Welcome to my Blog!!!

Thanks for looking at my blog !!! First of all, what will this blog be about? Well, there will be a little of everything, with topics including fashion, hobbies, recipes and food, gardening, and just about anything else you can think of. It will usually be me who is doing the posting, but I am sure that I will have many impressive guest bloggers on here (especially after I become famous). Let's dip our little toes into the water with my first post. I think we will start with fashion, since that is what my fans have been asking for. How about we dissect today's look:

Pants = We start with some oldie but goodie Guess jeans. I can't even tell you how old they are, but at any rate, I have worn them for years and they haven't disintegrated yet. It's hard to tell from the picture, but they are corduroy, so that makes them good to wear when it's a little on the cool side. Top = this top is a chiffon tunic made by Coldwater Creek. I don't usually shop there, but they sent me a $20 coupon, so, duh. I got this to wear either as a tunic or as a swimsuit coverup. It's one size fits all, and believe me, all of us could get inside of it together. It absolutely had to be belted - when left loose, I resembled a flying squirrel. I chose a wide grey elastic belt for the job. This allows for expansion of the belly after my lunchtime chow down. Tshirt = I had originally picked out a white camisole to wear under the tunic since it's sheer. But I neglected to notice that the heat wave is over, so I had to do a game day substitution, or I would have frozen. I ended up with this long sleeve white Old Navy T shirt. It had the unintentional added bonus of having sparkly sequins on the front, so they shine through and glitter. Accessories = These really make the look. I started with a statment necklace made of moonstones:

I got this from Amazon. It was very reasonably priced, but it did come over on the slow boat from China.
Then I added a bracelet made of larimar.

Larimar is a semi-precious stone found only in the Domincan Republic. It is formed when volcanic flows combine with copper. I got this bracelet from Amazon as well, but I originally saw a beautiful one at Costco. I didn't get it at the time,because I had some remodeling to do. Boo.

The other bracelet is made of a gemstone called Seraphite. It came from the Southwest Indian Foundation. I have purchased a lot of jewelry through this company, because 80% of the costs go to helping Indian tribes. So you can spoil yourself and help someone out at the same time.They cancel each other out, just like when you eat chocolate cake and then cancel it out with Diet Coke. Well, that's it for today, fine readers (if there are any out there). I may post again tomorrow, now that I sorta have the hang of it. Trying to add pictures to the text made me say bad words and pull some of my hair out, but I'm better now. Feel free to comment on this post - at this point, I will even accept hate mail. Rosie
