PAIRING CLARET AND TURQUOISE TOGETHER

Last Friday night I was writing on the blog and also doing a little surfing on Facebook. I would write a little and then surf a little. A lady that I am friends with posted a question that said, “What has happened to Jean Claude Van Damme?” That caught my attention and I started reading some of the responses. Which got me to thinking about the Volvo commercial where he did the famous splits.
Do you remember that commercial? I just had to see it again after I started thinking about it so I went to YouTube and typed in Van Damme semi-truck because I couldn’t remember the name of the trucks. It is the coolest commercial ever and it makes me nervous just watching it. When that commercial ended I saw one on the side that said, Chuck Norris, one-ups Van Damme’s epic split commercial. Guess what I did? Yep, I watched that commercial also and then went back to writing the blog. All of that to say WHY I called my sneakers Church Norris’s instead of Chuck Taylor’s. Lol!!! Moral of the story……….don’t surf the internet while you are writing the blog. Hahaha!I bought this deep claret lattice sleeve sweater last fall at a local boutique in town. I like the uniqueness of the cold shoulder look, it is not so revealing and I feel a little more covered. I think it funny how I feel exposed when I am wearing a cold shoulder top but I don’t think twice about wearing a tank top in the summer. Lol! I guess it is because I feel like the rest of the sleeve is “supposed” to be there. Haha! This sweater is heavyweight and actually a little longer than I would like. Because of the weight, it tends to pull itself down and I feel like it stretches out of shape. I wore it in October with a much brighter color.

I am styling turquoise jewelry with this top today. Let’s start with the bracelet, it has a magnetic closure and is a combination of melon and turquoise. The Jill necklace is the longer necklace and it is between 34-37.5 inches long. It has the daintiest chain and little charms. It is perfect for the spring and summer months that are coming. The shorter necklace and the earrings are part of this month’s Plunder Posse. This has to be one of my favorite Posse sets that I have gotten. I love the color!!! Also, there is another pair of earrings that comes with this set, so go to the highlighted link to view those. The Posse is a subscription service that is 25.00 each month (including tax and shipping) and it will be between 1 to 3 piece of jewelry. You can enroll or un-enroll at anytime and there are no fees involved.I have a pair of stretchy legging jeans on with today’s look. I am not sure which pair I have on with this look, I took this picture the other day and I can’t tell. It doesn’t really matter the brand anyway since there are literally hundreds to choose from. I love my Rockstar jeans from Old Navy because they are affordable and a decent quality. I truly love all the jeans that I have gotten from Kut From The Kloth also. They are a little more expensive than Old Navy’s but they are a great premium jean.

I know a lot of you are not ready for open-toe shoes. The weather may not be quite as nice where you live just yet but it is coming soon. I have a pair of navy suede booties on from Marc Fisher and I love the gold zipper accents on these shoes. Marc Fisher is a brand that I really like and so far everything that I have gotten from this brand has been excellent quality and has held up to me. That is saying a LOT because I am not one to pamper my shoes or clothing.

Okay, I bet a lot of you are wondering about the blog post I did on Saturday. I showed you an outfit that I had recently gotten in from my latest Trunk Club shipment and asked you to guess if I kept the top or if I sent it back. I loved reading all the answers and especially the reason “why” it stayed or was sent back. The answer is……….I sent it back. I did like the top but since I have so MUCH clothing, something has to “wow” me or I have to be able to see me wearing it multiple times for me to keep it. The hand washing part didn’t bother me because I wouldn’t have done it anyway. Lol! Remember, the whole not pampering my clothing part? The winner of the Plunder Necklace is Donna Jones. You should receive an email from me shortly.
