Visible Monday in Black - What I wore to the Dentist

It's Visible Monday #24! Today I am participating in both Visible Monday with Patti @ Not Dead Yet Style and with Megan Mae for Neutrals Week. I had to go to the Dentist to get started on a crown. Today was the temporary crown and the torture part. I am still numb so my face my look a bit more wonky than normal. I am wearing a headband today inspired by Pam @ Over50Feeling40. This particular headband is known as a Dolly Bow or Bunny Ears headband. It has wire inside it and you can take the ends and make bunny ears, but only if you are much younger than I. I found several different ones at the Dollar Store, so you will be seeing them occasionally. They would be very easy to make and I may try my hand at making a few once I get out the sewing machine and actually do something other than look at it.

Jacket: Jones NY
Lace Tee over Chico's Black Tee
Jeans: FDJ
Shoes: Helle Comfort
Headband: Wired Dolly Bow from the Dollar Store

Bracelet: HRH Collection
Michele Watch
OPI Polish: Pompeii Purple
I would not recommend this OPI polish. I have had it on for two days and it is already coming off the tips of my fingers. I am really enjoying polishing my nails. It makes me feel very visible and very feminine. I have been reading some blogs on nails and have learned a number of things that I never knew before. For example, you really are not supposed to put the polish all the way down to the cuticle. I never knew that. I have also been finding out about the best top coats and the most coveted polishes. The Chanel Peridot seems to be the most sought after polish right now. It is gorgeous! I think I'll wear it tomorrow and try a new top coat that I read about.

Tomorrow I will also start showing some of my Native American art. I started taking some pictures, but they did not look the way I wanted them to so I will try again to get some better photos.

Please visit  Visible Monday and Fashion Challenge Neutrals Week to see what everyone is wearing.

    Too bad the polish doesn't hold up. It's very pretty on you.

    Your nails look really pretty though! Heather over at Heather's Design Blog recommends Sonia Kashunk at Target--its about 5 bucks. I havent tried it yet but she swears it lasts for 10 days. Just a FYI

    Sorry the polish isn't durable. Your hands look very well tended.

    I have to admit that I'm a big headband wearer. It was all those years of my mother telling me I looked nicer when I didn't have hair in my face.

    I love the jacket, but your nails look great! I'm getting ready to lay on the red polish! Once a year unless there is a wedding!
    Have a good week!

    Hi debbi - you can never go wrong with classic black! I've been polishing my nails since I was in my teens. Can't wait to see your new color and art work!

    Great neutrals, Debbi - and I cannot tell that you've been suffering at the hands of a dentist! I am eagerly following your nails adventures, and trying to learn about new products from you. Thanks for linking your lovely image up to Visible Monday : >

    Yikes, the dentist is NEVER fun. Hope your mouth is feeling better!

    I'm loving how much emphasis is on nails right now. I've got some of the cutest ideas for nails pinned on pinterest. Now if I can just make myself try them!!!

    How I sympathize about the dentist-it is the worst. Great minds think a like as I have animal prints today too! Although your chunky bracelets finish off the outfit with such polish. My teens have recently turned me back on to headbands, at first I thought I would look ridiculous, but I really love them. Hope the dentist is not too painful. Stop bu a few times this week, I am showing off some of my Christmas ornaments.

    I do agree with you. I thought OPI was much better, but it does come off easily.
    You look gorgeous to go to the dentist.
    Loving your bracelets.

    Great animal print top! The addition of the bracelets are wonderful and even though your nail polish is chipping, it looks so pretty! You have beautiful nails.

    Love this post Debbi! You said a lot that I want to comment on. I have a skirt like your top. And are those bunny ears new? I have to look into that. I am a big headband wearer -- mostly because I hate having hair hang in my face. Your nails look beautiful! Too bad that it doesn't wear well because it's a great color on you. I finally used my sewing machine for the first time in years! just the other day. I actually went out and splurged on a new one for myself. My old machine was so old, and I had to fiddle with it for so long that by the time I got it working I was tired of sewing.

    Oooh black and charcoal leopard print! Love it. Close up on the headband please! I'm sure you could pull off doing a little fluffed up bow - not sticking straight up like rabbit ears.

    Yipes about the dentist. Hope that's over quick. I need a wisdom tooth pulled. Alas, not gonna happen soon!

    Yikes, I've done a few root-canal-to-crowns and they're not much fun. Good luck with that.

    Hate, hate the dentist! i love the color of your nail polish - Essie nail polish is pretty good and Mavala Top Coat is amazing, a bit expensive but worth it
