The Tenth Commandment

It says, more or less, that you shall not covet thy neighbor's goods. Well, Doc was coveting one of my goods - the key holder by the back door.

He wanted one just like it for the home office. So I did him one better - I transposed it to his office.






And thar she blows!!! Well, that left me with no where to hang my keys and note pads at the back door. So I bought a couple of things at Hobby Lobby to fill the void (and cover the holes left by the screws).



                      A metal plaque with a sweet romantic saying on it for me and Doc.



                                                       A key shaped iron key holder.


                                    A metal mesh basket to hold the note pads and pens.

                               So how does it look now? Pretty good, if I do say so myself.




It's good to share - now everyone is happy. There was a piece on the news today about "porch thieves". These are people who pretend to be handing out fliers and instead, steal packages from porches. I shop on line a lot, because it's faster and easier, and shipping is usually free. So I was expecting one more box from Saks. It arrived, so now there will be nothing to steal from my porch.


Saks was having a pre-season boot sale, and I needed some plain black boots. The pair I have is ruined . I have already had them repaired once.




These are black suede with a 4 inch heel and some nice gold detailing on the heel. I like them.
So onto today. It's still hotter than heaven, so I am wearing the closest thing to a muumuu as I can.



I hate this outfit. The Ann Taylor dress gets all wrinkly, and the Banana Republic belt is all wrong. Oh well, can't win them all. I'll just wear my exam jacket when I leave my office. I wore my favorite weird green resin necklace with this disaster.


   On my right arm, I am wearing a green cloisonne bracelet and a cool ring that I got at Nordstrom.

                 On my left arm, an INC costume stretchy cuff and my malachite ring.



I wore my Via Spiga green witch shoes and carried the same Neiman Marcus bag as yesterday.



           Yesterday, when Doc was leaving for work, Elli kept hovering by his bag and laptop.


                                In this next picture, she looks exactly like a gargoyle.


So let's link this horrid mess of a dress to some of my blogging buddies. Dawn Lucy at www.fashionshouldbefun.com has Fun Fashion Friday. Then, Christie at www.theclosetbychristie.com has Friday Favorites. Lastly, Lauren at www.stylelixir.com has Fab Favorites. Sheesh - this dress is not fun, fab, or a favorite. It's getting donated. Have a great weekend, and I'll see you all later!!!
