The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia

But...... it was actually Huntington Beach. And only half of the lights went out. Last night, we had a half-blackout. So the electrician who redid our system a few years ago is coming by tonight to save us. We are so lame when it comes to ANYTHING going wrong at the house. Oh well, as Doc says , "We are helping support our friend's small businesses." That's a good thing.

Speaking of blackouts:




I had to get ready for work in semi-darkness, so at least I have an excuse for my appearance. I had one outfit all picked out, but it just looked enormous on me, so I changed into the ever popular LBD.
As you can see by the pix below, it has lacy sleeves, and also a lacy skirt portion. Otherwise, it's just a plain shift with a waist seam and some pleats front and back.





I did once again bust into my jewelry collection to get three gemstone necklaces to liven up the dress. The top is amethyst, the middle is a pearl cluster, and the bottom is citrine.



All black also gave me a chance to bust out my new Collier de Chien bracelet. I bought it as a treat with some of my inheritance. I was saving it for fall, but I needed a mental boost this morning, so here you have it.


Let's link, and then forget this stressful non-event. Today we have www.highlatitudestyle.com, www.happinessatmidlife.com and www.eleganceandmommyhood.blogspot.com


And one final note : Let there be light !!!
