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! 
My sister went to get her hair cut and colored last Saturday. The minute she walked in the door the lady began to tell her that the color was all wrong for her. She went on to tell her that she was wearing colors that we not flattering to her. All this coming from someone she had never met before. Lol! The lady whipped out some swatches and began to tell my sister that she thought she was a summer and show her the color range she needed to be buying. My poor sister HATED almost all the colors. Finally, the lady told her she could wear navy and gray. The funny thing is, I have been trying to get my sister out of black, black, and black for years and she pays me NO attention. A complete stranger tells her that and she goes shopping to buy new clothes. What is wrong with that picture? Doesn’t she know I have a fashion blog? Doesn’t she know that when she goes shopping she is supposed to say “WWTW? Lol! 
I just had to show you these earrings. They are too cute! They were part of a Plunder Posse set and I fell in love with them. They are way larger than anything I would have picked out for myself but since they were part of the set I received, I decided to try them on. It appears I was guilty of not stepping outside my comfort zone too. Tip for all of you out there, give it a try and if you don’t like it then you can take it off. Haha! If you are wondering what the “Posse” is, it is a subscription service for a monthly surprise. The cost is $25.00 and that includes shipping and tax and will include 1 to 3 pieces. You can unsubscribe any month when you do not like that month’s items and then just re-subscribe the next month.
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.
I have shared with you gurls my love of color and also my love of Plunder jewelry and Rodan and Fields.I know a lot of you have expressed interest in Rodan and Fields but are holding off because of the price. I was right there with you so I COMPLETLY understand. What if I told you there was a way that you could purchase the products for yourself at cost, you could own your own company, and you could decide it or when you wanted to sell the products? There is, and the best thing is that it only will cost you $45.00!!! Here is the downside, though, there are no products in that cost. The $45.00 will only give you the ability to purchase the products.
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.
