Two Kinds of Waves

So here in Huntington Beach, we are having two kinds of waves - one is a heat wave, and the other is the US Open of Surfing that is held every summer in HB. The first wave means cool summer dresses, and the second wave means that anywhere near downtown HB is crowded to the max!!

There is nothing that I can do about the US Open, but I can wear summer dresses. So, on Tuesday, July 24:


I wore this Indian print cotton dress that I got in Denver about 10 years ago. The paisley print has a lot of colors, and it always gets compliments.

It's hard to see here - I forgot to get a close up and tried to enlarge one of the pix above. But you can sort of see that I wore two silver chains with it.


On July 25th, I wore a knit shift from Mary McFadden. Very vintage.


My Target gladiator sandals were the perfect accent.


Once again, I forgot about Wednesday, but here is Thursday, July 26th.  This is another Taylor dress - that seems to be one of the most common labels in my closet for the summer. They sell this brand at Nordstrom and also at Neiman Marcus and Saks. For winter, the winner is Calvin Klein.



This one is silk, and is turquoise blue and bright coral.


Naturally, I have the perfect necklace. This is a Joan Rivers convertible piece.


I even remembered my arms today. On the left, my yellow gold wedding set and an enamel bangle.


 On my right, an Italian gold bracelet, and an enamel ring from Nordstrom.


Friday was July 27th, so I wore a BB Dakota silk dress. I have the same exact dress in the red colorway. It is also my 59.5 birthday, so I can now withdraw from my IRA. Go me !! Getting old !!!




The neckline of these dresses is a bit low, and I am not even well endowed. I always wear a tank or cami underneath. I wore two necklaces, one green and one purple.



On my left arm, two multicolored gemstone bracelets and my Montana peridot ring.


On my right arm, two more multicolored gemstone bracelets and an amethyst ring.


Just for yuks, here is Pandi's ultra gourmet super deluxe grand supreme dinner - Blue Buffalo crunchies, Rachel Ray tiny dog grain free wet food, and a rib bone for dessert.


Yesterday was July 30th. I wore this H&M silk dress that I got in Beverly Hills.



Another convertible necklace from my mom's QVC stash makes an appearance.


On my right arm, a ruby/diamond cluster ring, the Italian gold bracelet, and a ruby bracelet.


On my left arm, my yellow gold wedding rings and a chain bracelet with a diamond, a ruby, and a sapphire heart charm.


For the last day of July, yet another Taylor dress. This one is a denim type material.


It has a ruffled portrait collar and an empire waist.


Both necklaces were my mom's - one is a silver heart and the other is blue topaz.


On my left arm, an Italian silver bracelet and a white sapphire eternity band from Italo jewelry - that is a brand that heavily markets on Instagram. It has a matching solitaire, but I will probably split them up, because when worn together, they are a lot of ring.


On my right arm, a sapphire/diamond cluster and another Italian silver bracelet.


Well, that's all for another week. Thanks for staying tuned!!
