Turquoise and Purple two of my favorite year round colors

Please excuse my wet hair today. I had a limited window of time to have my DH take the photos.

I know some of you say that you never find anything at Chico's. My problem is that I find too much. The three quarter sleeve denim jacket is a new Chico's purchase that will be great to wear with sleeveless dresses so that I can cover my arms. 


Bracelets from L to R Picture 1 Dillards, Art fair, Michele Watch, Etsy,
Picture 2: Gift, Art Fair, Silpada, Art Fair
Necklace: Chico's (I have worn this necklace a lot. It is a summer favorite.)

Jacket: Chico's
Belt: Chico's (It ended up off center.)
Dress: Target Mossimo
Shoes: Think Black Patent
Harry has decided that he likes to be in the photos.

I have been thinking about Pam's Foundational 5 post at Over50Feeling40 and I think I have the first 3 of my foundational 5.
  1. Versatility: I should be able to wear it with more than one outfit
  2. Maintenance: It should not have to be ironed or dry cleaned. I do not want to iron every day like I did when I was working.
  3. Really, Really Love it: It should be something I really love, not something pretty that is just a bargain. ( I am really guilty of buying things that seem to be bargains, but are really not since I might only wear it once.)
I am still thinking about my other 2 and I will post them as soon as I decide.

I have a wedding to attend tomorrow at our local botanical garden. I think I may wear this dress and jacket to the wedding instead of the dress and shrug that I had planned to wear shown on this post. It is a casual wedding and this is a comfortable colorful dress.  I am hoping I might be able to take some photos of the gardens.

  1. Hi Harry!

    Love your jewelry, the colors are so pretty. I am with you on ironing, sister. I smooth things out on the bed and maybe, give them a squirt of water. : >

  2. I have only come up with one of Pam's criteria--creativity. As you probably know, this year I am thrifting all of my clothes--I generally take a good hard look at Chico's items when I come across them. Looks like the new jacket fits your three criteria.

  4. Your colors are some of my favorites too. And that jacket is great. Chico's is a great place. Especially for jewelry.

  5. Your label is perfect - you have accessorized very well with this cute outfit. I love your jewelry. I am a big fan of bracelets and worry that I will never get to wear even a tenth of what I own. I'm going to try layering them like you did. Thanks! (Your hair looks good even wet.)
