This Taylor dress is my lone purchase from the Nordstrom sale. I find that they offer lower quality special deals for the sales, and so I wait until they reduce prices on their regular merchandise. But I had a problem with my bill, so I paid in store. Then I saw the dress, so I got it.
It's a nice thick knit, more ottoman than scuba.
On Tuesday, I wore my Ann Taylor cold shoulder top with a slinky skirt that I have had for years, and love.
Wednesday is a blur. So guess what, no pictures and no outfit. But on Thursday,
I wore a Loft striped linen pencil skirt with a rib knit top that has satin sleeves. I also had a big dinner on Wednesday night, so I have a giant gut.
My Kate and Rosy peplum jacket did a good job of gut concealment.
Nice. Luckily, the gut was only temporary.
On Friday, I went for all out comfort. These are my Gap slacks, with a chiffon top by One World. On top, I wore a chiffon vest thing that is supposed to be a swimsuit cover.
My moonstone statement necklace went for a ride around the block. I also wore my Swarovksi Trema ring, and a bracelet of pearl, larimar, peridot and aurora borealis crystals.
On Saturday, we gave my MIL, Mimi, a lift to the LDS Pioneer Day. Since I was going to spend the day with the Mormons, I went with a suitably conservative shorts outfit.
The orange bermudas are from Joie, and the Incan top is a souvenir that a friend brought me from Macchu Pichu.
Today, I tried something new. I bought this embroidered shift from the Phillipines for my DIL, Kim's bridal shower. She now has a 7 year old, so this thing has been washed a lot. It shrunk in length, to the point that I can no longer sit down in it without showing the good china.
So I wore a black linen pencil skirt underneath, and added a black satin bow at the waist. I like how it turned out.
I wore a long silver herringbone chain and a diamond drop necklace.
On my left arm, a leather/crystal cuff from Baltimore and a crystal ring.
On my right arm, a tricolor bracelet from Italy and a green crystal ring.
My Birchbox came Friday, after I complained that I didn't get one this month. That happened once before. Here's what I got:
1) Laritzy Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Tidal
2) Makeup Drop Silicone Makeup applicator in Micro - for those expensive face creams
3) Dr Jart+ Water Fuse Ultimate Hydro Gel
4) Tocca Cleopatra Eau de PArfum
5) Oribe Matte Waves Texture Lotion - love this brand, but so pricey!!
Last week, I got some booze in the cutest mini Mason jars. I think I will put Qtips in them for my bathroom.
On Sunday, we went to the Orange County Fair.
More shorts, but this time, not so goony.
The first order of business was food at the fairway. After careful deliberation, Doc chose Pink's Hot Dogs.
Most of the food was actually advertised as either natural or organic. Really.
My coworker won the prize for biggest avocado.
Here are my Versace glasses next to it for comparison. They have big frames.
Speaking of giant, there was this giant friendly cow. Everyone was petting and scratching her, and she didn't seem to mind one bit.
This precious newborn calf was in the pen, just chilling. I guess being born is stressful.
And the featured animal, mama sow and the Pig Cam.
The piglet on the right reminds me of Pandi.
And that's about it, until next week. Have a good one !!
