Cinco de Mayo, Part Dos

Well, it's Cinco de Mayo again. All the Mexican restaurants are gearing up for their biggest day of the year. And the Sobriety checkpoints are being erected. Here in Huntington Beach, we have a lot of bars and restaurants, when combined with the beach, make us a most attractive venue for drunken carousing. For myself, I will be having a tennis lesson tonight, then spending the remainder with my little Mexican sweetheart.

She's all ready to party. Arriba!!! Andele !!!

And.... today marks the one year anniversary of The World Through Rosie Colored Glasses. Last year, we were having a major heat wave. Here was Elli, one year ago:

Cooling her jets in the pool. I will be publishing a retrospective post later this week, after I have had time to reflect. But for now, back to business. What am I wearing today?

This skirt is by Loft, and the two sweaters are both Joseph A, although they were purchased on different locations, at different stores. Let's get a better look at this metallic pencil skirt.

It's a very thick metallic brocade, and fully lined. Very comfy. Let's look at the white tank.

It has a vertical cascade of different faceted stones. None of the stones are sequins. I am a little nervous about laundering this tank, because the stones don't seem very secure. We shall see. Now for the cardi:

All of these embellishments are bronze toned, and once again, no sequins. These seem much more securely attached to the sweater, but this is a hand wash item as well. I didn't need a necklace or a belt with this getup, since it's all sparkly on it's own. But on my right hand,

My Swarovski Nirvana in Black Diamond, and my Platinum Cuff. On my left hand,

A gold/diamond dust bangle and a white enamel/crystal ring. I am wearing my black and gold David Aaron shoes.

So that's it for today, except for the links!!! First, Lauren at www.stylelixir.com has Style Sessions. Then, Laura at www.walkinginmemphisinhighheels.com hosts Trend Spin. Both of these ladies are regulars for me. Lastly, a blog that's kind of new to me, Saumya at www.myriadmusings.net has Style Swap Tuesday.

So have a magnifico Cinco de Mayo, and stay safe!!!!
