LACE DETAILS
We are all creatures of habit and they can be hard to change. I laugh about my hairstyle all the time. I will take a picture to my hairstylists and tell her that I want the cut in the picture. She cuts my hair and styles it like the picture and I just love the look. THEN, I go home and wash my hair and style it exactly like my old style. I am not sure why I think the result would be different because it’s not. I end up looking the same way and nothing like the picture I gave her. Lol! 
Turquoise was the choice for the day. Turquoise has been my choice for months now, I am addicted. Lol! I just love the bright pop of blue, it makes me happy. The Loudene cross necklace is perfect! I like the length and the style because it is great for a casual outfit or when I wear it to church. The turquoise cuff was a special but I can’t remember when, and I added the Tiffany pendant. On my other arm, I have on several bracelets. The pink one is Broedrick, the middle one is the Eunice, and the bottom one was the Gage which is now sold out. I have to laugh at this picture because I was trying an experiment last night. I decided to see if my Reverse Accelerator Lightning would work on my age spots on my hands. I scrubbed and added the products which took off my faux tan. Ooops, I forgot to reapply my tan to my hands. Lol!!! At least you can see how well my tanner works, I am always trying to find the silver lining.
What do you all think about this top? Truthfully, I am undecided. I loved the top in the store because of all the lace details. The hemline is GORGEOUS!!! But I have worn this before and I deleted all the pictures because I looked like a Cow in them. I decided to give it another shot today and I am still not loving the results. However, I got several compliments on the top. Do you think they were just being nice? My problem with the top is that I think the arms at the top look too tight and then the bell sleeve starts and also the puckers at the bust makes you look big in this area. You would think that because I am not large in that area I would like that, but I don’t. It is probably going to go on the not going to wear again shelf. (I do have on a camisole under this)
Today’s jeans are skinny jeans because they were clean. Lol! I wasn’t feeling like boots or heels (gasp) so I went with this cute ballet cheetah print slipper instead. This pair is a year or so old but this print is still very much in style. Mine are by Isaac Mizrahi and they are really comfortable.
Are you retired or planning on retiring in the next few years? What if this little side business of mine could help you? Partnering with two of the most famous doctors in the world is pretty unreal! What would you do with the extra income? Almost all of you have said to me, “I am not a salesperson!” Well, good!!! Because I am not interested in a salesperson. “I don’t want to post on FaceBook.” FINE! Do you have a telephone? Have you ever heard of picking up the phone and “talking” to some one. Lol! “I don’t have that many friends.” For just today I want you to count the number of people you meet that has “skin.” Those are the people who could, and probably should, be using Rodan & Fields. Everyone does not need an extra source of income, but for those of you who do, 45.00 is an awesome deal to start your own business.

Being a bit of a home dressmaker I would myself chop off part of the sleeve just below the first band of lace. This would give a more slimming effect on the sleeve and solve the problem. Shame to waste such a gorgeous shirt!
I laughed when you said you try a new do and when you go home and style it yourself it’s the same as always. My daughter is my stylist and I lucky because I couldn’t afford her otherwise! LOL So you know she does my hair and it looks fabulous. Then when I try the same old hair style just comes back! I guess our hands only work 1 way! And I love the lace details on the hem of the top but not crazy about it otherwise. The color doesn’t do your skin justice.
What self tanner do you use/like? Agree top = “give away bin”. ?
I absolutely love the top!! I was hunting for a link for it, but didn’t see one. I love it! Looks gorgeous!
I think the outfit is darling. I really liked how the muted shade worked so well with the turquoise. I never noticed anything wrong with the top until you mentioned it. You look very nice to me.
Love the animal print shoes and the turquoise jewelry!
That’s funny! I take YOUR picture with me to my stylist! I love your hair and am still trying to get it right. LOL.
I like the shirt, I like the style, but I agree – it is not as flattering on you as others you have had shown. “this would be, a comfortable look”, like my husband says when he doesn’t like something or thinks it looks “frumpy or unflattering”. And no I am not saying that of you, it just looks nice and comfortable. I think a darker color would be better. Just my opinion. Love the jewelry as always. Have a great night.
I like the top it’s very cute, I also think its the color. If it were a different color I think you would like it better. But its’ still very pretty on you.
