BLACK WITH A POP OF COLOR

By the time you reach the age of 50 you should have learned how to be flexible. I can go with the flow in most situations and this weekend is one example. I loved the idea of being pampered with someone doing my hair and makeup, something that I am not used to letting others do for me. When we arrived in Columbia, SC on Saturday night we went out for a nice dinner at the Oak Table. It was a wonderful time eating with a lot of the ladies I met in Las Vegas, plus one more that I had never met. We ate and then just sat around talking and laughing. The busboy kept coming by picking up imaginary pieces of lint and straightening napkins. I think he was wanting us to leave. ? It was getting late, but the restaurant still had lots of people still eating, so I’m not sure why he wanted us to leave. On Sunday we met up with about 30-40 other Rodan and Fields consultants and enjoyed a wonderful business presentation along with a question and answer session about ourselves. I talked about you gurls and how you have become a huge part of my life. This post is all because of you. You asked for me to do a series using black since some of you wear a lot of black in your workplace. I don’t own a huge amount of black, so this is a stretch for me. This would be a typical way I would wear black, usually I would add a pop of color to my outfit. This red crop blazer is one that I bought last year at Cato’s. The blazer is not lined, so the first time I wore it the red rubbed off on my shirt. I learned a lesson about buying bright colored clothing and it not being lined. I tried on two necklaces before I made my decision on what I was going to wear. I added the pray pendant to the Tabitha necklace and wore it as a short style.
This black and white top is one that I wore this summer. The cap sleeves make it easy to wear a jacket over it without having to worry about the sleeves bunching up. I hate when I look like I have PopEye muscles under my sleeves. Haha Here is an up close look at the pray pendant and the Tabitha necklace as well as the Joey necklace. I love the longer necklace, and that is the one I eventually chose to wear. I have one the matching bracelet called the Selena. And two bling bracelets , the Hugo and the Ezra. The Ezra (black) was a Halloween special bracelet that is sold out.My shoes that I chose to wear are a pair of Marc Fisher booties that I bought last year. I love booties because they look great with pants or dresses. It took me a while before I was comfortable wearing booties with a dress. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and that is a good thing.
These pants are palazzo pants. I had lunch with a friend and the first thing she said was, “those pants make you look so skinny.” Who doesn’t want to hear comments like that? Let’s play “I Spy.” I spy with my little eye the car keys that I forgot to take off my purse. Haha. Did you find them? Here is a hint, look on the pumpkins?
I am writing this while traveling down the Interstate. I am using my iPad because it has cellular capability. BUT, I can’t link to my outfits with an iPad. If there is something that you are particularly fond of just shoot me a message and I will try to link to that item.

I had the best time at Glamour Day. I would love to share what a great opportunity it is working with Rodan and Fields with some of you.
