Mother's Day gift on a blue backdrop

My 12 year old daughter made me the most lovely ring, as a Mother's Day gift. What better way to show it off than on Visible Monday at the Not Dead Yet Style blog?




I guess it could be interesting to see the rest of the outfit as well so here you are:







   As you can see I'm trying to show you my new bangle, and not terribly successful, so here's a close up
 




Last week I was so busy that I never got around to posting my outfit photos, so a bit late... Wednesday:






































I had issues with the ISO value again, annoying! But that doesn't prevent me from posting a rear view too:






































On Friday I looked like this for dinner at our friends house:






































With the white pants my Marni bracelets seemed the obvious choice, along with my pearls. My feet are still not alright, so I had to put on my old trainers.























Recently I bought the book Nothing to Wear by Jesse Garza and Joe Lupo. I'm working on a review to bring in one of posts this week, so remember to check in on me!

  2. Oh! I so love the white bracelets in the last photo!!! I too have serious foot issues and often have to wear my sneaks. It's frustrating but we do have to baby them when they're crying. ;)
    I love those flare leg jeans too!

    1. Thank you so much Joni! I saw your black wedges, they look very nice. So far I haven't been able to find Sofft shoes in Denmark, but I'm always looking for comfortable shoes. I did buy new sandals recently, but the weather is not exactly calling for sandals these days!

    1. Thank you very much Terri! The top one is so easy to wear, it's become a go to outfit on weekdays. The jewellery collection from my daughter is growing, and I love mixing them with what I already!

    1. Thank you so much Megan! I find it hard to determine what my style is. As I mentioned I just got a book to help me, but more on that tomorrow!

    1. Thank you Debbi! Well, the white bracelets are by Marni for H&M - and if I could afford it I would by a lot more Marni jewellery, not made for H&M, I just love Consuelo Castiglioni's style.
