This is the first time I've worn a color blocked piece. I'm on the fence about it. Its just ok....I think its going to go into the giveaway box.

The dress is an apartment 9 thrifted dress and the cardigan is New York and Company.

The necklace....is NOT a Lia Sophia piece...yes, I am cheating. But I couldn't resist this Sweet Romance. ;)

The earrings are also Sweet Romance....

This is the casual watch; a Citizen Eco Drive; I wear a mixed metal piece every day, but this version with the leather strap fit with today's outfit a little better.

My NEW wedding ring! My old ring kept losing stones and it was getting annoying to keep taking it for repair! I did have a warranty, but who wants to leave their ring at the jewelers for two weeks every three months? My original ring also has a high set stone that I kept whacking on things...so we decided to get a simple band that I could put on and forget. Eventually, I'll have the stone from my original ring reset in a more secure design....but right now, I'm loving the simplicity of this pretty ring.

In this and the next photo, I am playing with a couple of necklaces to see how they work with a coral top. I wore this top and black trousers to Rose's house on Tuesday to do a Mary Kay makeover for her. I love this delicate 'Vintage Rose' Lia Sophia necklace...but not so much with the coral top.

.....and this necklace, that POPPED with the berry colored top I wore for date night last weekend...is just kind of 'there' with this top. I think high contrast is the key..... Via Spiga boots that I got on super clearance earlier in the year...Love them! Really, they felt as comfortable as house slippers.

And here is the beautiful, blooming Rose after her makeover. I think she looks vibrant and pretty! I'm so glad she let me come over and play with makeup. I loved giving her a makeover that made her feel beautiful!
