This is one of those outfits that looks far better in person than in photos. I think fashion can often be like models; some women who look average in person look phenomenal in photographs, some outfits that look meh in real life look gorgeous when photographed… and some that look pretty fab IRL are meh on film.

I saw someone on another blog style a silk scarf around their wrist and decided to try it. This is a hankerchief-size scarf which made it easier. I liked it, and liked it even better glammed up with some gold bracelets over it.

I was going to return these teal suede Jessica Simpson pumps after getting the blue ones on eBay, but then I realized that I got these for only $20 due to an online sale and thought they were cute enough to keep for that price!

This weekend was pretty gray and gloomy, but we still had fun.  Saturday there was a music festival in the town square – my husband went to take pictures, I went with our daughter so she could get her groove on.  She's a huge fan of live music.  There was a troupe of hula hoopers there and they brought extra hoops for the crowd which was so fun!
