I had way too many parties this weekend but it was a great opportunity to get my shine on and snap some pictures. It was my girlfriends oldest son Aaron's gradueighteen party so you know I had to jazz it up.
I was strolling through my favorite store, Anthropologie looking for some shorts as it's been all up in the 90's lately; talk about hot! Came across these cuties, they were originally $78 but I picked them up for $40. I was having a hard time paying $40 as I figured they should be $20...because I'm cheap. They're "Daughters of the Liberation" which I think might be something special but I have no idea. They're high wasted and high wasted looks good on me so that's all I knew at that moment. The shirt was a total fluke, it was just hanging there by it's lonesome waiting for me to pluck it from that rack. It was originally $98 and I got it for $20 bucks, that's what I'm talking about. My girlfriend Jes said I looked like a creamsicle; I'm taking that as a compliment.
The cookout was at Wickham Park in Manchester, it was like the woods to me. I'm not an outdoorsy girl but I'll do what I have to do in some situations...this was one of them. My earrings I purchased from Urban Outfitters for around $16 when they were having that 30% off jewelry sale and the brown tortoise bracelets were from my friend Rocio's closet sale last year. The large ring is from J. Crew, got it for around $20 and the belt is an antique from my aunt. The belt was originally gifted to my mother but she wasn't making any use of it so I took it on as my own. It's one of my favorites even though I really didn't know what to wear with it. I now believe I have a handle on that belt, I just need to own it.
I'm never seen without my diamond pinkie ring, I got it at an antique store on New Britain ave. I adore that ring, it's my one staple along with my thumb ring that I'm trying to kick. I don't believe that stylish people wear thumb rings anymore but I can't break the habit of it...it's comforting to have on. The curve bracelet was purchased at one of the West Hartford Day tents. I've gotten more wear out of it now than ever. I've decided that I'm going to start wearing gold and silver together, I'm tired of wearing one or the other. Why can't I have the best of both worlds???!!!
So sorry about the Havanah's, that ground was wet and I was not about to ruin my gold flats. I think it still kind of worked but I would have preferred some wellies because my feet were disgusting when I got home. I'll have to put them on my list of things I need because I am without them at the moment.
