Black/blue/white swing dress

Blue leather Coach purse
Black hat with blue feathers from Makowski Millinery in Memphis

This is my favorite purse. I just love this particular shade of blue. I won it in a silent auction at an association event several years ago.

I am really falling down on my blogging about my Sunday outfits.

Red/white/blue maxi dress
Blue Clarks flats
Red Liz purse (I've had it so long that it's practically vintage.)
Red sinamay hat
Red/white/blue bangles

Not to brag or anything, but I looked pretty sharp.

Sunday Outfit, 6/24/18

I had a new dress to wear, which is always pleasant.

Pink/gray/white/black A-line dress
Black flats
Black Italian purse
Black straw fedora with shaped brim and pink feather
Sterling/pink shell pendant
Sterling/gold bracelet
Sterling/gold/pearl rings

I am wearing a super cute outfit today.

Even if I do say so myself. I’m wearing the blue/white tunic and dark blue leggings that I bought at Janice Ann’s. I’m wearing the blue/white hat that I bought at Makowsky Millinery. I have on my new brand new dark blue Clark’s Cloudsteppers. I’m carrying my green/blue plaid Sperry bag and wearing my sterling/gold/pearl rings, my Calvin Begay lapis bracelet, and the sterling bangle I bought on Jekyll Island.

I am a picture of summer fashion. Even though it isn’t even summer yet.

I read many years ago that every French woman had two beauty secrets.

A signature fragrance and a good lipstick. It really stuck with me, and I have lived by that adage for decades. L'Air du Temps has been my signature scent since the Reagan Administration, and Revlon's Blushing Mauve has been my lip color for several years now. I wish I could do a bold red lip, as French women prefer, but I have thin Irish lips, and a red lip color just accentuates that fact.

I've been reading the Inspector Armand Gamache Quebecois mystery novels (they're wonderful). There are parts of them that are very French, and they reminded me of this adage. So I went looking to see if I could find it again. I came close.
