Bling From the Vaults

This was an outfit I wore between Xmas & New Year's Day, but didn't get a chance to post then. My husband & I went to an engagement party for one of his distant cousins who was in town from London (along with a lot of extended family). I like to dress up for these things, even when I know most people will be in jeans & tees. This is *my* dressy casual.

What I wore:
Black T-shirt with corsage detail, NY & Company | Black & white striped cardigan, Chadwicks | Hot pink skirt, NY & Company | Black tights, Calvin Klein | Black T-strap pumps, Aldo | Pink dangly earrings, gift from Sarah | Black cocktail ring, random accessory store

These earrings are super-cool but freakishly heavy. I can't wear them for a full day or they'd stretch out my ears!

    I've never understood why they can't make heavy earrings that are somehow better supported when you wear them.

    Love the hot pink.

    I bought a jacket (and am wearing it tomorrow) that made me think of you. It epitomizes "Goth" for me.

    The skirt has a very flattering cut. The earings are lovely too bad that they are heavy.

    I know! These earrings are solid hunks of glass, but perhaps the heaviest glass known to humankind. Weird.

    Thanks! I think I'll get a lot of wear of this skirt (a new purchase, mentioned the other day).
