Color Crush

Today, I wore my Bar III  knit wiggle dress. The last time I wore it, I went with the safe option of my Coach tan sandals. But today, I went with my orange Alfani sandals. A friend had to get them for a wedding, and she never even wore them, since she is not used to wearing heels.

It seems like a good match to me - another way to wear these strangely colored shoes.

Here is the alternative. This is what I wore on July 5.

Two necklaces today, both costume. The shorter one is Ann Taylor, and the longer one is INC. You also get to see my fabulous, stylish exam jacket. I think that I prefer the jewelry that I wore on July 5, but that's a toss up.

On my right arm, a stretchy bracelet from INC, and an amethyst ring.

On my left arm, a tricolor gold bracelet, and my yellow gold wedding set.

This weekend, I tried a special concoction for the large brown spot on my face. Here is the before and after:

No spectacular change - it may be a bit more pale, but that may also be an optical illusion. I got all these spots from laying in the sun as a child, and all the way up to a couple of years ago, so that is about 55 years of sun exposure. They are usually spackled over by my foundation.

You know who still loves the sun?

That's right - Elli !!! And she is 100 years old (14 human) to my 57. She loves basking after her dinner.

So the kid's church had a rummage sale this weekend, so I went - my dual purpose was to score some goodies as well as help out the church. I got 3 items .

First up is this yellow polka dot dress. I don't know why you can't see the polka dots - it also looks like I had some kind of filter on the camera. Don't ask me - if I did, it was completely random.

This is a closeup of the dress. I was amazed that a F21 dress would have binding on the ruffle edges as opposed to just a hem. It's also lined.

Then I got this dress by En Focus Studio. It's that knit lace fabric that has been popular for a couple of years. This dress is also fully lined.  It's kind of a retro shape, with darts and a waistline.

Then I got this ombre crinkled top. It has cold shoulders. I know they are popular now, but I'll bet that this top was purchased by the original owner the first time the trend went around.

It was a quiet weekend - just hung out, not much to do. That's okay every once in a while. I watched the Olympics and read my library books. We didn't even go out to eat - Doc cooked both days.
