Pearls

This is a better view of the necklace I wore in my previous post .... I think I will wear this one often.

Pearls and polka dots

My sisters and me met for our Sistas dinner and celebrated Mothers Day since we are all mothers, at the Mugg and Bean.   The meal was great,  the service excellent and the company insane.

 

For work I wore my newish Mr. Price mens polka dot shirt.  I still need to alter it a little but will need to be inspired to do that.   I teamed or with my new pearl necklace,  basic black work trousers, red blazer and pearl bracelets.

Leopard print pencil skirt and white

Despite this skirt doing the twist the entire time I wore it last, its behaved really well today – it may have been doing the twist due to the shapewear I had on underneath. 

I much prefer the leopard print with colour as opposed to plain white.  When it’s colder, I’ll definitely have to wear it with my red blazer (although its chilly in our offices, it would be too warm at this point).  I wanted to wear my yellow and gold necklace for a pop of colour, but then all the pieces slipped off and I just did not have the time to string it.  I have a sneaking feeling that someone had tried it on, the pieces had fallen off and they’d put them back on, but then not realised that the pieces were muddled.  Initially I had restrung them, but then when I was attempting to clip it, it slipped so the pieces fell off – ah dang, so I grabbed the pearls.

I can’t believe that its already Thursday – is it just me, or are the weeks whizzing by at a frantic pace for anyone else?  Tonight I have lots of editing to do … the real job starts now and I still need to finish the photos of my nephew and children.  A colleague also asked me to take photos of him for a website … we’re going to go outside at lunch time tomorrow and snap a few – any practise I can get is worth it.

Well friends, that’s all for the moment … hope your Thursday is stunning.

Black and white on Monday

Do you remember where I previously mentioned that I found myself wearing a black skirt or pants almost every Monday?  Well, I make a concerted effort not to wear black on Mondays.  I know that the reason I reverted to it time and time again is that I didn't have to think too  much and was ready to roll quickly. 

This morning I started with a much different outfit in mind and then decided that the pants were too tight so went with something else and this top was the first thing I saw.  I took it over to the wardrobe where my skirts are and then saw this skirt which I'm sad to admit I have not worn in months and was avoiding it as it is a little tight over the hips, but since I've lost a wee bit of weight, I decided to see if it fitted a little looser ... and it does, just slightly, but far more bearable when I tried to wear it last.

I don't think I've ever worn it with this top and I can't think why I wouldn't have as they're a match made in heaven with my black court shoes and the belt with the gold detailing, which I must add I also have not worn in ages.

I had to head back to the optometrist this afternoon for them to complete the quotes.  Boy, its an expensive business.  Co-payment on mine is a small fortune!  However, trying to get the payment to go through proved to be a mission.  We agreed that since I'm going back on Thursday to take Liam for his test that we'd process it then.

I'm looking forward to my new frames ... they're purple!  Would have loved it if they're had the same frame in black.

Well ... as they say at the movies ... That's all Folks!   Hope you've had a fabulous Monday and a great start to a wonderful week.

Pretty things

My daughter bought my sister a string of pearls very similar to these above ... they're so pretty.  I however am personally working towards a string of real pearls ... I have freshwater pearls, but I have always dreamt of real pearls ... just the right length, size and colour.

In the meantime, I'll enjoy looking at these.
