I am really hoping HARD that I look graceful today - or at least, a little less dorky. I have to give a presentation at a meeting today, and I try to look the part of a professional. So what did I come up with?
An unlabeled dress that was part of the birthday stash from my MIL, topped by a Bill Blass jacket. Both pieces have metallic accents. Here's the dress without the jacket.
The top is a lined chiffon fabric with a blouson waist. The fabric is a glittery lace. It's not printed, the lace is actually overlaid on a teal blue sharkskin background. It's not lined. That's my only complaint - otherwise this dress is easy and comfy.
Here's a look at the jacket - it's a cadet blue tweed with the gold lurex woven in.
You can see the fabric better in this shot of my Joan Rivers necklace.
I waffled over my shoe decision, but ended up with my Nine West grey ankle straps from Nordstrom Rack.
I decided to accent the blue with my jewelry, so it's all sapphires all the time. On the left,
A sapphire bracelet, a gold bracelet, and a London Blue topaz ring. On the right,
One more sapphire bracelet, one more gold bracelet, and a sapphire ring.
That's it. Tonight, we go to Game 5 of the Clippers vs Spurs playoff series. It's do or die!!! But for now, onto the links. As Always on Tuesday, Amber at www.induffintely.blogspot.com has Tremendous Tuesday, and Lauren at www.stylelixir.com has Style Sessions. Then a new girl - Jess at www.elegantlydressedandstylish.com is having Turning Heads Tuesday. That's what I'm trying to do - turn heads, but in a good way. See you tomorrow, and GO CLIPS !!!!
Beautiful detailing on the dress and the added blazer is lovely. I wish now more than ever that I owned a blazer. Thanks for linking up to "Bloggers WHo Have Inspired Me."
