mixed metals

last night there was a bad ass storm that passed
through my neighborhood, which knocked down
fences, trees, and signs and blew trash and limbs
into everyone's yards and the street.
kinda crazy!!
which might explain some of the opposing elements
in this outfit, like the gold and silver together!
or maybe this can be explained by the fact that
I
am crazy.
Not so much the storm!
;)

details:
pants: target
romantic fancypants shirt: victoria's secret
jacket: windsor
shoes: carlos santana (via Ross, no joke!!)
up top!
better view of fancypants shirt:
gold n silver earrings (from mom) (probably avon)

bracelet (gifted from mom on my birthday)

and SURPRISE!
today you get to see my OTHER wrist!
i bet some of you were wondering if I even HAD
another hand!
gold/silver bracelet (mom) (avon) (probably)
the rings you see me wearing i wear every day.
the circle of diamonds around the cross
was a gift from my mom. the emerald
was a gift from my ex-bf's mom that she
had owned for years and thought i would like.

brooch/cameo (vintage) (handed down via mom)
shoes!


i'm not sure anyone has noticed...
but i stopped blow-drying my hair
about a month ago and now i just let
it air dry and sorta scrunch it.
tres 80s.
i hope it doesn't make anyone want
to vomit. it's just too hot here
most days (even in the wee hours of the
morning) to blowdry anything.
we've already had 68 days over 100
degrees this "summer."
which includes officially part of the
"spring." ha!

I mix metals also. I've been trying to get my step mom to also. But she was RAISED on matching.

Just love that pretty corset blouse your wearing today. Under the jacket great for office. After work take the jacket off to go out :)

I like how you mixed the semi casual pants into an outfit like this. It is a great mesh of clothes to make an OUTFIT!

I mix metals every day! I don't know why people are shy about that. I think the hair looks great.
