A Whole Lotta Layerin' Goin' On - Visible Monday and Monday Mingle

Today I am linking up with Patti at Not Dead Yet Style for Visible Monday and the Bon Bon Rose Girls for Monday Mingle.

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.


Green Jacket: Chico's
Leopard Jacket: Dressbarn
Gold Lurex tee: Von Maur
Lace Tee: Chico's
Jeans: FDJ
Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell

Necklace: Ann's Fashions
Bracelets on Left: Miscellaneous stretch beaded
Ring: Inherited 1950's Citrine from Brazil
On right: Michele Watch, Yurman bracelets
I bought the sleeveless, pale gold lurex tee, which has WAY too low of a neckline and is way too thin, because I thought it might be a good layering piece. I played around with what jacket to wear with it and picked these two when I realized I liked the leopard jacket layered under the green jacket, so that's how I came up with this combo.

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.

Please visit the Visible Monday and Monday Mingle linkup's to see what stylish outfits everyone is wearing this fine day.

    The lapels on that jacket are so cool!

  6. I'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.

  15. I like the layers, the print with the jacket.

    Are 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.

  16. 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
