COLD SHOULDER, STRIPES, AND EMBROIDERY

It is back to the normal routine today. Thanks for the indulgence yesterday, I am sure many of you rolled your eyes when you saw the topic. Lol! I had a fabulous day though answering emails and private messages. But today I have more important things to do like take the dogs to the groomers. That is always an exciting adventure. Just in case you were wondering, that was sarcasm. Lucy Lu, my stray that I have had for about a year, doesn’t like to be picked up. She gets really nervous and starts to shake even though she loves to be petted or sit in your lap. Getting her to sit still long enough to pick her up and calm her down takes some time. Then, with her in one hand, I have to try to pick Beckley up with the other hand. I am well aware that I could do one at a time and take them to the car but then I would have to make two trips. Haha! Driving to the groomers is equally fun. (more sarcasm) They argue and fight over who gets to sit in my lap. Lucy Lu is shaking so violently that she has to sit in my lap and Beckley is the oldest so he has to sit there too. It is really easier when they both are in my lap because then they lay down. Otherwise, they are growling and fighting and that is way more distracting. I told you that I had a cute outfit to show you. I bought this the day my “stalker” and I went shopping from the little local boutique in town. I had already paid and was heading out the door when Kim told me that she had gotten in a few new things. I should have left quickly but of course, I had to see what see got in. Lol! That led to me buying two more tops and this was one of them. I immediately loved the embroidery against the navy and white background. Stripes are huge this year, a cold shoulder is huge this year, AND embroidery is huge this year! Here is your trifecta purchase! This top is from a brand called Now N Forever. I know that Kim had several of these in stock but you will need to call or text her if you are interested because she never has her items on the website. That info is

I really don’t like these close up photos but I do want you to get a good look at the earrings and shorter necklace. These Diana earrings are so lightweight that I thought they were made from a hard plastic but the other day I laid down one of my magnetic bling bracelets down on top of the earring and when I picked up the bracelet the earring came with it. I had no idea they were out of metal. Lol! The shorter necklace is called Rosemary. I really like the different floral design and all the tiny seed pearls. It is a real statement necklace. Plunder has recently added a new feature to their website. It is “Plunder Sets.” They have put the matching items all together and given you a discount when you buy it as a set instead of individual purchases. This necklace has a set and it is called Freesia.  The long pearl necklace is a lanyard called the Noah. I bought this for my daughter in Alaska and she wears it every day! I added the Lulu cross charm because Joe doesn’t require me to wear a name badge to work. Lol!!! It is time for a new party, now we are up to tania10. I NEVER ever thought I would wear red pants. Red was a color that called attention to me and I shied away from that. Boy, how times have changed. I have grown in confidence over the years and found that I like red. I tried it one day and nobody said anything negative to me. I realized that “I” was the one that had the problem, not other people. Now I wear all colors with confidence and that shows. These pants are from GAP and they are made just like the Pixie Pants from Old Navy.

You will see me wear these t-strap sandals a lot this summer. I like the easy and casual look and I like that they slide on and off easily. I hate fumbling with the clasp when I am putting on shoes. This pair is by Tommy Hilfiger and I bought them a couple years ago. They are one of my “go to” sandals for summer.

 I thought you would like to have an up close look at the embroidery. Thanks to all of you who placed orders yesterday with R+F. It was great to be able to share with you the skin care at a discount. It is not always about making money, although that is EXTREMELY nice, it is just as nice to be able to share the love. ❤️
