A MOTO JACKET WITHOUT ALL THE WEIGHT
I should know by now to quit making plans. Remember yesterday when I mentioned that my daughter was on her way home and I couldn’t wait to see her? Well, it turns out, that I could wait for after all. She has come down with a head cold, and she said she was feeling tired because she didn’t get any sleep the night before. Plus, she is congested in her head, and she said that she was a little dizzy. DON’T drive when you are feeling dizzy.
I am beginning to think that my daughter is just trying to torment me. I don’t know why that would shock me since she has been doing that since she was a child. Lol! And, to try and drive me even crazier than I already am, she is talking about getting a stinking dog again. Don’t get me wrong, I love dogs, but she doesn’t have a clue where she is going to be living, working or anything else in a year. I tried pointing out that it was not fair to be yanking a dog around and that she needed to wait until she was settled and then we would talk about it. I swear you would think that she is Emersyn’s age instead of a woman in her early 30’s because you can not reason with her. After reading this, you ought to feel better about YOUR children. Hahaha! If you would like to adopt a headstrong, independent, totally unreasonable young lady, please let me know. Just asking for a friend. Lol!!!
I love the look of a moto jacket, but I have never been a fan of how stick and heavy the leather ones can be. My neck bothers me when I have something heavy on the back of it, and that includes a jacket or a coat. This moto jacket has a rugged look that I like, but it is a cotton-blend knit, so it is not near as heavy. It still has all of the style of a moto jacket including the asymmetrical zipper. I love that this is a hand wash and lay flat to dry item because I am not one to go to the dry cleaners (I don’t have one) very often. This jacket fits true to size, and I am wearing a size large.
The Promise necklace from Plunder Design jewelry features three strands of silver rods and disks on a black cord. This necklace takes all of the guesswork out of layering a necklace and makes it look effortless. I paired it with the Sam earrings which are no longer available because I was too lazy to look for my hammered silver earrings called Myra. Lol! The bracelet is not available either, so I don’t know why I even bothered to show you what I was wearing. Here are some styles that would work instead.
Here is purse number two courtesy of Sharif 1827. It is the “Mighty Olivia,” and I chose the snakeskin print. Did any of you think that this was one of the handbags that I chose? I love this one because of the print but mostly because of how versatile it is. It can be worn in the hobo style like I have styled it or it can be worn as a backpack. I know the backpack style is popular with a lot of ladies, but I have never worn a purse in that way. There is one more way that you can carry this handbag……….
The front pouch is removable, and it can be carried as a crossbody by itself. That is such a smart idea, and it changed the look of the purse with it removed.
Here is a close-up look at the leather material and the silver hardware. You can see the quality and workmanship in the stitching. This handbag comes in solid black, navy, and blush if you are not an animal print fan. Not only do you get two handbags in one but you get to save some money also because it is on sale! Woohoo! It is your lucky day. Go here to purchase this gorgeous bag.
I love my faded light gray jeans from Old Navy. I had been looking for a pair like this for a while and had even ordered a couple of other pairs from other companies, but they weren’t what I was looking for. I didn’t have a lot of faith that I would like this pair either, but I was pleasantly surprised. They are very comfortable, fit great, and they are super cute on so I find myself reaching for them over and over again.

Mercer…any of them
A handbag must have some small pockets placed either one on the outside for cell phone, and some on the inside for lipstick, extra gum, and lotion!
Was so hard to choose between the Mercer” Hair Calf Leather Whipstitch Shopper Tote in brown, the Mercer Hair Calf leather Whipstitch crossbody in brown, or the Mighty Olivia Leather Convertable Backpack/Hobo Crossbody in ALL four colors! WhT a truly fantastic giveaway! ??
Really cute outfit, one of my favorites! I’d love to win the Mercer tote!
Like the gray jacket love the versatile purse!
I would LOVE the Silver Metallic Hair Calf!!! I am looking for my first gray purse and this would be so lovely! If I win it, it will be the nicest purse I have ever owned.
This year my hair has silvered enough for me to make gray one of my primary neutrals. I have a very light warm complexion, so this is a whole new world to me. I’m working on a gray “pod” and now have a gray pair of corduroy pants, 2 gray base layers, 4 gray sweaters, a gray cardigan, and a pair of gray ankle boots. I still want some loafers, a purse, and maybe a jacket to finish off my collection. I think next year I’ll look for a new coat in that color as well.
I’m working on being able to post my outfits on Instagram, I would definitely show off that purse!! Thanks for doing this give away, that is very generous of you to do.
I know you are so happy to have your daughter near you again. May you delight in discovering new facets of each other. Nowadays, it seems that even food has become political. There are usually so many dishes served at this annual holiday that having a few vegan ones would not be a big deal. That way everyone gets to have their favorites and maybe try something new too.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!!
These bags are all so lovely. How is a girl to choose? 🙂
Pockets on the outside for phone, keys, etc. so I don’t have to dig is a must for a handbag!
SILVER METALLIC HAIR CALF TOTE is the bomb!
