My Entry to the Seventh Decade!!!

So, I turned the big 60 yesterday. Go me!!! Despite colonoscopies, fire alarms at work, and the stupidity of the Homeowners Association of the condo I rent out to a long term tenant, I have made it alive!!!

Let's start with last week. On Monday, this is what I wore:


This is a pearl trimmed cardigan from INC. I have had it for about 10 years, but it hasn't gotten much love lately. I am wearing it over a black INC sleeveless sheath dress.


Here's a better look at the trim. It is pretty lush, and no necklace is needed.


My crystal trimmed shoes are Badgely Mischka.



On Tuesday, I went to a postponed holiday party. I wore another INC outfit. The skirt had vertical lurex stripes, and the top has cold shoulders.



The necklaces are both costume. I bought the maroon one for another outfit, but it really matched this one well.


On Wednesday, it was time to donate another unit of blood. I wore this wrap dress. Although it looks very nice, the wrap doesn't go all the way around like the pricier ones do, so I had to be extra careful getting up and down.



I wore my black coral necklace, another gold necklace, my Hermes CDC, and some garnet bracelets.


 On Thursday, Doc was at work, so I made a rather sad attempt to prop my phone up to take a selfie. Obviously, more practice is needed. I wore a cashmere sweater dress and my favorite grey suede boots, which have also been ignored this year.


Along with this, a silver herringbone chain and a garnet cluster necklace.


The office had a little party for me - balloons on the ceiling, food from Fortune Cookie, and a gigantic chocolate cake.



Here was their gift to me - a giant bottle of vodka.


When I got home, Doc had gotten me another gigantic gift - a huge bunch of flowers.




Yesterday, we had dinner at Maggiano's, an Italian restaurant. They still have the buy one, take one home deal. I had spaghetti with meat sauce (their sauce is my all time favorite) and Doc had Beef Al Forno. We also had a Maggiano's salad - lettuce, blue cheese, red onions and creamy Italian drssing.



We took home another spaghetti with meat sauce and chicken alfredo. They also gave us a giant piece of chocolate fudge and caramel cake.


I did my hair on Saturday, and although it's darker than I wanted, it is something different for a change. Today, it's back to work - I am wearing a Tommy Hilfiger knit dress.



In the closeup, you can see that it's navy, with horizontal textured lurex stripes.  I wore three necklaces - two were sapphire and one was a KJL miniature Faberge egg.




On top, I wore my Bloomingdale's warmup jacket - it has white trim and gold hardware.


My first Birchbox of 2019 arrived on Friday.

And that's about it for this episode. I Kon Mari'd my workout tape collection this weekend. Whenever I have a few minutes, I am going to Kon Mari more of my excess of possessions and give away the stuff I don't use or wear anymore. I have so much, mostly because I like shopping and my size hasn't changed much. So some will no longer spark joy and gots to go.


See you all soon !!!
