2016 Will End With Much Needed Rain

So it rained all day today. California is definitely no longer in a drought, but it will take a couple of good years before it's back to normal. But that didn't stop me from doing a little shopping. I got four different workout tapes, but I will describe them later, because I forgot to take a picture of them. We got a fruitcake at Big Lots the day after Christmas, and it was so good that we snarfed it up. So that was my first stop:


 
Then I went to the mall to get the workout tapes at Book Off. I heard that the mall had some stores that were going to close, It was a bit of a ghost town, but it was only 10AM on a Friday. I stopped at the mall Post Office, and across the way, I saw a DSW, having a giant sale. So I got the two pair of shoes below for around $7 each.

First up, Ivory reptile textured leather and black suede made by Chinese Laundry. The heels are pretty high.




Then, a pair that I will use next spring and summer. They are made by Enzo Angiolini, which is a brand I like.



They are smooth pale tan leather, with a perforated pattern on the front strap.


After that, I went to the grocery store and WalMart. Nothing exciting planned for today or tomorrow. But this is what I wore to work yesterday.



This heavy weight sweater dress was purchased in Washington, DC, at a Marshalls near the White House. Yesterday, a friend wanted to see the brand. It is Jealous Tomato. I 'm not kidding. But it is a nice dress. I wore a cashmere turtleneck underneath, and my Nine West Mary Jane shoes.




I wore one of the necklace and earring sets that I got at the Taste of Charlotte last June. It is fresh water pearls, round crystals, and a topaz crystal drop.




On my right arm, My Swarovski duo - the Nirvana ring in Black Diamond, and the Infinity bracelet.



On my left arm, a leather and crystal bracelet that I got in Baltimore, and a silver ring with a mabe pearl.



Now for the biggest surprise - my Christmas present to myself. After the past year, and everything that happened, both professionally and personally, I decided I needed a treat. So I got a Louis Vuitton Caviar bag in the light tan/ grey color.



I didn't get the shoulder strap, but that can be added later. I have only carried it once, due to the rain.
