Dress #13

Today (4/13), my friend took me shopping at the mall to find jewelry to wear for the wedding.  We just went to the one down the street from my apartment.  I wanted to get silver jewelry that had purple amethyst stones or accents.  Joe got me a heart amethyst necklace with diamond accents for Valentine's Day one year and I really wanted to wear it for the wedding but the chain's so tiny that it doesn't really show up in pictures and it just looks like there's a purple stone floating on my neck.  It's something I never really thought about but you need jewelry that's going to show up.  I'm not big on huge/exaggerated necklaces so it's tough to find something that's simple enough that I like but fancy enough for the wedding.  I decided I wanted to find a bigger chain that maybe had a few white stones in it and attach my purple heart charm to it.  For earrings I'm pretty picky too because my ears are pierced unevenly.  If I wear anything besides a stud or dangly earrings, one earring is noticeably lower than the other or hangs off my ear.  I found a perfect chain that was exactly what I wanted at Macy's.  It was a silver chain with white stones on it.  I also found a pair of silver amethyst studs.  There was another pair of earrings I liked that were white and amethyst stones in a leafy design but they were some kind of other metal so I wasn't sure about it.  I'm allergic to surgical steel.  If I wear earrings made from it, it itches and I get a red rash on my ear so I have to wear gold or silver.  I'm really happy with what we found though and the best part was that all sterling silver jewelry was 50% off.

I wore my casual jean skirt to the mall.  It's the first one of the three that my friend had given me as a hand me down.  I love it and wear it all the time.  I don't actually know the maker.  It just has a logo that's hard to make out.  It looks like it says Fzi.  It's 53% ramil, 20% cotton, 25% polyester and 2% spandex.  Size L.  Made in China.  It's so cute and comfortable.  It has pockets with buttons on the back.  I wore it with my white New York and Company ruched tank top.  I got the tank at one of their sales.  It's a size XS.  95% rayon and 5% spandex. Made in Indonesia.  But I can basically wear anything with this skirt.  I usually go with tank tops and my ballet flats.  The last time I remember wearing it was in October when I went to MOCA in downtown LA, but I'm sure I've worn it since then.  I probably just remember MOCA so well because I have a picture of it to remind me.
