A black dress and a tie front shirt

In my continuing attempts at getting more wear out of my wardrobe and trying new items together, this is what I put together today. 

I love this dress, however, its so low cut in front and I've battled with that since I bought it.  I've tried wearing a cami underneath, I've tried closing it with a brooch and a safety pin, then I tried these little nylon goodies that clipped on your bra and cover up the gals -  however, I found that they would creep up, stick to my skin with static and simply was not working.  Sigh!

Today I tried it with a statement necklace first, then with a little lace bra but still too much of the gals was showing, so I then decided to try it with this shirt.  It worked the best so far.

THE DEETS :
Dress : Truworths
Shirt : Edgars
Necklace : The Silver Copany
Shoes : Shoecity
Handbag : Gift a few years back from my daughter Taryn

Hope your day was fabulous friends and I do hope you're finding more ways to what you already have.

Monday ... red means caution and The Toy Run

Red skirt with floral tie-front top.

Skirt : Truworths

Top : Free 2 B U @ Edgars

Shoes : Truworths

Bracelets : Charlotte Russe

Earrings : Foschini

Necklace : Freshwater pearls from NWJ (a gift many years ago from my ex-husband)

I needed the cheeriness of this floral top this morning.  I love it's lightweight material.  Again the temperature is expected to be fairly high today so I wanted to be cool.  I'm also pretty tired after a busy day that started with me waking up at 04:30 when Schatz got up to head out to the run and then I was chatting on Whatsapp with my daughter before dragging myself out of bed and getting started for the day.

The kids and I headed to the Run and then for lunch and then from East to West to my niece for her sons 2nd birthday party.  Then back south to home.  All in all a busy but fun day was had by all.

Do you see the box and balls behind me ... those are my collection toward the 'other' part of Toy Run which took place yesterday.  Those are for the Cassie Run will takes place in early December.  Yesterday saw the Toy Run take in over 35,000 toys.  So awesome to see all the bikers with the toys on their bikes.  And let me say, as with any biker gathering, there are some sights to behold ... where you about have to drag your jaw off the ground ... I don't quite get why its necessary to dress sp damn trashy just because you're on a bike?  I refrained, with great difficulty, from taking pics of the sights ;-), so instead, I'll share pics of the fun side of it all.  For your viewing pleasure ....

The start of the day

The bike, the bear and the skull cap all match.



This little dude was too cute with his trailer of toys he was donating.



This gent has no space left of his vest for badges or pins.



Yip - thats a lady biker and what a bike she's riding

The volunteers sorting at the collection point.

The beauties of the day

The Harley Davidson Rig

The 'early morning' photo

That bear with its own helmet on is too cute

Umm ... not sure why there are still toys on this bike?
