For a Christmas eve cocktail party, I am adding a sweater, shot through with silver threads, silver dangly earrings and a cherished bracelet. On Christmas Day, I have a comfortable coral, cashmere sweater and for a New Year's party, a sparkly golden, tiered top (hard to describe, but very pretty.) These pants are so versatile that I hope Santa brings me a Chico's gift card so I can buy another.<br /><br />Have a wonderful holiday.Kristien62https://www.blogger.com/profile/04141776821818167047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-464307449961944472016-12-22T09:31:58.319-08:002016-12-22T09:31:58.319-08:00Our daughter collects all kinds of jewels!

Definitely this is the season for adding some bling, and some heavier perfume. I like Mitsouko, but my favorite winter perfume right now is Coco by Chanel.<br />I never wear black. Except I just bought a black dress. I guess never say never! I will see how I feel wearing it. It would be nice if I liked it because it is so much easier finding basics in black.<br />Hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

I wore black brocade (with silver threads) trousers (new for the occasion-we were told it was a suit & tie event), wine drape-neck shell blouse, black vegan leather (yeah, pleather, but high quality) waterfall jacket, black vintage store Oscar de la Renta low heel shoes, gold & silver bead vintage store clutch, rhinestone earrings, black &silver bangles. I was happy I was comfortable all evening.<br />For my job I wear lots of color. My classrooms are in a basement, one with no windows, and I need color!
