Left is Thursday, Right is Friday-- bad hair day
Not exactly the "Goddess" look I was going for... I've come to the conclusion that, as my body is right now, these draped-neck beauties need a jacket over them to keep me from looking like a Christmas tree:
I wish I could have found my black jacket for Friday's look, but it's MIA. Oh well, at least I got one more wear out of the white one before dropping it at the cleaner's.
I really chose both of these tops for their details:
The black-and-white top's print makes me feel like I'm in Greece, rather than Appalachia, New York. That's right, kids... I live and work in the northern Appalachian mountains. It's terribly entertaining....
I love the fabric of the blue top, and the rings are a nice touch. The puffy part is from when my tailor took it up, but I think it looks kind of cool. But I may stitch the rings up a bit higher. The black thing at my bust is actually a bandeau top from Maurice's, so I don't flash too much cleavage at work. I really don't want to give the judge a free show when I bend over the table taking notes....
Thursday's earrings, to match the black-and-white theme:
This is a super-old photo, my hair doesn't look like this any more. But I forgot to take a newer pic of the hair flower that I wore on Thursday, which I love:
Friday's earrings, picked to go with the ring detail on the bodice:
I have no particular love for these shoes, but my pants are too short, so these are the only ones that minimize the "flood" effect:
Night court on Thursday, so no Zumba. Crud, it's my favorite class! Did my weights on Friday, I better put a buck in my Skinny Clothes Fund before I forget!

Why is a big girl like me wearing petites? Short torso and arms... "petite" is a proportion, not just for skinny folks!

Silver earrings: Premier Designs
Jacket: Kasper via consignment shop
Pants: Lane Bryant
Shoes: Nine West, I think I got them at a yard sale about ten years ago.
Love the hair-flower: very exotic. And both tops are attractive with those nice details. I don't know female-sizing and never understood the concept of "Petite"; thanks for educating me.
ReplyDeleteBTW, and I hope you don't take this wrong, I find your shape to be very attractive. You look like a woman, by which I mean you have natural curves and the shape we see on ancient statues. When you mentioned the word "Goddess", that's what I thought of: classic female beauty.
Your post comments are so funny sometimes; you make some wry, funny observations.
ReplyDeleteI like both outfits. I really love the hammered silver earrings and the flower in your hair.
I love that blue top on you! The details on this top are very nice and really, this royal blue color looks great on you! The flower accessory is very flattering. I have to start embellishing my mop of curls with cute stuff like this! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the royal blue top!
