Today's Outfit: Era of Elegance

Today’s Outfit: Era of Elegance

1.17.12

So I took these pictures with the tripod. I’ll never get better with the tripod, because I never use it when I don’t have to! I guess I need to make myself practice with it, but I just get so frustrated! Anyway, that’s why these pictures stink and also why my clothes are so wrinkly. I was running back and forth!! Haha I am sure people driving by enjoyed my show. At least I figured out how to take close ups without it being blurry.

I bought this skirt a long time ago at Anthropologie because they were basically giving it away, but this is the first time I’ve worn it. The top part is like pulled to the side and fits me weird. I probably wouldn’t wear it without something over it. It’s just a bizarre look. But I do love the color of it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this “brooch.” It’s actually a clip no earring, so be on the look out for that! :) My sister in law gave them to me for Christmas because she knows how much I love cameos. That’s why I named this outfit “Era of elegance.” Cameos are just a delightful nod to the past. My mother has a cameo-esce painting somewhere of herself. Also, one of my favorite bloggers, Tick Tock Vintage made one of her and one of her husband that hung on the back of their chairs at their wedding reception. Now they hang above their beds. I know that has a different name than cameo, but it just flew right out of my head!

I just got home from class. I have an appointment at noon and then it’s off to the nursing home. I hope we are still working on the boards today. I enjoy my silent crafting time. It’s kinda soothing at times. I’m actually starting to really get into this activity director thing. Not necessary where I am now, but just in general.
