Your dress and Alma are lovely together. I would wear that dress with sneakers! Like the Adidas pair below. I have two pairs of them.

I wear a dress & sneakers often, but especially when I travel. The dress because I don’t like to wear jeans/pants abroad, and the sneakers for comfort. Here’s an outfit I wore two years ago on a trip to Japan:

I'm a dress wearer as well - and have recently figured out just how comfortable Adidas are. My latest additions to footwear include two pair of Sambarose sneakers - they are super comfy and a little less athletic looking than trainers can be.

This has been a good sales month for everything but bags. I’ve sold 2 Tiffany’s bracelets, a desk, a set of 3rd row car seats, an area rug, a St. John suit and a bunch of Star Trek memorabilia. But, no bags (I have 5 for sale) and none of the more expensive jewelry (about 10 pieces). :huh:

I’m surprised something significant didn’t go for Valentine’s Day.

Oh well. These things go in spurts. Mother’s Day is the next good selling opportunity in the US so hopefully most of these items will be gone by the end of May.

For those of you selling, how is it going? :smile:
I finally relisted some items on the bay after a few weeks off. I tweaked prices a bit and have plans to get some more photographs done this week to list some more wardrobe items next weekend. Hopefully some things will move! I keep going back and forth on how worth it it is to sell clothing but I've got some cute dresses from Toast UK as well as a cashmere cardigan which I really don't want to just toss to the donation wolves.
 
We are a bunch of goofballs. LOL! In my family we may actually give each other chocolate teeth. :lol:

Those are actually regular Reese’s (not Reese’s pieces) hearts - a lump of yummy peanut butter inside the chocolate Oddly, I hate chocolate but for some reason can tolerate it on Reese’s :shrugs: The Godiva bag had white chocolate fruit kebabs (I still picked the white choc off and ate the fruit. Lol!) and the Grand Luxe box had a butter cake. Yum! But, now my sugar monster is awake and I gotta go cold turkey this week. :hrmm:
Hahaha! Yep. So glam. They'll surely feature us in Vogue with my sophisticated Hello Kitty PJ’s and Mr. S. in his super sexy grey thermal long undies - snoring on the media room sofa, faces smeared in sticky cookie crumbs. :lol:

I put on the bracelet and tried to take pics but, evidently, my iPhone is not set for “jewelry mode”. LOL! Bags it can do so well. Jewelry? It always misses the sparkle and detail. Oh well, here’s the best I can do and you’ll have to work with me to envision its super sparkle.View attachment 4344981It really shines which makes me super happy! (I don’t know if you can tell but, my manicure is super sparkly too Lol!)

You can see that the bracelet is waaaay too big. Probably by at least an inch. I’m sure they can do something with the extra that I’ll love and I’ll share pics of whatever comes. But, it’s fun for every day work / casual / errands so I’m not blingy.

We’ve made good progress on my every day sets. So, I’m going to focus Mr. S on the tennis bracelet upgrade I want for my bday in Sept. :graucho:
I love that bracelet!!! It looks like it will wear very comfortably once you have the size adjusted. I hope some nice earrings come out of that effort - they would be beautiful!

The bracelet is gorgeous! What a bonus to have small wrists, so you can get extra jewelry out of it!
 
Thanks for posting these pics. The dress-with-sneakers look is one I’m going to try to do this summer. I’ve started to hate wearing shorts, but I love sneakers and wear them all the time (well, not now that we’re in boot season, but the second it warms up enough I’ll be in sneakers again!). It’s the dresses I’m not used to wearing. I’m pretty casual and live in jeans. So my goal is to get a few casual dresses this spring/summer that I can wear with cute sneakers. If anyone has ideas for casual dresses, I’d love to hear them!
I should try it too. I used to wear casual dresses a lot in the summer but I haven't for years. Last summer, I kept saying I was going to get a few casual dresses but never did. I don't like wearing shorts.

It's not as good as last month. Last year, I had a St. John dress up for sale - it took over a year to sell! I sold an Irish sweater for a lot more than I expected. I've sold a few SLGs - two of them I had listed for a long time so I'm very happy they finally sold. I haven't sold any of my bags.
 
Gorgeous bracelet!
Thank you!
I love that bracelet!!! It looks like it will wear very comfortably once you have the size adjusted. I hope some nice earrings come out of that effort - they would be beautiful!
Thank you!! It’s very comfy. I sold off all my bangles but one and I’m thinking of selling it too. I don’t find bagels and cuffs to be comfortable though I love the look.

Thank you! I’m curious to see what they can do for me.

Yes! You should get some this summer.

IMO, dresses are cooler in hot weather and easier to wear. Shorts require a top and can fit oddly. You just slip a dress over your head and voila! Dressed!

i sold a few over Dec/Jan holidays period, and now it's dead frozen and stuck :(

I just sold another bag. So, it’s ok for me.

I love Reese!
That bracelet is goregous. So is your ring!

What are you thinking for tennis bracelet upgrade? I keep contemplating getting one but it has to work with my 3 love bracelets since my other arm is reserved for my VCA bracelet or watch. I have held off getting one cause them seemed dated but now they seem popular and I am dated (older!) lol. It would be a great gift from 10th for our 10th anniversary in a couple years since I am not interested in a ring upgrade (love my original ring and can not imagine replacing it).
 
Wow, I’m not really into green bags, but these are gorgeous! :love:
I could not imagine owning a green bag until I got the bambou. I think it works so well since I wear a lot of black, blue and pink and it is a complementary colour. It works all year round too. I just avoid red with it except at Christmas time I wear with a red wool coat - go all out with Christmas theme! It is my example of you really don’t know what colour will work or sing to until you actually use the bag.
