WEARING BRIGHT COLORS WITH BLACK
 Yesterday was one of those days where you seem to work and work and get nothing done. I left home with two things that I wanted to get accomplished at work. Mind you I said just two things but guess how many things I got done? NONE! I worked all day on one task and still didn’t get it finished. I can hardly wait for tomorrow. Lol!

I feel like life is like that sometimes. I seem to chase my tail and I never can catch it. The issue today was brought on by the new software. It was implemented in the middle of the month so half of my work is on one system and the other half is on the other. I spend three times the effort to get anything done right now. I keep telling myself that things will get easier and eventually work out but there are days when it really stresses me out. By the end of the day, I was ready to pull my hair out. Lol!

[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CICwZ01bT3w[/embedyt] I wore this dress earlier this year. I loved this dress by Halston so much that I even went back and bought it in yellow. This dress fits like a dream. It has some spandex in it so it fits snug but it doesn’t cling. So it drapes nicely but it doesn’t show my belly bumps. The high low hem line is wonderful and usually flattering. I say usually because I don’t care for the shoes with this outfit. Lol!

 The necklace is called the Jenna and it has the same cloth dangles. The stones on this necklace are an assortment of different colors so this will look great with anything. For some reason, I keep thinking how cute it would look with a denim shirt. Don’t forget the great Plunder sign on incentive that is going on right now. You sign on for 99.00 and you get 9 pieces of jewelry and all the supplies you will need to operate your business and until the end of the month, they are gifting you an additional 7 pieces of jewelry and a tote.

 At least I was bright and colorful, imagine how I would have felt if I had been in only black or gray. Color does help my mood, well at least most of the time. Haha! I bought this adorable kimono while I was in Alaska. Ashleigh and I went to get pedicures and they had a little boutique in the shop. It would have been rude not to have shopped just a little since they went to the trouble of putting it in the shop. (Joe didn’t buy that excuse either ?) The kimono is by Umgee, a brand that I buy a lot of items from. They had three of these in the shop when I got there and before we left they were sold out, they went that fast. I bought the small/medium size and it is PLENTY big. I like these kimono’s to wear as bathing suit cover-ups also and this one will match almost anything. Lol!

 I have had two smart ladies take advantage of my Christmas in July deal so far. They already love the products and now they want the best possible price for them. They will be looking gooooood and so will her bank account. Lol!

*******UPDATE********
While I was sleeping Rodan and Fields announced a DEAL! They are temporarily out of Lash Boost so the special they had with a 20% off of a regimen and Lash Boost combo had been put on hold. I figured that they would come out with a different special and they did. R+F just announced a FREE travel sized Regimen when you purchase any full sized Regimen plus a bottle of Active Hydration Serum!!

I agree with you on the shoes, they don’t do anything for the outfit but they’d probably look good with jeans or capris. I usually can’t get into the hi low hem look at all, but I have to admit I really like the dress in yellow!
Love the jewelry. I too am hooked on kimonos. They are so versatile you can wear them with anything. I need to check Plunder out. Haven’t been to the site for a long time. TGIF!
Love this look! Even love the color of the shoes, just not the clunky style! I have that dress and love it. So many ways to wear it. Keep rockin’ – you are very stylish!
I ordered this dress the last time you wore it and would wear it every day if I could. It is comfortable and did I say slimming?? Thanks for showing it in another way.
I love the way you model your clothes, thank you for all your hard work .
I love the colours you have going on here. I wonder about white skinny jeans with those shoes and kimono.
I purchased this dress after your first post on it. It was perfect for my recent cruise and I am continuing to wear this summer now back at home! Love this look with all the colors!
Totally love the outfit, but agree that the shoes are too colorful and too clunky for this look. But you knew that, which is why you asked us to confirm your opinion. You know we tell it like it is!
Colours are fabulous. And I don’t agree; the shoes are absolutely perfect! I myself, am not a big fan of the high/low hems. I know they are popular now, could be because I feel better covering my knees.
I love that you added in so much color Tania!! I think it’s a perfect way to summerize the black!!
And I have those shoes in nude—aren’t they so comfy??
XOXO
