The Never Ending Story

What a week !!! I was chosen for a special event at work. That's cool, but it also means that I had to cram all my regular work into the remaining time. So NO time to blog. The good thing is, you get three outfits today.

 The first is my Taylor dress that I wear quite frequently because it's so comfy and flattering.

It's scuba knit with an exposed zipper in the back.

On top, my INC leather swing jacket.

he back is all Venice lace. This time, the same two necklaces that seem to work the best with this outfit. Both were my mom's, and the shorter lacy medallion has an interchangeable lapis pendant option.

On my left arm, white gold solitaire and eternity band, and two silver bracelets, one of which is a diamond tennis bracelet.

On my right arm, a tanzanite band, a twisted silver rope, and a multicolored gemstone bracelet.

The next outfit is a dress from Stein Mart, made by MSK. You will see the ring detail at the neck soon.

On top, a pinstriped blazer with tonal embroidery by Maxou.

The dress is a tent shape, so to cinch it in a bit, I used my perfectly matching ring belt.

In this shot of my amethyst necklace, you can see the ring detail at the neck of the dress.

On my left arm, a tanzanite bracelet and an amethyst ring.

On my right arm, a tanzanite ring and two amethyst bracelets.

The last outfit was for a cold, rainy Friday.

The coat is one part of a two part outfit by Nanette Lepore. The other part is a sleeveless dress, but I need to lengthen it.

Underneath, a gold lurex Joseph A top that is embellished wirh pearls.

 My knit skirt is Style and Co, and it has an elastic waist.

In this shot of my two rose tone gold necklaces, you can see the pearl embellishment.

On my left arm, my yellow gold wedding set and a crystal/seed bead bracelet from Neiman Marcus.

On my left arm, a smoky topaz ring and my Hermes CDC.

But I was not the only one working hard this week. Look at Pandi !!!

She couldn't wait to get to the office to be the spokesmodel for Beach Medical. She positioned herself on Doc's work bags, lest he forget her.

She keeps guard under his desk. She gets luvin' from all the patients all day long.

You can go your own Way

I am working the Stevie Nicks vibe today. I am wearing a pair of New York and Company slacks, a very floofy blouse of unknown origin, and a long Uniform by John Paul Richard long duster sweater.

This outfit gave me the perfect opportunity to wear a matching necklace and ring of moonstone and blue topaz. Not the lace, the crinkling and the sharkskin type sheen on the fabric of the blouse.  i t also has double bell cuffs that are also trimmed in lace, just in case the blouse is not quite fluffy enough.

Here is the matching moonstone and topaz ring.

On my right arm, a diamond cluster ring that was my mom's.

Yesterday was a whole different vibe. Another big meeting, another conservative suit from Kasper.

It's a very pale beige color with ivory collar and cuffs and pearl buttons trimmed in gold.

I went with all pearl jewelry. The larger mm pearls are mine from Hong Kong, and the smaller ones are graduated, and were my mom's from Japan.

On my left arm, a twisted gold bracelet and a South Sea pearl ring.

On my right arm, a pearl bracelet and a pearl/diamond cluster ring.

A little linking today.

Whips and Chains

Now, now. This is not that kind of blog. Naughty naughty. Actually, it's my pants that I am talking about.

You will get a better look further down the post. The pants are INC, the ruffly pirate blouse is White Stag, and the blazer is Escada.

This is a blurry shot of my matte gold costume necklace with black cabochons.

Since my pirate blouse has ruffled cuffs, no bracelets today. On my left arm, a smoky topaz flower ring.

On my right arm, a huge smoky topaz. Doc calls it my old lady ring. If the shoe fits.....

Speaking of shoes, here are my awesome pants, worn with Sam and Libby booties.

I also got my Birchbox last night.

Here is what was in it, top to bottom:

1) 12 Benefits Instant Healthy Hair Treatment
2) LAQA and Co B'lighter - blush plus highlighter in Peacher's Daughter.
3) Cane and Austin 20% Miracle Pads - 20% glycolic acid. I can't wait to use these.
4) too cool for school All in One Egg Mellow Cream - a combo serum, eye cream and night mask
5) Stila Cosmetics HUGE Extreme Lash Mascara - it's true. My lashes are huge and fluffy. I have pretty good lashes anyhow, but this was still impressive.

Have a fabulous weekend!!!!

Mid Week Mashup

Yesterday was another presentation day, so I had to whip out another super professional outfit:

Don't you love the "duh" look on my face? Hopefully, it was gone by the time I had to speak.
This is a Kasper suit in a strange neutral color that I cannot even begin to describe, but it seems to match with everything.

Here is the Loft blouse that I wore underneath. It is taupe with gold lurex accents and a tie neck.

My costume necklace is actually a long strand that I wound around my neck twice. That way, it doesn't compete with the bow.

On my left arm, a tricolor gold bracelet and my yellow gold wedding set.

On my right arm, a costume ring and the gold bracelet that my mom gave me. I was rough with it and broke it, but the jeweler did a great job repairing it.

Today, I am a vision in plum. This tweed skirt has always been snug, but it seemed even tighter this morning. I guess it's one of two things - either too many late night burritos, or my ever shifting post menopausal body. When I look at the picture of my chest and arms above, I think I look bony and definitely don't want to get any skinnier. So I will just try not to eat gut bombs right before bed, or else this is what happens when you are pushing 60. It is a VERY old skirt.

The top is from Nordstrom, and you will see the pewter chain detail a little bit later.

On top, a waterfall cardigan from Macy's by Style and Company. I got it at an after Christmas sale a few years ago. I got both burgundy and tan, because they worked out to be around $7 each.

Well, I lied. You can barely see the pewter trim on the T shirt. But it is exactly the same color as the long dangly necklace that is actually a belt. I got it at White House, Black Market in Las Vegas.

On my left arm, a costume ring and silver bracelet.

On my right arm, another costume ring and a bracelet that I got from EBay.

Here's a better look at this tight sucker. It is loosening up as the day goes by, so at least I can breathe.  My adorable shoes are Valentino, but they need to go to the shoemaker.
