Forgetting the Phone

No, I'm not going to disconnect from electronics. I forgot my phone on my desk last night. Since we don't have a land line, it's a good thing that I had nothing to do last night except work out and then walk the dogs with Doc. So today, I have some catching up to do - two outfits in store.


First, what I wore on Thursday:




 This satin top was purchased at Stein Mart. It's polyester, so it's easy to care for and I always get a ton of compliments, mostly about the color. The pants have been a long time favorite, but now they have to go - the elastic is all stretched out and I was yanking them up all day long. I have another pair of ivory slacks, so these are getting tossed.



I wore two necklaces, both of which are costume. I got them in Las Vegas a couple of summers ago.


On my right arm, my matching white enamel/crystal ring and bracelet set from Saks. On my left arm, just my wedding rings, which you have seen a lot lately.

Wednesday night , Doc brought me a huge bunch of flowers.



There are red roses, gerberas, white mums and one white lily and one stargazer. See him in there? He's not opened up yet. Also, I made some poached Bosc pears.


I poached them in a simple syrup of white sugar and cinnamon.



I cut the bottoms off so that they would sit flat in the pan.



And they boiled away for about an hour.


I also sauteed brussels sprouts, which we used for a topping on our salad last night.

Onto today, and onto another dress from Connected Apparel. This time, polka dots.



As you can see, I took my own picture in my office, using a timer. So not the greatest quality, but you get the idea. The dress has a cascading ruffle down the front and some ruching on the side. Very flattering and comfy.



My taupe suede wedges are from Max Studio.


I wore my mom's interchangeable necklace - this time, I used the lapis/crystal pendant. The other one is silver with crystal stations.





On my right arm, a silver mesh bracelet, a sapphire tennis bracelet, and a sapphire ring.


On my left arm, a silver/crystal costume bracelet, and a sapphire/diamond wedding set in white gold.


Also a lot of links, due to misplacing my phone. Let's go !!
