BOX PLEAT AND RUFFLES
I hope you are having a wonderful Monday. Monday does get a bad rap just because it is the first day of the work week. If you love your job then Monday’s are not that bad. If you are retired then you might not even be aware that it IS Monday. Lol! I know when I am on vacation or if I take a long weekend break that I will start to forget what day it is. I have often wondered how you would be able to keep up with the days once you retire. Some of you will have to give me some insight because I am clueless. 
I am on starvation row today. I have a diet of clear liquids so that means I am able to eat broth, jello, popsicles, apple or white grape juice, sprite, etc. That means the DREADED colonoscopy is scheduled for tomorrow. I have heard lots of stories about this procedure from, “It is no big deal” to “It was the worst procedure I ever had and I will not ever have it again.” So, I am expecting something in between those two remarks. I had planned on taking the entire day off and coming home to the privacy of my home. But, that is not going to happen. I forgot that we moved the date we do payroll and I HAVE to go to work and do that. I think there would be a mutiny if I didn’t go in. Now my plans are to be at the hospital by 7:00 am and I don’t plan on going to work until around noon. That will give me plenty of time to do the payroll so let’s just hope my body cooperates.
I am loving this very classy looking top. It is thick and rich feeling. This is made in a boxy style so there will be no bumps or bulges showing. The box pleat ruffle adds elegance as well as feminity to the look. I love that this top will be one that you can wear all year long. I have it styled with jeans but it is dressy and would look great with slacks also. This was the second item that I kept from my Trunk Club shipment. This is also my favorite item that I have gotten from any of the shipments that I have gotten from Trunk Club and also StitchFix. It is by Halogen which is the brand of the other top (HERE) I kept from this shipment. This top comes in black and red also so I am including a picture of those for you.
This is one of my favorite sets of Plunder jewelry. It is over-the-top gorgeous!!! You can purchase this as a set or individually. This necklace is as bold as they come. It is called the Natalie. If you can not wear a heavier necklace then this is not for you. I am surprised that I can wear this necklace because I normally can not wear anything heavy. This can be dressed up or down, it is up to you. I even wore it on the beach. (HERE) The matching bracelet is not as heavy and it is called, Flora. The earrings are the Lacey. They are not heavy either so I am not sure why the necklace is so much heavier. 
I am amazed at how well you can see the grain of the leather on this purse. The tassel is what really makes the purse but it is really thick and very nice even if it didn’t have the tassel. This is by GILI and when I first bought the purse I had never heard of that brand. Remember, I am isolated from any “real” shopping so I am not privy to a lot of brands. I have several purses made by this brand and some clothing items also and so far I am exremely pleased with all of my purchases.
The dark jeans are the Diana from Kut From The Kloth. They were is a StitchFix box that I got and I have worn them soooo much. I love the darker color and they fit me like a dream. I know that jeans are a hit or miss with most brands but Kut From The Kloth seems to hit way more than they miss. I am linking a misses, plus, and a petite version for you. I like the darker wash color because I think they look dressier than the lighter wash versions.

You’re not going to believe this, but my mother is doing the same thing with the broth and jell-o today! Her colonoscopy is tomorrow morning too. I’ll be sure to tell her you’re also doing this, so it will make her feel better! I absolutely love this outfit and jewelry!!! You’re hair is so pretty and has major fluff! Wish I could get my fine hair to pouf out that much! ha Good luck tomorrow!!!
Good luck to your mother. Mine was really fairly easy. I have lots of hair and it is course, that is why it is so puffy.
Ugh…I need to have the “C” word done too. I’m sure it will be no big deal for you. You look beautiful as always
Beautiful outfit! Good luck on the colonoscopy, I’ve had 3! It does not hurt and it’s the best nap you’ll ever have! Plus very good preventative procedure- I’ll be thinking of you!
Love your top! What is the fabric content of it, please? I’m interested unless it’s all cotton – I’m so “over” ironing! Haha!
Love the top. Your jewelry choice works great. I like the whole look. ?
So pretty! Take it easy!
They put me out with a twilight drug. Can’t lie, I wouldn’t want to do math a couple of hours later. The procedure wasn’t bad and I don’t remember a thing about it.
Haha! I told them that they had better check their paystubs really good. Lol!
You better hope they don’t load you up with too many loopy drugs!!! Payroll may become real interesting!!! Some of those drugs linger…good luck!!! This is how my retired folks determine which day it is…Sunday is the day the big fat paper comes & you go to church, all the other days are Saturday to them!!!!
All days are Saturday but one. That is wonderful!!!
I agree with others that the test was easy but not the prep. But it’s worth it to know that everything is okay, or if it’s not it’s good to find that out too. I’m praying for good results for you. Great about winning that TV!! Love this top.
Good morning! I always think that whatever outfit you have on is my favorite as you are such a beautiful lady, but you’re breathtaking, today! There’s STILL nothing like a crisp, white blouse!
LOL!!! I wore this jewelry set to Church, yesterday evening! Even our Priest ❤️d it!!! Father is so much fun!
I hope you have a great Monday! Hope everything comes out, okay, tomorrow! Congratulations on your trip and TV! You deserve them AND so much more! ?
I love crisp white also. It looks so classic!
