A Wild and Wooly Weekend

We will start with the wooly. I hope it's spelled right - it looked weird either way. Recall that Nordstrom Rack had a 25% Easter sale. I got this wooly grey stole. It will probably be too warm to wear it until next year, but now I will have something to look forward to :).



I also got a necklace that has faceted black cabochons surrounded by tiny grey beads.



Then I got a pair of Nine West shoes in ........wait.....wait.....grey!!!



I must have had something grey stuck in my brain. But I did get a pair of TAN comfort shoes for work, made by Serene.




That about does it for Good Friday bargain shopping. Onto the wild. We celebrated Easter with our grandkids on Saturday, since they had church activities all day Sunday. First, here's Preston after his Easter egg hunt.



Looks like he did well. Then, here's Joseph holding something from his basket.



Benjamin got the same monkey in his basket, only brown instead of purple.



I didn't get a picture of little Calista. She was quite upset because her mommy was fixing her hair in pigtails, and she doesn't like that, even though it looks super cute when it's done.  So we let the boys take Elli for a walk while Calista chilled out.



We also climbed trees with them (at least I did) and played Red Light Green Light.



A wonderful time was had by all, even Elli.

On Sunday, I took my mom to church. I took the opportunity to wear the full St John suit.



Here's a better look at the jacket and it's cool buttons.


I wore my emerald necklace for a touch o' the blarney.



On my left hand, my wedding set and a stretch crystal bracelet.



On my right hand, an enamel/crystal ring and a few gold bracelets.



 I wore my INC black suede studded pumps.



I carried my vintage Cartier Panthere purse.



When I got home from that delightful experience ( sarcasm intended - my mom's church is a veritable goldmine of angry little people in walkers), Doc and I went to Gong's Chinese restaurant for lunch. It was packed, like all Chinese restaurants on holidays. It was deelish, and Gong was happy to see us. It's his 35th anniversary in the chow mein biz.

Onto today. I am wearing the muumuu dress I got last week or the week before. I wore a denim jacket from Nordstrom on top.



Here's the dress without the jacket.





My new necklace went perfectly - I sorta had this dress in mind when I selected it.



Also, my new grey Nine West shoes seemed to be perfect.



On my left arm, a stretchy plastic bracelet and my enamel/crystal ring. I like how the chevrons echo the dress.


On my right hand, another stretchy plastic bracelet and a sapphire ring.



Whew. All that's left are the all important links!!! Of course, Patti at www.notdeadyetstyle.com is hosting Visible Monday. Then, lovely Rachelle at www.pinksole.com is having How I Spring. I'll bet there are lots of Easter outfits there!!! And finally, Rhea at www.rheaetcetera.com is having Style to Inspire - and she does!!! Have a great day, and sorry I talked so much today !!!
