Aloha Means Hello and Goodbye

One more week until I no longer have to do two jobs. One. More. Week. But now onto the Aloha part. On Sunday, our neighbors had their annual luau. This is what I wore:



This long satin muumuu came from one of those Target collaborations. I believe it was the Parker one from about 5 years ago.

Very pretty colors for a very hot day.


And you know that my hair must always follow the theme as well. I saw a Pinterest picture of a hairdo with a bird of paradise. Theirs was prettier, most likely because the model had more and better hair, but this worked.



Back to the first day of August. I wore one of my Calvin Klein cerulean outfits. I went into the store a few years back and bought about 5 items in that year's color, which was cerulean blue. They are all very nice pieces and I still like them.



On August 2, it was once again really hot. I wore a very old dress that is one of the most comfortable things I own.


I got this necklace in Kansas City when I went there - I think it was 2013.


On my left arm, a white sapphire eternity band and two gold/diamond dust bracelets.


On my right arm, a leather cuff with a mother of pearl ornament, my INC X ring, and a chalcedony ring that I got in Las Vegas.



By August 3, it had cooled down a bit, so I wore one of my Weekend Traffic dresses. That's a small company in Irvine that used to have great warehouse sales.




The hemline depicts the skyline of New York City. I have the same dress in black, but it has a Paris version of the print. The Eiffel Tower points directly up to the wrong place. But it's cute anyway.


The back of the waterfall cardi is all lace.


I haven't worn this necklace in a long time. It's rough cut agate with an amber heart pendant.


For Monday, August 6, I was so tired that I had to lay on my side. Jus' kiddin'. I couldn't figure out how to rotate the picture.


This awesome chiffon dress is from Bar III. I got it in Fort Lauderdale.



On August 7th, I wore a silk pirate top from INC that I also got in Las Vegas, but on a different trip (2016). The slacks are from Express, and since I haven't been in one of their stores for years, They must have come from a thrift shop.



They have a pretty cool brocade waistband.



I wore my mom's jade and lapis necklace.



Today, I had an early morning meeting. I wore another very old pair of pants. These are also from Express, but I bought them in the store before the year 2000. Seriously.


The sweater is Joseph A, a common brand in department stores. It is beige, black and white, and has black and clear bugle beads scattered about.



My cool faceted black plastic waterfall necklace for the win.



On my left arm, my yellow gold wedding rings and an Italian gold bracelet.


On my right arm, another Italian gold bracelet, a black/white diamond ring, and my INC X ring.


And that's all !!! Maybe something interesting will happen this week. See you all soon!!!
