The Color of the Rose, and the Color of Passion

We'll start today with the meaning of this title. I am, of course, wearing red.


I wanted to squeeze in one more wearing of this beautiful Calvin Klein dress before it gets dry cleaned and packed away for the summer. I also brought my Escada blazer to wear on top in case I need it. Of course, I wore my David Aaron shoes.




For a necklace, Joan Rivers to the rescue.



Here's a better look at the pendants that are interchangeable on this pearl strand. It also has a gold neck ring that any of the charms can be strung on.



On my right arm, I have a stretchy crystal bracelet from Saks, and an emerald and diamond ring.



On my left, my newly repaired wedding set, a gold bracelet, and a diamond tennis bracelet.


The tennis bracelet was also "repaired". They charged me $120, and they didn't replace the safety clasp.


That would be the long clasp on the bottom. It still opens up on it's own, making me nervous about losing a 7 carat bracelet. When I picked it up, the owner's mom was keeping shop, and she wasn't budging - she was pretty insistent that it was fine. So I left, and called the owner later. I explained that the clasp was still loose, and for $120 it should be secure. I was looking at taking it somewhere else and paying AGAIN to get it fixed. So he said to bring it back and he will do it for free. Not for free, my friend, I already paid $120. Anyway, I will bring it back, and I won't be going back there again. It's kind of like the shoe repair, who kept changing his price when I questioned it.

So onto last night. This was the scene when I got home:



I donated blood again yesterday. I didn't feel like working out, and they told me not to. I got another T shirt for my precious blood.




SO we just walked the dogs, and then I did some grocery shopping. I still got 15,598 steps in. I bought a bunch of fruit. Even with the horrible drought, the fruit is inexpensive and tasty.



I ate way too many grapes. They were scrumptious. So let's link!!! Of course, on Thursday, we have Alice from www.happinessatmidlife.com for Throwback Thursday. Then Tara at www.mixmatchfashion.com hosts What I Wore to Work. Lastly, I missed Liz yesterday for Style Me Wednesday at www.shoppingnmycloset.com, so I'm joining in today. Have a great day!!
