PORT WINE IS MY CHOICE
I am one busy lady. I am going to use that as an excuse for being crazy. I am sure most of you were busy last week with going to the grocery store, cooking, cleaning, and all the other 400 things you needed to get done. I was so proud of myself for juggling all the balls I had in the air and being able to get everything done. I had even been writing things done in my planner so that I could see what needed to be done. Once I had completed that task I would highlight it to know that it was done. Then I got an email that completely through all my efforts out the window.
I am sure most of you have seen where I have been having Pre-Sales, Black Friday Sales, Small Business Saturday Sales, and Cyber Monday Sales. That was a lot of sales and incentives to keep up with so I wanted to try and keep good records. I decided to try to get everything done the day after the sale was over so that I didn’t get confused with the next coming sale. One of the sales I had required me to write refund checks to 5 ladies. I wrote a thank-you card and sent out the checks. Unfortunately, I didn’t pay close attention to the address on the envelopes. The emails started coming in telling me that they had received the checks. They were just not theirs. Lol! I managed to send out the checks to the wrong people. Hahaha! I finally gave up and told them to all just tear up the checks and I would re-issue more, hopefully to the right people. Remember, I am a busy person. That is my story and I am sticking to it. Lol!!!
This is one of my favorite outfits that I have worn in a while. I love the colors!!! I wore a vest similar to this the other day (here) but the colors are really different. Because the colors are so different I don’t even think they look alike even though they are the very same vest. The bright turquoise and the deep purple go great with the beige/tan background. I simply picked up on some of those colors and created an outfit around them.
I love the Loris earrings. Originally they were part of a Posse set one month and everyone loved them so much that they brought them back in the Spring catalog. The turquoise dangles really grab your attention and the large cut out disks make a statement. These are not for the faint of heart because they will draw attention to your pretty face. These are only a 2.5 drop but the size of the disk really makes them stand out.
My pants are Mid-Rise Pixie Pants from Old Navy in the color rolled oats. I love the way the Pixie Pant fits but you might want to order two sized the first time you order to get the fit you are looking for. I normally buy my regular size if I am buying the Chino version but I size up if I am buying the version with spandex. They tend to fit tighter so that is why I size up. My ankle boots are also from Old Navy. These are the sueded side-zip boots in the color called New Taupe. These are surprisingly comfortable to wear and I do not have any problem wearing them all day long while I am at work.
I think that only leave my gorgeous turtleneck sweater. This color is so deep and rich, I think that is what attracted me to it in the first place. This is a wonderfully thick sweater by Louis Dell’Olio. It is a gorgeous color called, Port, but it comes in several other colors. I like the fact that it is a longer version than what I have gotten in the past.
Signing up for my emails would make a great Christmas present to me, either that or a Louis Vuitton tote. I will leave the choice up to you but I can tell you that one of them will not cost you a thing and the other one requires a small bank loan. Lol!!! This time of the year is when people go shopping, have a family get together, go to parties, etc., in other words, you quit reading blogs as much. My heart drops when I see my reader numbers go down. (Insert crying music here) So, do me a favor and read me daily, tell all your friends, and save yourself a ton of money. You can spend all that extra money on your sweetie.
I am really trying to gain readership and subscribers. When I hit 10,000 subscribers then I am going to have a huge celebration with lots of giveaways. Tell your neighbor, your friends, or even your enemies. Lol! Let’s get this ball rolling. To subscribe you simply enter your email address in the box in the upper right corner of the blog.

Beautiful outfit and beautiful you!!! Love the cross necklace. Is this the same cross you have that came with a tassel? I really want one!
Love your outfit and especially the wine colored shirt! That color looks great on you! You always look “put together!”
That colour is exactly the colour of the trifle my mum used to make, l suppose it was called port wine jelly after all. The Jewel colours are so striking in a world dominated by black clothing, just lovely. It will be 35 degrees C ( about 95F.) here today and it’s still only November so no boots and polo necks for me.
I am actually swooning over that vest!!
That vest though……LOVE!
You are totally rocking this outfit Sister! I love the colors too. I’m glad I have someone like you in my life that loves to wear colors. So many women wear blacks and grays all the time. – Vonda
Lookin good in those colors…I LOVE purple too.
Love the outfit those colors are beautiful you look great!!!
What a beautiful feminine outfit! That port color looks great on you and I love the billowy fringed scarf in those colors! I never know how to wear things like that but you do it well! None of my booties are comfortable so I should try these.
Hey we all make mistakes and most of us aren’t nearly as busy as you are!
Those vests are so, so beautiful. I think you have a real gift for color, and being able to choose the right color accents to go with other things. For instance, when I look at the vest, I don’t really notice the blue, so it probably wouldn’t occur to me to choose the turquoise blue accessories–I’d probably be inclined to stick with the wine color. But you see it, and it really makes the outfit. I’m trying to learn!
Good morning! You’re right, the outfit you have on is exquisite! You look totally long and lean! Your slacks and matching booties, seamlessly, make you look like a runway model. WOWEE
ZOWEE!
YOU look fantastic in burgundy!
