Today is the vintage fashion show in Marietta. We spent most of the day on Friday getting into “shopping” mode by doing a little shopping. I refer to this as the training mode. My day started at the crack of dawn with my mother in the kitchen deciding to wash the dishes, really really loudly. She was banging and making an awful racket. I got up somewhat grumpily and walked into the kitchen an asked her, “couldn’t you find a set of drums?”We got dressed and then set off to the Estate sales. I am a junk monster at heart and I have to really make myself not bring home more things to pile up in my closets. After that, we went to the town square to have lunch, which was awesome. There was a small boutique we had to walk past on our way back to the car and you know that I HAD to check it out. When I was checking out, my sister decided to announce to the owner that I was a fashion blogger. I don’t think he was very impressed which must have ticked off my sister. She then started to tell him all my stats and she might have made me sound better than I really am. Lol!!! Anyway, you just wait until you see the cute purchases I made. As a teaser, I will tell you that a snake print and fur is involved. I bought this burgundy peplum top while we were in Charleston at the Ann Taylor outlet. My problem area is my middle and normally this is not a style that I would purchase. You can’t see very well but there is a band that goes right around the belly. I actually tried this top on before I left the store because I was just sure that it wouldn’t look good. I was really surprised that it fit and even looked pretty good. That just goes to show you that sometimes you need to try on items before you make an assumption.
The multi-strand leather and gold disk necklace is the Rhiannon. I loved how the leather just matched my cardigan. The Jaycee earrings are 3″ long and I am loving the longer earrings. I guess it is because my hair is getting longer because I have never been comfortable wearing the longer earrings before. That is another example of going outside my comfort zone. My bracelets are the Ashlyn and the Celine. Monogram jewelry is still a huge trend so you can’t go wrong buying things like that for Christmas presents.I am not sure this is the fashionable thing to do but I decided to wear a pair of socks with my peep-toe boots. I thought it looked fine but you gurls can tell me the truth about what you think. The suede w/fringe detail ankle boots are by Marc Fisher. These are really cute and look great with jeans or even with a dress. This pair of jeans is really skinny. In fact, they are very similar to jeggings. This is a pair that I have had for a long time. They are by Earl Jeans and I think I bought them at TJ Maxx. My crossbody purse is one that was in my first StitchFix box. I kept this one because of the stitching and the tassel. I don’t carry it very much though since I prefer larger purses but I still wanted a small one for shopping trips, etc. There are just times when you don’t want to carry the kitchen sink around with you. Lol!
You probably know that I love Alex and Ani bracelets. I am not sure if you know why I love these bracelets. The biggest reason is that these are what Rodan + Fields send to you when you promote in the company. Each one represents a different level, the blue one is Level I, the topaz is Level II, and my brand new bracelet is the amethyst, which is Level III. I am so thrilled with what these represent. This represents a lot of women who gaining confidence in their looks through skincare. This represents women who are starting to actually experience aging backward. These tiny little bracelets represent how one decision can change your life and all of the lives of the people you come in contact with. I would LOVE to talk to you about the products which can change your looks or the business which can change your life. Email me if you would like to learn more.Here are my personal results after using the Active Hydration Bright Eye Complex for 3 weeks. I can see a difference in the puffiness of my eyes. I never even thought my eyes were puffy until I had to take the before pictures. I debated on showing these to you. For one, these are not the most flattering pictures of me, and two, this is only after 3 weeks. Some people will have much faster results and some will have slower results. Everyone has different skin and it will react differently. My sister swears she can see the difference, what do you think?Have you ever wondered why I would ask you to sign up for my email subscription? I know that you may access me from another way like FaceBook or Instagram but “brands” like to see a large email subscription list. So, I am asking you to sign up if you don’t mind, it would really help me. The comment section is at the end of the post, so keep scrolling.
