It Hurts To Be Pretty

I guess no one told Elli that beauty = pain. Yesterday it was time for her pedi-pedi, which she hates. So after a horrible experience in which she "tried to claw my eyes out", according to the manicurist, we came home. I promised her a treat if she behaved. Well, she got it anyway, since no one actually lost an eye.



That's right !!! Milk does a body good, as the old ads used to say. Elli loved it.



Today, I am wearing one of my favorite summer dresses. It's a silk shift that I bought many years ago at the Ala Moana Mall in Honolulu.



                                   It has a beautifully embellished neckline, done in beads.




                                 I wore a sapphire necklace in a sort of cascading shape.



Likewise, my arms were loaded down with sapphires. On the right, a sapphire/diamond ring and two sapphire bracelets.



On the left arm, a sapphire/diamond cocktail ring and two more bracelets.



I carried my Neiman Marcus denim and gold leather tote and wore navy/black sandals of unknown origin.


I once more attempted a selfie, with similar horrid results as the last time.



Nice. Tonight, I am going to buy a new swimsuit. Doc and I are going to Santa Barbara on vacation in a couple of weeks, and my old one has seen better days. The elastic is non-existent. So I will show you tomorrow. Yesterday, we had made to order deli sandwiches for lunch.


                                          I still have half left over for lunch today.

So let's do some Tuesday linking!!! First, Kileen at www.cuteandlittle.com has On Trend Tuesday. Then, Jess at www.elegantlydressedandstylish.com has Turning Heads Tuesday. And last, Laura at www.walkinginmemphisinhighheels.com has Trend Spin. Have a great day and have fun looking at these cute blogs!!!
