Sigh. A dog will always be .......doglike. Anyway, while I was waiting for her to decide which course of action to take, I was staring at my feet. I realized that I have had my shoes since 2007. These are Fit Flops. I paid $80 for them. I got suckered into the belief that they would perform miracles. They didn't, but they are super comfortable and look how well they have lasted.
Whenever we go anywhere that involves lots of walking, like the swap meet, I wear them. And now they have really cute ones with crystals and stuff on them. If these ever die, I am going to upgrade. They are worth the money.
So today is statement necklace day at www.notfancyjustlife.blogspot.com and www.eleganceandmommyhood.com. I love statement necklaces, so I had one all picked out. It's a costume piece by Joan Rivers that my mom got me. I have several JR pieces, and I like them all, but this one is definitely my favorite.
It's tones of blue and brown. So then I thought, "What the heck should I wear with it?" I have always worn this blue satin top and tan slacks with it. But since yesterday was MixIt Monday at www.fizzandfrosting.com, I was inspired to remix my look. I have never worn these two pieces together, but I like it.
And yes, I am a hand talker. I wave them around like crazy when I am talking,as you can see. This top is by American Rag and the skirt is Alfani. In order to accent the brown, I chose my Michael Kors sandals, which are also worth the money.
I even extended the blue/brown remixing to my jewelry. On my right hand, I have a sapphire bracelet, a diamond bracelet, and a smoky topaz ring.
On my left hand, I have a trio of sapphire bracelets, and my London Blue Topaz ring, which is also a statement making piece.
So I told two of my office mates about today's challenge, so they wore statement necklaces as well. Behold, L and V and their beautiful necklaces:
Such a fun and fashionable group we have here!!. So go on over and explore the blogs I mentioned, and myabe you will be inspired, just like us!!!
