The Big Banana

Get your minds out of the gutter. I am talking about me. My new jacket is best described as banana colored. It's made by Talbots, and I got it at the Assistance League sale, along with the pants. They are made by Ellen Tracy - both are nice brands. That was a good sale.

It is warm in the office today, and it was yesterday. So I knew that I would maybe have to ditch my jacket at some point. I debated (as I was trying to fall asleep) if I should wear a belt. Well, once I got dressed, I noticed that these pants have no belt loops, so once again, the problem solved itself. Here's how it looks without the jacket.

See the necklace I am wearing? It has a secret. I got it at Nordstrom, many years ago. It's very sparkly, and is made of Swarovski crystals, but it isn't made by that brand. Here's a closeup of the front.

Now for the secret. The pin has a regular pin fastening, a hasp for putting it on a chain, and an alligator clasp to put it in your hair. I have never done that, because it's too heavy, seeing how I only have about 8 hairs total.

Cool, eh? Now for the wings. On the left, I have a thin gold bangle with diamond dust, and a smoky topaz ring. On the right, another gold bangle, and my Swarovski Black Diamond Nirvana. Looky looky.

And last, but NEVER least, my shoes. I have the same exact pair in tones of black, burgundy and silver. They are made by my favorite brand, Nine West. A few months ago, I got an email from a company called Thred Up. It's an online consignment shop, and they sent me a $10 gift card. When I saw the same Nine West pair in a brown colorway in my size, I freaked. Then I bought. And now, I wear:

The definition of fabulous, aren't they? Today, I am linking up with another blog, www.cuteandlittle.com. This pretty girl, from Dallas, hosts a linkup called The Color Brigade. And if being dressed like a big banana is not right down that alley, then nothing is. So go take a look at her site. It's another really fun one!!!
