Shimmer at Sunset

The gold and burgundy colors in my outfit reminded me of brilliant sunset colors and the jacket has shimmery gold threads, thus the title of this post.

Last week I asked you all about listing brands of clothing shown in my outfits and the consensus seems to be to list them.  I often learn of new companies that I wouldn't have heard of if it hadn't been for information other bloggers have shared with us. 

A couple of you commented that I looked like I was glowing. I think it's the 7.2 mega-pixels and bad lighting! We had some pictures taken at a local studio and I am pretty sure there is no glow. I rarely wear any makeup in my pictures and don't really do much in the way of skin care. I may do a post about products I do like. I think that it is very helpful to share our experiences with products. 


Jacket and Blouse: Chico's
Jeans: NYDJ Jade Leggings
Scarf from Von Maur
(The scarf isn't as bright a yellow as it appears on the screen.)
I cropped this from a photo of
me and my sister taken Saturday.  
We had family pictures taken at Portrait Innovations. The photos were quite nice for the number of photos we received and the number of pictures taken. The last time we had pictures taken was at a professional photographer's studio. Those pictures were so beautifully done and time was spent making each pose perfect.  However, it took a lot of time to get the photos back and the photos were much more expensive. For my blog I sure cannot gripe about my photographer as he doesn't charge me and I know we don't have hundreds of dollars in camera/photography equipment. 

I hope you will share this Visible Monday and Monday Mingle linkup's with all the lovely ladies who share their beautiful selves with us each week.

  5. I like that portrait snippet because it really shows the beautiful highlights and shine of your hair. The scarf is great, especially with all those fangling dangling bits, and the sparkles in your jacket and colour of your trousers really add to that jewel effect. Lovely!

  12. Those fabulous dingle-dangles and sparkly trim would have me dancing all day, and in animal-print shoes yet! Debbi, you look so awesome!! Gorgeous portrait - how lovely to see the warmth of your smile a little closer.

  13. Psh! I think you're totally glowing. <3 You're beautiful Debbi! That is a kick ass jacket and the tassled scarf is awesome.

    I haven't had professional photos done since I was a teen. I graduated early and didn't even do senior pictures, wedding ones were done by a family member. I am also glad my photog doesn't charge me - I'm afraid he'd be terribly expensive. ;)

  27. Please don't underestimate the importance of daily skin care no matter your age. If you are uncertain of how to take care of your personal skin specific needs, please consult a qualified licensed skin consultant or dermatologist. No matter what your age you can have clear and soft skin free of blemish and spots. I am not a beauty professional, I am an attorney whose life was turned upside down when I learned I had systemic sclerosis. I value my skin and take very good care of it; but then I always did but now even more so out of necessity. I encourage everyone to look their best including skin care and clothing. As far as makeup, that goes without saying along with good skin care. You can look amazing with the right kind of makeup and take care of your skin at the same time. Skin care and pride in appearance is just part of the total package of a great looking woman of any age. I do love your blog. :)

  28. Oooh fantastic colours in this outfit, Debbi! The scarves and sequins are the perfect accessories (love them together). You look very casual chic but with a side dish of glitz, my dear!

  38. Wonderful colours! I love the burgundy jeans and that is a fab jacket. Happy New Year!

  39. Debbi, you clearly have fantastic skin, and look much younger than your stated age (we say stuff like that in the legal field...lol). I love the bright jeans and the sparkle in your scarf.

  40. Debbi, I really like the slightly Morrocan feel this out fit has with the little janglies and glittery bits. I am a real magpie and am attracted to anything shiny. But I especially like how the colors work together. I may have to use that color scheme for a painting! And welcome to purple shampoo. I quite like what it does to the white hairs on my scalp.
