Rainy Days and Mondays

Yesterday afternoon and last night brought us some much needed rain. It was a good excuse to watch movies on TV and do some work on Kenni's portrait. Before it started, we took the dogs for a walk. On the way home, a guy was selling roses on the corner, so Doc got me a bouquet.

 

 

I put them in a polka dot vase that I got one year with another bouquet, and then placed them at the entrance to the sun room.

I also got a less fluffy and more prickly friend when I stopped at Home Depot to get something for the painter.

My little farm is growing!!! The lady said that this little fuzzy guy will sprout a yellow flower out of his top.

Isn't he cute? So what did I wear for the tail end of the wonderful rain storm?

The outer layer is me wearing my Newport News gold and black tweed coat. When that layer is peeled off,

 

 

I am wearing an outfit that I have repeated quite a few times over the years. The blouse is my favorite ivory chiffon with the front detail from Spiegel. The knit vest has a layer of lace under the knit ruffle, and the pants are Bebe. Here's a better look at the hem detail

Now for a better look at the pants. They have a lacing detail down the outside of the bottom of the legs. In this shot, you can also see my ivory and black Speigel MaryJanes.

 I wore two necklaces with this outfit - the longer one is my Joan Rivers convertible pearl lariat with the interchangeable charms.

The shorter one is the new Claddagh that Doc got me to celebrate our anniversary.

Since the blouse has ruffles on the sleeve hems, no bracelets were needed. On my right hand, I wore an emerald and diamond ring that coordinates with the Claddagh.

On my left, my wedding set.

Except for the links, that's all I have today. First, as always on every other Monday, Patti at www.notdeadyetstyle.blogspot.com for Visible Monday. Then, Cherie at www.thestylenudge.com is hosting Shoe and Tell. Lastly, Rachelle at www.pinksole.com is doing All the Layers at How I fall.
Check out all these great blogs and get some inspiration. I will close with the progress I have made on our Kenni's portrait.

Have a fabulous Monday!!!
