Nothing is Black and White

There is a grey area to every story. Well, today, my entire story is grey.





This is a dress that my MIL, Mimi, gave me to take to Orlando in May. And it worked out perfectly for that humid weather. Today, I topped this comfy number with a knit jacket from 6 degrees. Here is the dress without the jacket.


Now let's get a better look at the jacket. Here is a front view. It has long sleeves and lace insets from the shoulder down to the empire waist. Then it has a waterfall front.




The back also has bands of lace, at the yoke and in a waist inset. It's soft jersey. The dress is more of a slinky type polyester. The ruffles on the neck of the dress are really voluminous - I had a statement necklace out originally, but it was too much. I changed to a hematite number.


On my right arm, I have a costume bangle that I got from Ebay, and a mother of pearl "spaceship" ring.


On my left arm, a costume silver toned bracelet with crystals, my eternity band, and a small ring with 3 diamonds. The center stone has a very slight lavender tint.


I haven't worn these shoes in a while. I got them at Nordstrom, and the brand is Preview International.


Since my outfit is composed of the most neutral of shades, I had some fun with my handbags. To carry, I used my new grey faux snakeskin clutch.


Then, to carry my lunch, my laptop, and other large items, I broke out an adorable felt tote bag that has a Scottie dog motif on the front and back, done in fuchsia.




He's even wagging his tail!!! Wanna know who wasn't wagging their tail yesterday? Our little Elli, who found a nice cool spot on the hardwood floor in the hallway, which is probably the darkest part of our house.
