Clo 'n Mo

Clothes and More, only I am using the new twitter lingo, where you only use as many letters as necessary. Let's start with the clothes. Way back on 17 August in the year of our Lord 2018, this is what I wore:



These are my white Michael Kors slacks. They have silver button trim on both legs, and a silver zip cargo pocket. On top, I wore a white blousy tank with silver sequin trim and a grey cardi with lace trim. Also, silver Gucci mules.


One of my favorite costume pieces was perfect for this getup.



On my left arm, a silver costume bracelet and my white sapphire eternity band.


On my right arm, a seraphanite bracelet and a mabe pearl ring.


Then a weekend happened. On Monday, I wore this getup. It consists of a pale banana Barami jacket and a tiki print silk sarong skirt from Neiman Marcus.



I wore a mango colored ribbed tank from Cache underneath.


My necklace was a tiny pendant of garnet and citrine.


On my left arm, a silver cuff and a citrine/diamond ring. And a bandaid.


On my right arm, two silver / cubic z bracelets and another citrine ring.


Tuesday, I was all in pink and lavender. The crepe and chiffon jacket is by Kate and Rosy. The mesh skirt is from Clio.



Underneath, a lavender satin top with a built in chain necklace. I wore an amethyst pendant.


On my left arm, a costume bracelet that was my mom's, and an amethyst ring.


On my right arm, a tanzanite bracelet and a ying-yang ring of amethyst and blue topaz.



On Wednesday, I wore my Rampage knit slacks that have the good old Palm Beach flair. On top, a floaty chiffon top from Bisou Bisou.



My jewelry was all garnets - blossom pendant, cross pendant, two bracelets and two rings.


Thursday, I decided to go Parisian. My Weekend Report dress has a parisian border pirnt with a big Eiffel Tower up the side.


I wore a knit lace duster on top.


Here's a look at the junk - Versace belt, black coral necklace, Hermes CDC and seed bead cuff from the Chakra Shack in Laguna Beach.


Friday saw me wearing H&M cigarette pants and a cold shoulder top from Ann Taylor.



I wore a tri-color chain necklace and a long silver herringbone chain.


On my wrists, a leather studded wraparound bracelet and two enamel Honu bangles from the swap meet in Honolulu.


Today, I am wearing a very old and very loved faux wrap dress with cold shoulder sleeves.



Two necklaces  - one long silver herringbone and a KJL piece that was my mom's.


On my left arm, a leather cuff from Baltimore and my white sapphire eternity ring.


On my right arm, an Italian silver bracelet and a mabe pearl ring.


So now for the More. I got my little space capsule detailed.


Isn't she pretty again ?

I made steak fries with a quartet of dipping sauces for a snack for Doc and me.


When I took my cigarette pants off on Friday night, Pandi jumped on them and curled up.



My up-line big boss gave me this flower arrangement to thank me for covering for all the maternity LOAs. She also gave me a gift certificate to Burke Williams Day Spa.



They are beautiful, and ended up on the coffee table in the living room.


My employees gave me a bouquet of white lilies and coral roses.


They ended up on the antique sewing machine.


My house is now a floral hothouse. I like it.


And that's about it for today - I should be able to start linking up again soon. See you all around !!

Re - TIRE - ment

Wonder why the tire is capitalized? Because my newly retired husband Doc is growing one. He loves to eat, and since he is now retired, he cooks himself some grand concoctions. For example, the other day he had french toast with butter, peanut butter, banana, cinnamon and Nutella on top. Then he added a piece of chocolate mousse cake. I gagged when he told me. But he is walking and swimming - two things he never did as a working doctor. Also, the other day, I picked up one of his new T shirts to try on for some laughs. Behold:



I can hide inside it.

My, my. I really don't care if he is just chubby or even borderline fat. But if he gets cut out of the house fat, then we are singing a different tune.

Enough of him- back to me. Here's what I wore on August 9:


This is a dress by Susana Monaco that I got up in Burbank at the store where all the clothes from the TV shows and movies are sold. I got a bunch of stuff when we were up there for my 58th birthday.


I added my ivory waterfall cardi with the lace back since it was already out of the closet.


On Friday, August 10, I wore a silk dress that my neighbor gave me. It's from Charming Charlie.



I wore three necklaces with it - two long silver herringbone and a diamond pendant that was my mom's.



On my left arm, an Italian silver bracelet and my white sapphire duo from Italo jewelers.


On my left arm, a diamond/sapphire ring and a cubic zirconia bracelet.


On Monday, the 13th, I chaired my last meeting during this employee shortage. I wore a wool Celine skirt and a cold shoulder top from Saks Fifth avenue.



The top has beading around the neckline, so I wore a braided silver necklace with it - something simple.



On my right arm, my mom's engagement diamond and a pink moonstone bracelet.


On my left arm, the white sapphire eternity band alone, and a diamond tennis bracelet.


On Tuesday, I wore a long ignored dress. I don't know the brand. Underneath, a gold lurex tank from St John.



I like to wear a lot of different gemstones with this dress, since it has so many colors. I wore a short amethyst pendant, a medium citrine pendant, and a long faux emerald pendant.


Likewise, color on my arms - an amethyst ring, and two multi-gemstone bracelets on the left.


One of my mom's bracelets on the right, and an emerald/diamond ring.


Yesterday, I did not want to iron, so I wore some yoga pants and a Style and Co chiffon top.



I wore the St John tank again. Hope that's not too yucky. I also wore a costume matte gold necklace.


On my left arm, my yellow gold wedding rings and a stretchy crystal bracelet from Saks.


On my right arm, only my Hermes CDC.


Today, I wore a dress that I got in one of those Macy's last chance clearance sections - it was $7 and it took me forever to finally wear it, but I love it.




These blue crystal necklaces were a gift from my son and DIL for my birthday one year.


On my left arm, a very tarnished Brighton bracelet and the white sapphire solitaire from Italo.


On my right arm, a London Blue Topaz ring and two silver bracelets, one with a light blue topaz.


And i got my two cosmetic bags last week. First, Birchbox:


Here's what I got, from top to bottom:



1) Clarins Water Lip Stain - in 03 Red.
2) Vasnati Makeup Magnet wipes - Micellar water, which gets my makeup off the best
3) Avene Cleanance Expert - moisturizes and mattifies
4) Love of Color One and Done Shadow Stick in Champagne Problems
5) OUAI Wave Spray - I got my hair cut yesterday and used this to tousle it. It smells great.


Onto Ipsy. Here is what I got, again top to bottom:


1) Makeup For Ever Artist Color Pencil
2) Answer From Luminous Collagen Eye Cream
3) #inm heat - the Universe's Star Highlighter
4) Coola Golden Organic BB+ cream
5) The Black tea London Classic Serum


Whew. Another long recap. Stay tuned for more fun and games !!!
