The Vernal Equinox

Today is the first day of spring, but you would never know it by our cloudy, dreary weather. It's very foggy out. I wore a safari inspired ensemble:

This color blocked knit shift is from Loft. The safari jacket, which has lurex all through it, is from Cache. My shoes are Sam and Libby. I got the dress and the shoes this weekend, but I'll get to that later. It just so happens that I have the perfect necklace for this outfit.

This really is a perfect match. On my right arm, I have my Swarovski Nirvana in Black Diamond and a copper/rhinestone link bracelet.

On my left arm, I have my creepy green ring from Nordstrom and a leather harness bracelet.

So, onto the shopping!!! On Friday, I took my mom for her doctor's appointments. From experience, I knew that there was a great consignment shop down there, so of course I buzzed by. They were having a 50% off sale. Here's what I picked up.

The Loft dress that I am wearing above.

A black knit dress with gold buckles made by Venus, which is a local Socal swimsuit and resort brand.

A gorgeous Donna Ricco sheath in black with gold lurex. Here's a better look at the fabric.

Some Sam and Libby ankle strap shoes that were new with tags.

Pretty good haul, eh? I don't get by this shop too often, because it's in South Orange County, near my mom's place. I also attended an open house for the new pulmonary rehab unit here at the hospital, and the gift was this set of Coby headphones. They are really nice.

Also this weekend, we made our grandkid's Easter baskets.

Calista got a sparkly dress, a wand and a tiara, a stuffed bunny, and some sand toys.

Joseph and Benjy got identical baskets, with candy eggs, money filled egss, Frozen items, Ninja Turtle items, and bubbles.

Preston got money eggs, candy eggs, jelly beans, a chocolate bunny, some Paws Patrol items, a potato gun, some Star Wars items, and a plastic German shepherd dog.


The g-kids are getting bigger, so we only have a few more fun years to give Easter baskets. Before we link, here's a cute springtime picture of my little Elli.

As you can see, she is all head and ears.

On Friday, Dawn Lucy of www.fashionshouldbefun.com had Fin Fashion Friday, so I will catch up. Today, Deb from www.elegantlyfashionable.com has Classy Monday, and Rachelle has How I Fall over at www.pinksole.com. And finally, Cherie at www.stylenudge.com has Shoe and Tell.

I hope you had a good weekend, and stay tuned!!!
