Corde, you look fabulous. I love the knot. How do you fold it? Thought I could try a variation of it for my Jaquar quetzal csgm.

Really I'm just pottering since I still can't go out I did some gardening, washed my hair, played the piano and read a diary I have never read for 20 years (dear lord what drama, but I did soooo much. Seems like I used to work on my art and myself like crazy, or maybe it was because I was crazy that I had to.)
Anyway belated DUT or dress-up Friday
I didn't wear the necklace in the end
I thought I'd wear one of the dress purchases mentioned in my diary, it was pristine 1970s vintage then. Sorry for the wet hair (and when did this shirt dress get so tight?!?!).

There is a Society of Jewelry Historians in NYC. Google them. There might be some other links but I think that is the primary one. I don't live in NYC, I just admire it from a distance.
That ring and the way it goes with the dress is an amazing combo. Close-up of the ring, please?
I missed the elephant bracelet story. If you have a link to the tiffany item, please share.By the way everybody, I took my Elephant bracelet back to Tiffany. Kept the yg pearl fringe, mesh earrings though. Slight impulse buy for me, I only happened to see them when searching for more elephants, Quite 'feminine' looking for me but sometimes I'm into the form fitting LBD, high(ish) shoes and yg jewellery and/or pearls (DH has a thing for Dolce Gabbana corset dresses - but then I'm guess most do ha ha). I thought these could go with yg or pearls (or on their own).
Feeling a bit better today, thehelped too and I planted lots of things in the garden, hanging baskets, old metal buckets, an even older chimney pot. I also did some 'flower arranging' with twigs of rosemary (and stuffed a chicken with some more).
Here you are. It a Gucci 'Anger Forrest' ring in Large. They may have some left, there's also a black enamel world now too but I'm not sure I need anymore animals on my fingers he he.

It was to go with this elephant
Oh you flatter me. I have no tying skills. The scarf is just folded in a triangle with the ends slipped in a trio ring. I always anguish over whether to put the horizontal ring at the top or the bottom. ha ha
Great pattern and colors. The nail color is a nice touch. On of the things that is fun about DUT is contrasting other people's clothes with my own. I realized that other than silk blouses and a few floral dresses, everything in my closet is a solid color. Noticing these differences is option stretching.
Deja vu all over again.
Took the previously posted picture this a.m. Started out the door and was shocked that it was hot. Switched to a lighter weight top, same scarf--different tie. I figure posting 2 today excuses me from night week. Right?
Then at 4 pm put on my slob clothes (black tee and shorts) to go to happy hour at Mexican restaurant. I knew the salsa would be making dive attacks at my clothes. If I didn't drip it, DH would spill or sling it. Zero point in wearing something I care about. But hey, put a twilly around my neck, so that made it dress up. And a twilly is a much more difficult target for the salsa than a 90 would be. Do you ever wish bibs would come into fashion? Maybe teflon covered Hermes bibs?

Have to make it fit for the weather and what we do. Had we been Edwardian ladies we would be changing our clothes very few hours. Beautiful colours Cordie
Any food EAMAYL or happy hour events are anxiety inducing for wearing scarves, I have to take mine off, a full chin to floor bib or overall would be a great idea.
Haha, thought you were going to show me something elaborate with layers. My knot knowledge is in the negative numbers
I bought one and returned it. I loved the way it tied and the material. It would have been great for my casual lifestyle. The reason I returned it was the colorway was a pastel one and I go more for vivid colors.
@momasaurus has some losanges. May she will weigh in.
