GIVING AN OUTFIT DEPTH

One of the advantages of having a sister that’s an author is that she is a top-notch book recommender. Is that a thing? lol. Anyway, a few months ago she sent me a book called My Sweet Vidalia, by Deborah Mantella. She asked me last week how I’d liked it and I could have sworn I’d read it. When I pulled it out, I realized I hadn’t even cracked it open. Yikes. Can you see now why I need to slow my roll?

I have always loved to read so I decided to make myself slow down and take the time. Ooh, boy, and I glad I did. If y’all like southern literature ala Pat Conroy this one is for you. You can read the great reviews it received HERE, Now I know how Oprah feels. Ha. What do you think? Should we start a book club?? Comment with one of your favorite books. I’d love to make reading a part of my life again. I am loving this bright and colorful top from Halogen. It is super cute and it is adjustable in the back. I should have taken a photo for you but maybe you can see it on the website, (here.) I ended up sending this top back because it was too big for me (was a size L) under the arms. I am thinking about ordering it again but in the black and orange color. Let me know your thoughts. This has a satiny feel but it is machine washable which is fantastic! I laughed when I saw this picture. I went with casual jewelry but I had thought about going with more sparkly jewelry at first. I FORGOT to take out the sparkly earrings. Lol! In case you are wondering, they are the Mason earrings. I am taking this necklace with me on my trip on Friday to Rosemary Beach in Florida. The Starr necklace is perfect for a vacation getaway. If this doesn’t say “Beach” then nothing does. Lol! I added the 3 tortoiseshell bracelets today. They also remind me of the beach but I have not idea why. They are the Sierra, the Suzie, and the Tanesha. The Starr is one of the items that are in the Plunder Mania. I saw a LOT of you have already taken advantage of the Plunder Maniasavings that are being offered. Things are selling out quickly so be sure to check that out! Just remember to pick a party with my name in it first. I thought that you might want to see that the top is a classic camisole style top. The spaghetti strings go to the back and thread through loops. You can pull them up or loosen them. This is a pretty cool design and I liked how easy they were to adjust. I just received this pair of jeans in my shipment from the Trunk Club. I didn’t even bother to get them out of the bag until the last item. I thought to myself that I already had plenty of jeans and that I am not a huge fan of the lighter color jeans so why even bother. Finally, I dragged them out and put them on. DANG!!! This suckers fit perfect and snug you up in all the right places. I even liked the effect of the lighter color denim. These are a pull-on design which I am becoming more and more fond of. The brand is NYDJ and you can go here to buy them. The dark teal long cardigan helps to ground the outfit. The light color of the camisole and the lighter jeans needed something to anchor the look. I chose to do that with the cardigan and the Dooney & Bourke handbag. The cardigan is one that I picked up at Cato Fashion last year around this time. It is what I consider a fall color. I always think of fall colors as being deep versions of spring and summer colors.
