My last 4 days have been spent with my leg propped up and ice packs on my knee. After my acupuncture on Friday I felt better so I went out and walked some at the mall. Big mistake. By the time I got home, my knee was really swollen and hurt like the dickens. So, I haven't been up and out much for the past few days. I had to get dressed today to participate in the linkup's, so this is what I wore on this gray, cool, rainy day. Not that I am complaining because we needed the rain as we have been in a severe drought condition for months.

I don't have on nail polish right now, just a Julep Nail Therapy to help my nails. I think that changing polish as often as I did was causing some peeling on my nail tips. I am thinking of polishing them with a mint green though and probably will. I will try to take some breaks between colors for a while. but now that I am accustomed to having polish on I just feel kind of bare without it.
I told you all that I would report back on the acupuncture treatment. It was very interesting and not painful. I only felt a couple of tiny pricks of the needles (which were very small.) I was kind of surprised at how painless it was. Afterwards, I could not even see where the needles had been placed even though I knew where some of them had been. I did feel better after the treatment and would definitely do it again.

Very clever jacket layering, nicely done!
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope your knee feels better soon...
ReplyDeleteI've wondered about acupuncture, and I'm glad to hear it isn't painful. Hope your knee improves very quickly.
ReplyDeleteThe lapels on that jacket are so cool!
I'm sorry you're in pain! You do look lovely in that outfit. The leopard peaking out is striking.
ReplyDeleteTry to stop by for my new Trending link up!
Ooooh, love the color of your jewelry with the leopard print.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the acupuncture was a success. Is this a chronic knee problem you are dealing with. I love the idea of layered jackets and you've got me wondering if I have any I could try this with.
ReplyDeleteGreat jacket layering! The leopard print really gives some pizzazz to the army green. I'm glad the acupuncture went well, but yowch! I'm sorry to hear about your knee. Feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you're in pain, Debbi! You manage to look marvelous, however : > I really like your layers, and your awesome bracelets. The citrine ring is gorgeous. Thanks so much for linking up to Visible Monday, and feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for speedy healing. That jacket and the bracelets look SO nice together! Perhaps they will have healing powers. :)
ReplyDeletePeople keep telling me I should try acupuncture for my sinuses but I've never gotten around to it!
ReplyDeleteThat is the largest Citrine I have ever seen - it is beautiful and really compliments the animal print of your cute jacket. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThat's some pretty professional layering going on! The two jackets are just BRILLIANT! I love the effect of the leopard print and the green jacket! I hope you are feeling better...make sure not to overdo! Just watch some fun TV and heal! Hugs to you! ~Serene
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping the knee heals quickly. I must say you look fabulous recuperating! I love the idea of layer jackets like that!!!
ReplyDeleteHey there - hope the knee heals up quick and you stop having pain. What a fabulous jacket!
ReplyDeleteI like the layers, the print with the jacket.
ReplyDeleteAre the shoes comfortable? I've looked at JC shoes, the ones that aren't like huge blocks on your feet, but I can't tell if they'd be comfortable to wear.
Oh you poor thing! I hope your knee gets to feeling better! I know all about knee and back pain as I suffer from both! I usually polish my nails for 2 weeks then let them rest for 1 week. You will see that in many of my blog pics I don't wear polish. You look cute. I love your shoes! Kiah
ReplyDeleteYour leopard lapels play nicely with your beautiful jewelry. Hope that your knee improves soon. I have found acupuncture to be very effective.
ReplyDeleteThe jewelry mix with the leopard accents are very cool.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say how much I love the jacket and then I read on and saw that it was 2 jackets...I would never have thought of that. great styling! Hope your knee is better soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're on the mend asap! Love the pops of leopard!
