Ebony and Ivory (and Lime Green)

The two outfits that I am going to show you today both have ivory as a base color and then use different bright colors to complete the look. Yesterday, I went for a light and bright look:



It started with an ivory shift in a thick scuba knit with a bit of mesh trim around the neckline.



Then I added a silk brocade jacket in a bright lime green.


You can see the brocade better here. My weird green resin necklace turned out to be a perfect match.



On my left arm, a stretchy crystal bracelet from Saks. Also, the creepy green ring from Nordstrom makes another appearance.


On my right arm, my Montana peridot ring, and a bracelet with lighter peridot stones.



Onto today, this Saks Fifth Avenue Black dress has an ivory top and a black skirt.


At the empire waist, there are some black patent squares that give the dress a nice, elegant touch.



For today's color, my id Sport deep red leather jacket that has alligator embossment.


The deep red color allowed me to wear my Sesto Meucci black suede pumps with the organza rose. They just came back from the shoe repair shop and look brand new !!




I wanted to wear gold jewelry,but with the silver zipper on my jacket and the silver trim on my handbag, I went with silver and garnet jewelry. Both necklaces were given to me by my mom. The top one, which looks like a blossom, was one that both my mom and I had. When she passed, I gave hers to my niece.


On my left arm, another mash up of my own pieces and my mom's. The garnet/opal bracelet was my mom's gift to me for my 40th, and the all garnet one was hers. As for the rings, the diamond cluster was mom's, while the diamond/ruby eternity band is mine.



On my right arm, the garnet cluster is a Colleen Lopez piece, and the two silver bracelets are old pieces.



So now that you have seen my dresses, let's do the linking:
