But It's Not A Costume!!!

I knew it would happen. I was certain that someone yesterday would think I was wearing a costume. All day long, my friends at work commented on my dress. But no one uttered the dreaded "c" word. Then, as I was walking across campus to my car, I ran into a lady and her husband hobbling toward the ER. She looked at me and said "What a cute costume!!!" I told her it wasn't a costume, but I was laughing about it. She said that she thought I was a sexy witch or something. HAHHHHAAA.

Anyway, onto today. I haven't worn this dress in quite a while. It's made by Kenzie. The metallic jacket is by American Rag.

The jacket has a drawstring waist and a hood. The dress is thick ponte type knit, and has a big bow detail at the waist.

As you can see, I chose dark grey tights to go along with the dress. I read yesterday that grey is considered a conservative, boring color. So I livened it up by adding purple accents. On my left arm, I have a silver bracelet, an amethyst bracelet, and a darker amethyst ring. On my right arm, I have a tanzanite ring and a bracelet of amethyst, sugilite and agate.

However, I went back to grey for my necklace. It's a hematite piece that I have had for some time.

But the real kicker is the shoes I am wearing. I have had them for a long time, but I don't wear them too often. The reason is because they are sling backs, and I have a hard time with slingbacks staying on my feet. They are by Paloma, an Italian brand. They are lavender suede, with a darker purple patent heel, and detail of little circles in red and metallic khaki on the top. The slingback strap is metallic khaki, and the buckle is purple. They look awesome - let's hope they stay on for most of the day.

Since I went on vacation, the number of visits per day to my blog has been very erratic. I have also been posting in a hurry, because I am the site coordinator for our Ebola preparedness. Anyway, since that has died down a little, today I am linking with 3 different blogs to get some exposure. They are www.treasuretromp.com, www.happinessatmidlife.com, and www.lovelyladyjb.blogspot.com. All of these blogs are new to me, so you can bet that I will be having some fun looking at them!!! And as a final parting picture, here's my lunch from yesterday. I know it's not fascinating, but it sure is pretty!!!
