At least, this is how I do it in Huntington Beach. This is what I saw out my office window today.
We have been endlessly warned that this huge storm was coming, so I prepared myself with my Newport News coat and my Target umbrella.
Underneath, I have on a very comfy outfit, made from items that I have had for a long time. It didn't photograph well. Doc said I looked like a "sexy ninja". Har.
We'll show some details. The pants are ponte knit from Express, the gold lurex tank is Banana Republic, and the sweater cardi is INC. Let's look at the sweater.
The body is smooth black knit, and it has satin panels along side the zipper. It has a mandarin collar that is embroidered in gold and red. Then, I wore a pair of Speigel boots that I have also had for a long time. I pretty much only wear them when it rains. They are black suede with silver and gold embroidery.
For my necklace, what could be better than my black coral ?
You can see the satin panels and the tank better in this shot. When I leave work, I will wear my hat, because it is supposed to POUR this afternoon, and I won't care if I get hat head.
The flower is red patent leather. For my arms, I played up the red and gold. On the left, my wedding rings and a stretchy crystal bracelet from Saks.
I don't have a horrible disease - that pattern you see on my wrist is from my coat squishing my wrist down. On my right, a ruby cocktail ring, a ruby bracelet, a diamond tennis bracelet, and a diamond dust/gold bracelet.
