DJ/Radio Producer-turned-Lawyer attempts to dress like a grown-up. Sometimes I comically fail. And I occasionally post fun stuff, like music videos, book-club reviews, or photos of beauty or oddity.
FYI: I was doing this entire blog from my Android phone, snatching moments out of my busy life for quick photos. But I hate auto-correct with a purple passion, so now I'm using the computer for most of the work. I am still using my phone for the photos, though. My photo sizes may be erratic, and the quality isn't stellar. I am not a professional blogger, and do not have time for lots of scenic poses with a great camera. I don't even own a great camera! However, I DO appreciate your continued feedback, even in the absence of photographic artistry.

New jewelry!

Today seems to be somewhat less than a screaming success:



While I was pajama-shopping for my medical leave, I scooped up a bunch of jewelry dirt-cheap on mega-clearance at Fashion Bug. Here's a sneak preview:



I'm looking forward to playing with my new toys. High-quality... no. But I'm relaxing my former snobbishness. For a long time, I only wore "real" jewelry. Lots of silver and semi-precious stones. But now my fellow bloggers must be rubbing off on me!

This necklace really fascinated me:



I don't think I styled it very well, though:



The neckline of this shirt doesn't show enough of the necklace. And I'm not sure if pairing it with that print was too much. Earrings... I was stumped. I tossed on my black glass teardrops, but I'm not sure they went with the rest of this mess all that well. I just couldn't think of anything else.

When I get an outfit really right, I get compliments at work. None today! :(

Ideas?

Oh... and the snow and cold came roaring right back. I was definitely underdressed, and freezing all day!

Top: Alfani from Macy's
Jacket: Great Cavalier via Tallman's in Painted Post, NY
Pants: Lane Bryant
Earrings: Corning Museum of Glass gift shop
Necklace: Fashion Bug

    Love the necklace! I think this wasn't a bad way to style it, just maybe let it show a little more. I do think it works well with prints though!

    I love the array of new costume jewelry! I like variety, and unless you're rolling in cash, this isn't really feasible. So instead I like to throw on new costume jewelry that is affordable and allows for a good selection. I like what you have in your pile, especially the long earrings and the necklace you have on!
