The Waiting Game

Well, I was almost at the plastic surgeon's office yesterday, and I got a call that he had gone home sick. So I rescheduled to next Tuesday. Pictures of gore will have to wait until then.

Anyway, what did I wear today?

This is a sheer blouse by Ro and De, and peach jeans by AG. The shoulders of the blouse are covered in lace.

I wore three necklaces again - the top one is INC, the middle one is a rose gold locket, and the bottom one is a French lace chain with a Black Hills pendant. The bottom two belonged to my mom.

Here is a closeup of the INC necklace.

On my right arm, an INC stretch bracelet, and a smoky topaz ring.

On my left arm, another INC bracelet and my yellow gold wedding set.

We are going to the Orange County Fair to see Earth Wind and Fire tomorrow night, so I will take lots of pictures.

Have a great Friday !!!

Too Much Soy Sauce

Ugh. I had sushi for lunch yesterday and used about a gallon of soy sauce on it. I was guzzling water all night long, and now I am really puffy. Oh well, it was worth it.

So on Tuesday night, I decided to stop at Nordstrom Rack before I went home, because it was still too hot to workout. I found a cool pair of Ivanka Trump shoes on sale for $30, down from $150. Can't beat that!!

I also spied a pair of J Simp shoes for $20, down from $79. I figured I could wear one pair this summer and one pair next summer.

But when I got to the register, credit card smoking away in my hand, I was charged $0.02 for both. That's right - two CENTS. It turns out that once shoes are 80% off, but still on the rack, they are removed to be sent out to a jobber for off price sale. It you happen to stumble across them before they are removed, they cost $0.01 apiece. Timing is everything. There was an employee back there scanning and rearranging shoes, but I didn't pay any attention to him. Anyway, YAY !!!

So anyway, what did I wear yesterday for my sushi extravaganza?

This is a scuba skirt by Sharagano and a knit top with a draped chiffon panel from One World. I got them at Stein Mart. With them, I wore orange shoes that a friend gave me. She got them for a wedding but never wore them, since the heels were too high.

I wore my Joan Rivers convertible pin/pendant with coral and turquoise colored inserts.

On my right arm, an amethyst  ring from Doc, and two of my mom's bracelets. One is pink coral from Maui Divers and one is turquoise and tanzanite.

On my left arm, my yellow gold wedding set and two enamel bangles from Charming Charlie.

So what about today?  I committed the ultimate fashion sin - I wore the same top two days in a row, since all I did yesterday was sit in air conditioned meetings and didn't sweat.
 Of course, I wore the new Ivanka Trump shoes.

I wore it with old tan pants and a Sigrid Olsen sweater. Here's a closeup of the fine, wavy knit.

Two necklaces again !! The first is a multicolored pearl torsade. The longer one is herringbone silver with a Cookie Lee pendant.

On my right arm, my Swarovksi Nirvana in Black Diamond, and my Swarovski Infinity bracelet.

On my left arm, two silver bracelets, and an adventurine ring.

And that's about it. Tonight, I go to the plastic surgeon's office for some touch ups. Gory pix to come!!

My Garden Window Is Not The Garden of Eden

I have a garden window in my kitchen, and I have a bunch of bunny statues and tsotchkes in there. Yesterday, some "joker" rearranged all my bunnies.

They are all in a conga line, except for the hare in the background. Doc said the hare didn't want to play, he's just a voyeur.

My, it must be nice to have the time to do this. I must confess, I used to have a CFO who had all these sheep statues, and I rearranged his sheep a number of times.

Apart from these shenanigans, what am I wearing today?

This is a Saks Fifth Avenue Black dress that I got in Orlando one time at the outlet mall there.

With it, I wore the necklace and earring set that I got at the Taste of Charlotte.

On my right arm, my veiny boulder ring from Nordstrom and a leather/crystal cuff that I got in Baltimore.

On my left arm, my Swarovski Nirvana, and the matching Infinity cuff. They match the necklace exactly.

Have a great day and watch out for dancing bunnies!!

Isaac Newton - Look Out !!

Yesterday, Doc made himself a slingshot that can shoot arrows, so we had to try it out !!!

Doc and Elli discussed the logistics of the shooting range.

Elli surveyed the land for obstructions and distance.

Here is the shooting range. It's located behind the Target near our house.

Doc made the part that holds the arrow on the slingshot. He used PVC pipe.

He loaded it up.

Then he drew back and aimed.

The Great White Hunter. Also the Little Black Chihuahua.

Onto me. What am I wearing today?

This ivory knit dress is made by Magaschoni. The tweed jacket is by Liz Claiborne.

I doubled up on Joan Rivers convertible necklaces again. This time, I went with a coral cabochon and a pink hued pearl for the interchangeable gemstones. You can also see the trim on the jacket here.

On my right arm, a crystal/bead bracelet from Neiman Marcus, and a South Sea pearl ring.

On my left arm, my yellow gold wedding set, an opal bracelet, and a coral bracelet from Maui Divers.

Have a great day !!! (for a Monday :(

Little Miss Mango

I am wearing two old items in a new way today. One is a knit peasant style top made by Element 6. I usually wear it with a white bottom. But today, I combined it with a Jones New York skirt in........
MANGO !!!

I like this bright combo, especially for summer. You can see the print on the top in the necklace shot below - it's red, orange, hot pink and white.

And the two necklaces - the shorter one is costume, and the longer one is a gold herringbone with a costume pendant that was part of one of my Mom's Joan Rivers pieces.

On my right arm, a diamond anniversary type ring, a gold bracelet, and a lab created emerald tennis bracelet.

On my left arm, my yellow gold wedding set and two gold bracelets.

And let's go for the weekend!!! I am ready - more than ready, actually. But first, let's link - www.poshclassymom.com, www.fashionshouldbefun.com, www.stylelixir.com, www.colorandgrace.com, www.theclosetbychristie.com, and www.stylediarybyosy.com.

An Aloha from the Past

It's really hot here in SoCal again. I'm fortunate that I work in an air-conditioned environment, but I do have to go outside occasionally. And since we live at the beach, we only need AC about twice a year, so we don't have it at home. Anyway, all this boils down to the fact that I needed a cool and comfy look for today.

I got this embellished navy shift dress in Hawaii at some point in the distant past.  It is made of cotton with bugle bead trim at the notched neckline and at the hem. It's just as comfy as a muumuu.

Here's a look at the trim, and at my two necklaces. The shorter one is lapis and the longer one is blue topaz.

On my left arm, my sapphire/diamond band, a round solitaire, a sapphire tennis bracelet, and a silver bracelet.

On my right arm, a London Blue Topaz ring,  a silver mesh bracelet with blue topaz, and a silver bracelet made of rings.

Doc brought me roses yesterday. I brought him chocolate chip cookies. See Elli lurking in the bottom left with her little red heart covered dress?

Another view of the roses.

Today, along with my regular Thursday links , www.highlatitudestyle.com and www.happinessatmidlife.com, we have two new ones : www.mixmatchfashion.com and www.shelbeeontheedge.com

Have a great day, and if you are in SoCal, stay cool out there!!!
