Just Peachy!!!

                                          That describes my outfit of the day!!!

This is a new combo of old things!!!! The peach top with ivory eyelash lace overlay is by Leo Loves Virgo. These peach jeans are made by Fabrizio Gianni. Mama Mia!!! I made a game day substitution with my Merona sandals.

They are more comfy than my Joe's gladiators, which I had originally chosen.

                                           I doubled up two Austrian crystal necklaces.

On my right arm, a burgundy pearl and bronze faceted stretch bracelet and a smoky topaz ring.

On my left arm, a copper Indian souvenir cuff and a costume ring from Banana Republic, that was a souvenir also, but from Baltimore.

But I'm not stoppin' there!!! Great minds think alike - here are my coworkers.

             It's a ruffly, lacy world in our Hospital Administration department today.

When I took off my Sharagano skirt yesterday, the tag cracked me up. Washable. Good. Made for today's fast paced lifestyle. HAHAHAHA. So if you're lazy like me, taking care of the skirt won't prevent you from going to red carpet events or coronations. Saints be praised, I was worried that doing my laundry would interfere with my jetset lifestyle.

On a more somber note, my boss is breaking up with us. He is moving onto greener pastures, and leaving us all alone, until the next poor victim comes under our spell. We sent him off in high style.

               Oh how I shall miss you, Chris!!! But we will always be buddies. This I know.

So, let's link!!! First, sweet Alice at www.happinessatmidlife.com has Throwback Thursday. Then, Nicole from www.highlatitudestyle.com has Top Of The World Style. Have a great day, and see you all tomorrow!!!!

Walk on The Wild Side

We'll start with another selfie stick outtake. Not much improvement in my technique.

But just look at how hard I work !!! All those important papers on my desk !!!! Anyway, yesterday, as I was minding my own business, I got an email from Stein Mart. They miss me. Honestly, I haven't been there in a long time. The last couple of times that I went, the styles seemed rather matronly, even for an old bag like me. But they offered me an extra 40 % off Red Dot Clearance, which is usually already 50% off. So I went. Here is my receipt.

I saved $144.14 !!! I only spent $29.01. The racks were jammed with summer stuff, and the fall stuff is already there, so they need to head it up and move it out. Here's what I got for $29.01.

First, a costume goldtone collar type necklace. I was watching something on TV and saw a character wearing something similar, so I was actually looking for this. I found another version as well.

This goldtone necklace has stations with crystals in the front. I also got this Tshirt top from One World.

It has a drapey chiffon panel in the front. It's a nice basic. Then I got one of those scuba skirts.

Sorry about the belly, but I wanted you to see the whole print. It's made by Sharagano, and I can't see why it couldn't be worn with the top tucked in as well. I have a few things from Sharagano, and they came from nice stores. So here's how the top and skirt looked together.

Pretty cute and pretty comfy, so a winner in my book. I wore some very colorful accessories with this getup. First, my plastic necklace from China via EBay.

That picks up three of the colors in the skirt. Then, on my right arm,

My bracelet/ring duo from Saks. On my left arm,

A wedding set and the same two enamel bangles as yesterday. But the piece de resistance

My aqua purse with gold trimmings, and some new shoes that I got at a consignment shop. They are made by Alfani. They were unworn, so I wondered why they were on consignment. I thought that maybe they were torture chambers, so I brought a spare pair of shoes in case.

Turns out that they are fine. Maybe it was the strange color. But lucky for me, it just happens to match the last color in the skirt.

Onto links!!! First, Grace from www.colorandgrace.com has Color and Grace Fashion. I am certainly colorful. Then Liz at www.shoppingmycloset.com has Style Me Wednesday. And as always, Lindsey at www.thepleatedpoppy.com has What I Wore.  I will leave you with a picture of my Fiesta Chicken Salad that I had for lunch yesterday. Have a good one, and thanks for looking.

Totally Turquoise Tuesday

Our healthcare system has its corporate HQ about a mile from the hospital where I work, and I have to go over for meetings every now and again. We bought the office complex about a year ago, and have been extensively remodeling it ever since. For most of that time, the employees who work there had to eat from food trucks or bring their own lunch. But now they have a new restaurant - Cafe M. (M is for Memorialcare).

There are open stations - hand made sandwiches, pizza/flatbread, wok/stir fry, soup and salad bar, grill, and healthy alternatives. You just pick your food out, then pay at the exit. For $7, I got a field greens salad with grilled chicken breast, blue cheese, beets, garbanzos, artichoke hearts, cucumbers,bell peppers, raisins, and crispy Chinese noodles.

                                                   It was pretty big and pretty deelish.

Last night, Doc came home and brought me a new toy!!! A selfie stick. So of course, I had to play with it today.

It telescopes out to three feet. It has a timer, also. Here are two outtakes, as I was attempting to get my daily outfit shot.

Ugh. Look how skinny my arm looks. It looks even worse than usual. I also need to keep my mouth closed. I look like a baby bird. More practice is needed. 

Here's my usual headless shot, with more human looking arms. The pants are Calvin Klein, and the top is Mixit. I do love the colors. I wore my faux turquoise chain necklace with this lovely color.

On my right arm, an enamel cuff from Stein Mart, and a vintage faux turq ring.

On my left arm, two more enamel bangles from Charming Charlie and an enamel ring from Macy's.

I wore my Madden Girl elastic wedges and carried my Aldo purse that I brought home from Orlando.

The other day, my neighbor gave me a pair of shoes. They don't fit me, since I haven't worn a size six since I was six.

They are Ferragamo, so I will be giving them to my DIL, Kim, who is very tiny and petite. They look barely worn. 

I will leave you with a shot of my Breakfast of Champions - Rolos and Reeses !!! 

But let's link!!! First, Jess at www.elegantlydressedandstylish.com has Turning Heads Tuesday. Then, Kileen at www.cuteandlittle.com has On Trend Tuesday. And last, Laura at www.walkinginmemphisinhighheels.com has Trend Spin. This week's trend is strappy sandals, and those Madden Girl shoes are entirely straps, so I am in like Flynn. Have a great day!!!

Another Year Older, and Deeper in Debt

That may be true for me, but not these guys!!! On Saturday, we had a joint birthday party for 3 year old Benjy and 5 year old Joseph. It was held at Sigler Park.

                                               The park has a nice playground.

                               It also has a free water park, with all kinds of attractions.

                                         We had a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle pinata.

                                     There were also TMNT cakes, home made by Kim.

Cousin Emma came with her sister, Lily. Emma fell head over heels in love with Elli.

                                    After this "babysitting", Elli needed a nap in the sun.

                              She and I had some delicious pizza, sandwiches, and cake.

                            We decided to go with a hippie theme for our outfits. Here I am.

             Here's a better look at the patch on my T shirt, and the crystal trim on my skirt.

                                               Of course, Doc and Elli joined in, too !!!

We gave the boys money for an X box, and their favorite animal from the animal parade last week. Joseph liked the iguana, and Benjy liked the Staffordshire terrier.

                                               Their cards were hand picked by Elli.

               Onto another grandson, this time Preston. On Sunday, we went grape picking.

Sorry they are sideways. Can't figure it out. Today was also his first day of first grade.

                                         That's about all. So what am I wearing today?

This is a Bebe jacket, matched with a Loft skirt. The jacket has lacing detail on the front and the back.

                                         My ivory tank has a paillette panel on the front.

      I have a hideously awesome necklace that matches perfectly, done in acid green plastic.

On my left arm, a stretchy crystal bracelet from Saks, and a creepy green ring from Nordstrom.

               On my right, the matching white enamel/crystal ring and bracelet, also from Saks.

So after this marathon post, let's link up!! First, Cherie at www.stylenudge.com has Shoe and Tell. Then, Rachelle at www.pinksole.com has How I Summer. And last, someone sort of new to me, Deb at www.elegantlyfashionable.com has Classy Monday. Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by!!!
