Self Portraits

Since Doc started working Monday through Wednesday, I was missing a lot of outfit photo opportunities. Finally, my giant brain figured out a way to capture my costumes. Let's go back to July 30th:


I used two JFK bookends that were my mom's to prop my phone up.  It works okay - not great, but serves the purpose.



This is a dress that I got at the nice shop in Philadelphia. I think it's Carole Little, but I could be wrong. Anyway, I love this dress. It's comfy and flattering.


This next outfit is one that could be worn to work, to an event, or to church, depending on the accessories. The top is White House Black Market and the slacks are Amanda Smith.


They are both silk. The top has a matching cami underneath that is the same print, but more of a lingerie type material.


The shoes I have on in the pictures above actually fell apart when I walked out to my car, so I changed into these Skechers slides.


 I wore my two opera length necklaces that I got in Orlando a few years ago.


This silk sundress came from a very unusual location - Denver !! I guess it was in the consignment shop because there are not a lot of sundress occasions in Denver.


I wore a gold Paloma Picasso belt with this.


On top, a white collarless jacket from Theory.


Now we move to this week. On Monday, August 5th,


I wore a Vince Camuto animal print top with the pants from one of my Antthony old lady pants sets that I love so much.


This top can be worn with a lot of different colors. I wore a jade and lapis necklace with it.


On Tuesday, my gay Paree dress from weekend Traffic, and a Versace belt.




On top, a soft slubbed knit waterfall vest.



My black coral necklace was the perfect compliment.


On Wednesday, I wore some Ann Taylor slacks, a tank from Walmart, and a lace jacket with no label.



I doubled up on Hermes - belt and CDC cuff.


The heart shaped pendant was my mom's.


Yesterday, I wore a dress that came from a little boutique in Newport Beach called Chantal and Vicki.


I stopped working in Newport in 2003, so that tells you how old this dress is.


I wore a gob of garnet and opal jewelry that I got as gifts over the years.



Today, Doc took the pictures, but Pandi decided to photobomb.



This is a DVF dress with a vintage link belt.


I wore mostly gold jewelry and my London Blue Topaz ring.



She loves to sit on things, especially if they are soft, or if they are dirty clothes



I know that I am on a shopping moratorium, but I have given away a lot of stuff this year, so I used that to justify buying a new St John jacket.


The square studs are a deep pewter color.



And, since I lost a pair of Dior glasses at the fair, I got some new glasses also.


I love Dior sunglasses - the lens tint and size are perfect,


My August Birchbox came - very early this month.



Here is what I got, left to right:
1) Love of Color One and Done Shadow Stick in Empress Me - a deep rose gold shade - oooh.
2) Purlisse Watermelon Energizing Sheet Mask - scheduled for tonight.
3) Living Proof Perfect Hair Day 5 in 1 Styling Treatment
4) Dr Lipp Balm for Lips
5) Marcelle CC Cream SPF 35 Complete Correction in Golden Glow
6) amika Bushwick Beach No-Salt Wave Spray

All good things that I will use. A successful box - no blush and no lipgloss - I have too much of that stuff.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed my wardrobe adventures, and see you all soon!!!
