HOW TO ADD A TOUCH OF METALLIC

Happy Hump Day from Day Mountain in Tennessee. I made the trek for the 2nd time in less than a week to Tennessee. This time I am at least staying longer than 1 hour before I turn around and head back to the house. Lol! Unfortunately, I don’t get to stay too much longer since I have to get back home to do end of year at the lumber company. This will be the first time that we have done the end of the year since we got a new computer system so this could be interesting.As of this writing, I don’t have any plans for New Year’s Eve however, that could change at any time. I think Joe’s sister’s family is coming to the house so we might actually do something. I can’t wait to see Pryce, my nephew, and get the “low-down” on his trip to New York. Pryce has recently signed with a modeling agency, the same one who signed Naomi Campbell, and he went to New York a couple weeks ago for his first photo shoot. Talk about exciting!!! I am going to be all ears. I told him that I plan on coming to his first runway show. Cross your fingers that it is actually in the US and not overseas. Lol! I’ll make him take some pictures with me when he comes to the house. Maybe he can give me some posing pointers. Can you imagine being 16 years old and being signed as a New York model??? Because I knew that I would be traveling and taking pictures is really really challenging, I decided to do a Trunk Club series. Trunk Club is a subscription service by Nordstrom that I am loving. It cost $25.00 for the service but you get that amount off your first purchase. When you sign up you can pick the amount you want to spend so you don’t have to be worried about getting $300.00 shirts if that is not what you can afford. You also tell them how often you want to receive the shipment, I get mine monthly. My trunk shipment had 13 items in it including jewelry, shoes, shirts, pants, and sweaters. You give them a brief description of your style and even link your Pinterest boards so they know your style. Each month when I send back the items that didn’t work for me I give them a reason why so they are getting better and better each month. I liked this trunk the best of all of the ones that I have received. This sheer metallic floral top is super cute. It has tiny silver metallic threads that run through the pattern and that gives it a small sparkle. The ruffles at the hem of the sleeves are another really cute detail that makes this shirt stand out. Because I had requested size large items and then kept returning them because they were too large for me they sent me mediums this time. As you can see, this top fits me perfectly. This top is very sheer so I decided to wear a silver lace camisole under it from Maurices. Almost all of my camisoles come from Maurices because they are not skin tight. I also like that they have cute details like the lace and that adds to the look of the outfit.I don’t have a lot of jewelry on with this look, only my Alex and Ani bracelets and the Amari necklace from Plunder. I thought the floral pattern was enough so I went simple today. My pants are a pair of Earl Grey jeans that I have had for years. I love skinny jeans so that you can tuck them inside of your knee boots. Plus, if an item fits closer to your skin it actually makes you appear thinner than items that bag or don’t touch you anywhere. Crazy I know, but true. Everybody needs a pair of basic black knee boots. This pair is by Bandolino and I have had them for several years. While I am traveling I threw in a pair of brown boots and a pair of black boots and that is all. I figure that one of them will match almost anything that I packed.

I am continuing the incentive from yesterday on some Rodan + Fields products BUT I am also adding a new twist today. Purchase the Redefine Intensive Renewing serum (my sister’s FAVORITE product) which retails for 99.00.
