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.

I love a bag that has pockets on the outside ti put cell and keys, also color and sturdy handles and soft leather.
I love your Mighty Olivia bag! How clever. I often lean toward bags with practical cross-body or shoulder straps. Anyway, I hope your daughter feels better soon – and gets there hence quick. It has been agonizing slow, awaiting her arrival for sure! I dearly hope it’s in time for Thanksgiving!
A matching wallet ?
Gotta have an outside pocket for easy access to the phone. I prefer zipper closure, and like multiple pockets on the inside. ?
I travel a lot! I look for a handbag that makes me look like a million bucks, even when I have jet lag-and has pockets!
I love a handbag that zips to be closed!
Another beautiful bag today! I tend to gravitate towards larger bags, so I always look for one with both inside and outside pockets so I can find my phone and keys easily. A zippered closure is another must have.
Love a beautiful color and inside zip pocket!
I like a roomy bag without dividers!
Love the gray jacket. I did not see the purse in snakeskin yesterday or the removable pouch. Love it! I also look for a comfortable should strap that will stay on and a soft leather. I need the purse to be light so I can put more stuff in it! LOL
