The Trifecta

I had to make an appointment yesterday, so no time to blog. The good thing about that is that today you get to see three outfits !! First, Tuesday's getup :

One of my Antthony Designs pants sets. I got so many compliments on this, and it is one of the most comfortable things I own !! I got 4 of them in different designs last year when I was taking care of my mom right before her death (for the easy care) and I am so glad I did that.

Sadly, my Coldwater Creek pewter belt is looking less than spiffy. I'll have to try and polish it up a bit and see what happens.

I wore my purple Austrian crystal necklace.

On my right arm, a tanzanite tennis bracelet and an opal/amethyst ring.

On my left arm, another opal/amethyst ring and two more Austrian crystal bracelets.

Yesterday, I wore a very neglected Apt 9 shift dress.

It's very loose and has a sort of bubble shape to it.

On top, a vintage jacket from Bullock's Wilshire Pasadena. A very old, very tony store that is no longer in business.

The dress has a bow at the empire seam that is deep royal satin. A very cute touch.

Likewise, the jacket has satin buttons, collar, and button vents.

I wore a smaller Austrian crystal necklace that I got as a gift one Christmas.

On my left arm, white gold wedding rings, a diamond tennis bracelet and a sapphire tennis bracelet.

On my right arm, my mom's engagement ring ans a sapphire/diamond band.

Today, a Calvin Klein number. I described the color to my coworkers as "filing cabinet beige".

It has a black yoke with studs. I wore my buffalo turquoise and smoky topaz statement necklace.

On my left arm, a leopard jasper ring and my Swarovksi Infinity bracelet.

On my right arm, a Brighton bracelet and a hematite ring.

 So there you have it - my week in work wear. Now for the links:

Living Aloha in the Garden of Good and Evil

This weekend saw the 10th Annual Pacific Islander Festival in HB Central Park:

As I was on my weekly run, I spied the dancers rehearsing their moves, and getting their costumes ready.

After I was through with my run, I got Doc from the library and we watched while he had a bowl of Loco Moco.

Flag bearers with honu.

And a little muay thai action as well !!

Here is the Pacific Islander Band. The guy on the far right was also the vocalist.

As you can see, the crowd was pretty big. The parking lots were full, but as a resident of HB, I knew where the secret parking lots were.

Each of the easy ups had food from a different island - Hawaii, Tonga, Samoa, Marshall Islands, the Marianas, etc.

Doc wanted to try his hand at growing fresh herbs. Here we have parsley, oregano and basil.

Here we have sage, peppermint and thyme. If you add me to the mix, we do indeed have "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme". Simon and Garfunkel.

That was the Garden of Good. Now for the Evil. Me in my Bee Costume.

You have all seen this exact outfit a number of times. The jacket and T are from Oneque. I already had the matching sequin-waisted pants in my vast cave of a closet.

Here's a closer view. The sequins are clear, so the color beneath them shows through.

My ancient necklace from Avon matches perfectly.

On my left arm, my CDC and my yellow gold wedding set.

On my right arm, a crystal/enamel ring from Saks and a leather cuff with tiny studs.

I also got my Ipsy bag last week, It's solid black with bumps.

Here's what was inside:

1) eva nyc Zero Gravity Volume Powder
2) PRMIT Beauty Gellusion Vegan nail polish in Capricorn
3) Neogen Germology Rose Flower Cleansing Water
4) Ciate Wonderwand Mascara in Black Magic
5) Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer in Radiance

So you have seen good, evil, and beautiful. Now for an overdose of cute !!!

Pandi in the sombrero and serape that Luke, Ashley and Preston gave her.

She is a natural at expressing her rich cultural heritage. A Keebler fudge striped shortbread doesn't hurt either.

See everyone later - Aloha, Mahalo, Cheerio, and Adios !!!!

Not a Casual Friday

Usually my appropriateness criteria relaxes a bit on Friday, even though we do not have casual Friday at the hospital. But today, we had a scheduled inspection, so I had to amp it up. Evidence:

This is a tailored black dress by none other than Ann Taylor. The hem is pleated all the way around.

I topped it with a silver and black tweed retro styled jacket from Max Studio Specialty Products.

For a touch of the funky, I finally got to wear the necklace I got in Portland at Nordstrom. Every other time I have tried to incorporate it, it just didn't work.

On my left arm, a white gold wedding set and a bracelet made of safety pins and beads, made for me by a sweet old lady, who is now deceased. It is my memento of her.

On my right arm, a mother of pearl spaceship ring and a costume bracelet.

I was pretty gussied up yesterday also:

This is a pull on dress by INC. I am embarrassed to admit it, but I couldn't find this dress for a while. But then after the Great Closet Clean Out of 2017, there it was, on the closet floor. Rejoice !!

I have another item that I "re-found" during the clean out. It's this black suede and gold chain belt.
I wore two necklaces ( the shorter one is black coral and the longer one an LV lock).

On my left arm, a CZ band and a ruby bracelet.

On my right arm, a gold bracelet and a garnet/diamond ring.

And that's it !!! I tried a spin class yesterday at a gym that sent me a really great sounding rate. But most of the Schwinn stationary bikes were broken, the music system stopped working twice and the instructor doesn't usually teach spin, so it wasn't a good experience. Oh well.
