Black and Blue and Pink All Over

And for once, it's not a grody bruise - it's my two outfits !!! First, on Tuesday, I did the black and blue thing.

This is an INC stretch pencil skirt, combined with an Apt 9 chiffon peasant blouse.  I really liked this combo - it was comfy and I was surprised, because the pencil skirt is unlined, and I remember it being filled with static when I wore it with tights.

Looks like I'm still counting my feet.

I wore a ton of necklaces. The shortest one is a silver/onyx interchangeable cable that was my mom's. The longest one is actually a pewter belt that I got at the Charlotte Premium Outlets when I was in North Carolina in June. The middle three are attached to the black tank that I wore underneath the chiffon top.

On my right arm, a silver bracelet with a toggle closure and a silver/ turquoise ring.

On my left arm, a sapphire/diamond wedding set, a diamond tennis bracelet, and two fine silver chain bracelets.

Onto today - this time, it's blue and hot pink.

I look like Tummy McGut in these pictures. It's actually not that bad. I forgot to suck it in. This is a Charter Club skirt (fully lined, with pockets) and an INC top.

The top has the silver toned bar attached to it. Above the bar, I wore a silver necklace with a very fancy weave and a toggle. Below the bar, a herringbone silver necklace.

On my right arm, a Kenneth Cole costume ring and two diamond tennis bracelets.

Here's a closeup - one of the bracelets is the typical round brilliant cut, while the other is round, alternating with emerald cut. Both are white gold - they were my mom's and her wedding set was platinum.

On my left arm, the same wedding rings as yesterday, along with the bracelet that matches the shortest necklace.


I never showed you guys my new haircut yet. About 3 weeks ago, I decided that I needed a change. So I went to the salon and got about 3 inches of dead, dry, brittle, stringy hair cut off, and layers put it to make a long bob. The front area stayed the same, with long bangs.

I don't blow dry my hair - I am too lazy and it's too time consuming. I put Oribe Apres Beach spray on it, let it dry, then finger comb it, and touch up the back a little with the curling iron. My hair is naturally very curly, and the shorter it is, the curlier it gets. The new hairdo was well received. It's just different enough to update my style, but not so much as to be shocking. Personally, I love it - that little change made a big difference.
