The Final Countdown

Tomorrow, we go to Minneapolis. Pandi goes to Dr Lizardo's. I will miss her, and I understand why people bring their pets on vacation, but she needs some medical treatment as well. So off to
Beach Blvd Animal Hospital for her.

Anyway, back to what I wore last week:

This is a hunter green wool jacket from Tahari that my MIL gave me. It has matching slacks, but I wore it with ivory Ann taylor pants.

Underneath, a navy and hunter green paisley satin top with smocking at the empire waist and sleeves.

I wore a bunch of emerald jewelry, along with my CDC>

On Tuesday, my new Michael Kors knit top. I wore elastic waist old lady pants.

I felt like I was wearing pajamas all day - it was great.

Here's a close up of the top - it has grommets around the neck that the chain goes through. The aglets have the logo on them. It also has two little cold shoulder slits that you can't see. My chain belt is vintage.

On Thursday, a very old, but super flattering dress. It has ruching on the side.

I wore my tricolor Guess Maryjanes - they don't get much action.

My garnet blossom necklace made an appearance.

On my left arm, a white gold solitaire and a ruby/diamond band. Also, a triple strand garnet bracelet that was my mom's.

On my right arm, a fire opal/diamond ring, and a triple strand garnet/opal bracelet.

On Friday, I did a little pattern mixing. I wasn't sure about this combo, but I got quuite a few compliments, even from Doc.

The skirt is Ann Taylor. The top is from Goodwill.

Here's a better look at the patterns. They have the same colors.

And my black plastic waterfall necklace along with my Versace belt.

Today, I am wearing an outfit that I have had forever, but never wore for some reason. It's from Stein Mart.

Here's a look at the rick rack on the sweater and the embroidery on the skirt. Very matchy matchy.

For such a busy outfit, I wore a large amethyst necklace.

On my left arm, my yellow gold wedding set and two amethyst bracelets.

On my right arm, an amethyst ring from Doc, and two more bracelets.

 

Well, stay tuned for Minneapolis!!!

One Month Down

Two more to go before our department gets additional staffing. Everyone is having babies, which is nice. So the old bag works harder to help out. But I don't get much downtime. I only got to go on one walk last week. But here is what I wore:

On Tuesday, I wore a pair of Express slacks - they are navy pinstripe with a wide brocade waistband.
I wore them with a heathered blue T shirt. Over that, I wore a black satin puff sleeve swing jacket.

Here is a blurry close up of the brocade waistband. And ma belleh.

I wore two necklaces - the longer one is silver herringbone and the shorter one is costume smoke crystals

On Wednesday, I wore a very Palm Beachy outfit. It is a pair of black, hot pink and red floral pants. On top, my new cold shoulder top from Ann Taylor. This was very comfy.

I wore two necklaces - the longer one is a beaded lariat. The shorter one is costume Givenchy.

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

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

Here is the completed wall of dogs. Pandi's new needlepoint is now displayed.

On Wednesday night, I got my hair cut. She did a great job. I got a long bob, slightly longer in front. My hair is curly anyway, so the messy beach look is natural for me. It goes in and out of style. My hair looks much better after being pruned by the talented Nancy at Supercuts in HB on Beach Blvd. I have finally realized that I am so old that I benefit from professional treatment.

I wore a great outfit - tweed flare slacks with a copper sequin waistband and an ivory T shirt with a gunmetal metallic front. On top, my rust satin Emanuel Ungaro blazer.

Another day, another lariat. This time, I wore the darker one as a choker, and a longer spaced stone costume piece.

On my left arm, a crystal and leather cuff, an X ring, and a black/white ring.

On my right arm, a costume ring from Banana Republic in Baltimore , like the bracelet. Also a costume cuff from INC.

On Friday, June 1, I wore a sheath dress from Weekend something or another. It was a local company based in Irvine, where I used to work long ago. I got a lot of cool casual stuff from their warehouse sales.

It is very slinky and swishy in real life, and has wooden buttons up the back. It looks dumpy here. It's not. I wore my trusty back plastic waterfall necklace.

On my left arm, a black leather cuff, and the X ring and black/white diamond ring.

On my right arm, my Hermes CDC and a citrine ring.

Well, tomorrow I start a five day week. Minneapolis the week after - keep in touch.

Finally, Some Time Away from the Madness

It's Memorial Day weekend, and I have four glorious days off!! So let's recap what I wore last week:

On Monday, I went to the optometrist for new glasses. I got the Foxy by Swarovski in bronze. I really need them, and they are super cute, so I can't wait to get them.

I wore Global Chic by Iman brown stretch pants, with a copper satin tunic from ie. On top, a brown bolero with tonal beads from INC. I also wore an amber necklace and a Joan Rivers long rope with a faux amber pendant.

On Tuesday, I had to present at a big meeting, so out came this chic navy wool dress from Anne Klein.

It has a really nice side draping detail and a self belt with a brushed gold buckle.

Two necklaces - an enamel Faberge egg replica and my LV lock pendant.

On my left arm, my yellow gold wedding rings and a sapphire bracelet.

On my right arm, a London Blue Topaz ring and a diamond/sapphire bracelet.

On Wednesday, I went for comfort in slacks. Even though you can't see it here, they are navy blue pinstripw with black lace trim down the sides of the legs.

I wore a black sweater that has lurex shot through it.

And two necklaces - the sorter one is blue topaz and the longer one is blue topaz/moonstone. It has a matching ring, which I also wore.

On Thursday, more pants. This time, my burgundy tweed Mossimo pants. The flecks are hot pink. On top, a top from Style and Co that is silver metallic with a placed burgundy rose print.

I wore my Katy and Rosy jacket on top - the top part is knit, and the ruffles are chiffon.

I have been working on a needlepoint of Pandi. I finished it, and got this frame at Hobby Lobby on Friday. I love the quote from the Song of Solomon.

Here's a closeup of my needlepoint. It actually looks like her.

Today. we went down to South Coast Plaza to go shop a bit. i haven't been there since Memorial Day 2014. i only bought a couple of things. There weren't any new stores, but it was kind of disappointing that the Barnes and Noble was closed. I couldn't believe that a big mall like that can't support a bookstore. I guess no one reads any more.

I wore navy slinky knit pants from Antthony Designs and a Catherine Malandrino dolman sleeve top.

it has a surprise in the back - a lace yoke.

Here's a better look.

I wore two necklaces - a silver cable with an onyx pendant and a long silver herringbone chain.

Whe we got home, I made a spicy pork shoulder in the Crock Pot with mashed potatoes and onions and peppers. It was delicious.

Two more days with no work !!! Hallelujah!! Tomorrow, a run in the park. See you all soon !!
