Glitter in the air on a Visible Monday

"Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?" is a line from a song "Glitter in the Air" by Pink. She is probably my favorite female music artist. I watched a concert of hers last night on TV. It and my glittery pink finger nails inspired today's post. I know that women of a certain age have been told not to wear glitter nail polish by the AAFP (Age Appropriate Fashion Police.)  I adore seeing glitter nail polish and I am wearing it regardless and enjoying it. Mine is hot pink with silver glitter. The pink polish is Samantha from Julep and the glitter is Sparkling from Revlon. It looks more orangey in this picture, but it is a true hot pink.

Hooray, I finally found a bow blouse that I have been wanting for a couple of months and a bonus is that it is polka dot which I also wanted. I was thinking I would never find one my size. The jacket is one of my very favorite jackets and it's from Walmart. It just goes to show that a well made stylish piece of clothing does not have to be really expensive. I wish that this picture was clearer to show the lovely details of this jacket. I also found some cherry red cords. I was beginning to think that I would never find red pants. A bonus is they were 40% off at Talbot's.
Jacket: George from Walmart
Blouse: CJ Banks
Jeans: Cherry Red Cords from Talbots
Shoes: Payless
Pins on lapel & pockets: Vintage Rhinestones

Vintage Brooch, It looks better in person, not so discolored.

Please keep an eye out for this jacket in dark blue.
It has soft shirred fabric on the lapels and the pockets.
 When I bought this jacket, it also came in a navy blue. If any of you who thrift find it in navy blue in a size 18 and it is in good shape, $10 or less, get it for me and I will pay you for it and the shipping. I wish I had bought it. I know you aren't supposed to buy multiples, but I have gotten so much good out of this jacket and I know navy would be a wardrobe staple as well.

I am participating in Not Dead Yet Style's Visible Monday. Please stop by there and see all the lovely participants.

For those of you who gave me excellent feedback on the sweater set I requested advice on--I decided to take it back. As Margaret said, if you have any question about it, it probably was not something you loved. She was right. I did like it a lot but it did not zing like the richer more jewel toned colors do on me. I don't regret taking it back at all. Thank you all for the great advice!
