Elegant Blushing

The last two days, I have been on a pale pink/ blush kick. One outfit is very elegant, and one was fairly casual, but the color scheme kicked it up a bit on the formality scale. First, the elegance:

This outfit is a Joseph A silk tunic and a pair of Editor pants by Express. The tunic is very simple, with the exception of the cold shoulder slits, which are difficult to see. The Editor slacks are a tiny blush and tan check print.

On top, I am wearing a brocade jacket from Jessica McClintock. It is a typical floral brocade, but without any Chinese characters.

I wore three coordinating necklaces, and even though it felt like a lot of frou frou, I got a ton of compliments. The shorter one is Ann Taylor, and the two longer ones are INC.

On my left arm, my J Crew crystal link bracelet, and my yellow gold wedding set.

Onto today. It all started with a pair of blush jeans, since it's casual Friday. Then I added a chiffon blouse  that has tan lace epaulets.

I hurt my back and was out of commission as far as exercise goes for a week, and I guess I dropped a couple of pounds on my legs, since all my pants are baggy. It seems like muscle mass fades very quickly. But I am going to start working out gently again tonight.

Here's a better look at the epaulets.

I wore two necklaces, both rose gold, and both were my mom's. The bottom one is a gift that I had given her for Mother's Day quite a few years ago.

Once again, just jewelry on my left arm- three RJ Graziano costume rose gold bangles and a black/white diamond ring.

And I have one last Mother's Day gift of my own to show you. My favorite designer is Calvin Klein, so I present my latest number from the brand:

Cute, right?? Haven't had a chance to wear it yet, but stay tuned.
