Opposites Attract

My outfits of the last two days could probably not be any different. I didn't like what I wore yesterday, so this dress is going into the donate bag.


Even though it is fully lined, it kept creeping up. Yanking is not my favorite wardrobe activity. The Clio sweater, however, stays to be worn another day.


On my right arm, a silver bangle and a garnet ring from Colleen Lopez.



On my left arm, a garnet/opal bracelet that my mom gave me for my 40th, and the matching all garnet bracelet that she left me in her estate. I wore them with my pear solitaire and a ruby band.


My necklace was also a gift from my mom for my 50th. When she died, she had the exact same garnet blossom, so I gave it to my niece as a remembrance.

Onto today - a feminine, and more importantly, comfortable look. These items will not be tossed in the Great Purge of 2017. Everything uncomfortable automatically gets tossed into the donate bag.


This is a knit skirt from Poleci and an eyelash lace top from Ann Taylor.


I took a closeup of the print on the skirt - it has pink and tan, so I thought it would be a nice combination with the top, and not too much of an exact match.



Once again, I wore two necklaces that were my mom's. The shorter one is diamond and rose gold.



The longer one is actually a locket that I gave her one Mother's Day. It's also rose gold, but the stones are crystals.


I wore two INC costume bracelets that I got in Las Vegas one year - one for each arm.



And my veiney boulder ring from Nordstrom finishes me up for the day.



As always on a Friday, a ton of links:

Have a great weekend - I am going shopping for a new washer and dryer. Our old set lasted over 18 years, so we are definitely due for new ones !!!

  1. Rosie, I really like both outfits and your necklaces are so gorgeous! I hear you though on uncomfortable clothes. It doesn't matter how pretty they look, if you are constantly having to tug and pull at them, they lose some of their prettiness! Thanks so much for joining my #SpreadTheKindness link up!

    P.S. Keep so of the photos of the uncomfortable pieces to share at our Bad Buy Book Series! September's theme is bad buy skirts.
