Ruffles & Stripes

Good afternoon all!  So it's back to the old grind after a 4 day weekend and I'm coming down with a case of the creeping crud - ugh.  The good news is that I only have to tough it out and be brave 3 days this week - I think I can, I think I can...

I've been experimenting with mixing elements in my outfits lately.  I needed a cami for under this top (to prevent any wardrobe malfunctions) and typically would have reached for a solid color since it already has ruffles at the neckline.  I'm always aware of not having too many embellishments going on at once but I reached for the zebra - and it worked!

I didn't want to wear a necklace since there was already so much going on there so I piled on the chunky bracelets instead!


The gold one with the pave "diamonds" is from a boutique over in Philadelphia, the gold chain link one is from Charming Charlies, the white one is a vintage EBay purchase from Leru, and the gold oval link is Liz Claiborne - all different but they do look lovely together!

Here's a close up of the detail. 

I could wear all black every day and did for a few years back in my 20s.  I'm just drawn to it and it really is slenderizing but I make the conscience effort to branch out with other colors but I do still love me in black!  Is there a fav go-to color you've always been drawn to or do you dabble in all the colors of the rainbow?

Casual Sunday...

Good evening friends -  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!  I'm so sleepy - the hub and I went to the midnight showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show last night with Dawn from Suitcase Vignettes and her hub and I didn't get to bed until almost 4:00 a.m.!   I'll have to get some pics posted soon...

I had some errands to run today so I figured I'd make an outfit post while I was at it.  My latest obsession has been with vintage jewelry - more specifically, glass bead vintage jewelry like this hand knotted milkglass necklace I bought on EBay.  I love the feel of the glass beads because they are so smooth, they make the neatest little "click click" noises, they have a nice weight to them and they are always cold so they feel nice on a hot day!  I've been collecting quite a few pieces lately and currently have my eye out for a vintage, black, faceted, glass bead, flapper-length necklace!

Top & Jeans:  Fashion Bug
Shoes:  Cole Haan (via Goodwill)
Jewelry:  Vintage milkglass necklace (via EBay), white vintage bracelet (Leru via EBay), turquoise & silver bracelet (Kohl's) and ring (thrifted)
