretty. Then, lovely Liz at www.shoppingmycloset.com hosts Style Me Wednesday. And, Lindsey at www.thepleatedpoppy.com is having What I Wore.
