Fashion Fridays ~ From ~ Deb's Closet

Welcome to Fashion Friday's hosted by Fifi, at Fifi Flowers Design. I love how she's included anything that you may think is fashionable instead of just clothing. This is a post I did a while back as I also hosted a Fashion Friday but it never really took off. I'm so glad that Fifi has organized Fashionable Friday's because now I get to participate in something I think is quite fun!!!!!

Let's start with the accessories, today I'm using Ralph Lauren's Romance, I always use this Par fum for shinny and glittery nights. I'm also using Silver and Pearls as my jewelry selection. As my friend Connie would correct me to say faux Silver and Pearls because they are not real. Okay! LOL! My shoe choice is a Pewter, peep toe, with a buckle for added interest, 32.00 on sale.

Today I'm going to revisit an outfit. It's one of the outfits I bought while in Macy's during my Fashion show and today I'm showing it with the accessories I've chosen. Actually this jewelry is Silver but, I guess it is mirroring the brown in the top, and giving off a gold accent. I have paired the top with my white linen Bermuda shorts. The shoes are also taking on that goldish hue but, that's okay I love how it changes for the outfit.

I couldn't get a good picture of the necklace, it shows as gold, and it's totally silver. I was drawn to this necklace because it reminded me of the coin jewelry from long ago, and I loved how the weight and shape of it shifts to one side instead of being symmetrical.
Do you remember the jewelry that was like nickels, dimes and if I'm remembering correctly it was buffalo head nickles. Sometimes clothing would have chain belts that also had these coins. I can remember having a red plaid skirt that had one of those belts. This necklace and earring set is by Jordi's European Collection.

Here I'm honoring my friend Nikki Crumpet's request to model an outfit this time. Hi Nikki! Just for you!

Here I used my denim shorts shown last week with the pink blouse. The denim dresses it down a little but, not much so this could still be worn on a nice dinner date.
I must confess a weight gain of about 5 pounds but, I'm still trying to maintain the inches I've lost but I'm beginning to feel a tightness in my clothes. Monday my friend Mary in Texas and I plan to start the Slim'n 6 exercise program together. Pray for us. :O( I wish there was something I could love about exercise, I'm dying just thinking about it. Anyway I'm going to eat everything in sight this weekend getting it all out of my system for next week. LOL!!!!

This is a close up of the shoe, I have not been able to find a purse that I think would be perfect with this shoe.

But, I thought that maybe I could get away with this white bag with this out fit because there's white in the outfit. What do you think?

Remember this?

Well, I thought I'd wear this outfit for you, it's also from a previous post.

This concludes this Fashionable Friday's post, I hope you enjoyed it and will join me again soon. I'm finding that that closet of nothing, is really full of many options. Just pick a shoe and search for the things that will go with it. You'll find you have more than you think. Then take a picture of it for future reference because you will forget how you've pair it.

I always enjoy it.:)

You might pair the striped shoes with the striped shirt. Are the the same color? Love the gold shoes.

Praying for your grand baby. That's great news.

I've posted a What Not To Wear.

Hi Deb...I'm still chuckling over the head gear fashion I thought you were wearing in a couple of photos...then you stepped aside a bit and I saw it was a wreath on the wall...LOL...everything was lovely and that is a good tip about taking photos of match-ups!
Good news about Baby Alex...someday you'll marvel at how small he started out and what a big, strong man he became.

Deb,

Savannah never married. She has a hard time fitting in... I love the name!!! Read French's post. I gave Savannah some real history. I love the character... she can be Savannah's paternal grandmother. I think that would work.

Heck woman...you sure can work them bermuda shorts. And lets not even talk about those gorgeous shoes!!! I'm so glad you modeled the clothes...its so much easier to see how the outfits and accessories really come together. And you have a great eye for that kind of thing. Besides that you're beautiful so it makes the clothes even look better. And I'm like the others...at first I was like...whats with that funky hat! lol Thanks for humoring me....I know putting on the clothes is a pain in the butt...so I appreciated it!

Deb said...

You ladies are cracking me up about the hat thingy. My husband said the same thing when he was taking the pictures. I told him not to worry about it, that you all wouldn't think it was a hat, and I was *WRONG* LOL!!!!

PAT said...

Hi Deb...You look so great! Loved the outfits.

I've been sort of out of the loop a tad so I need to catch up with you on what'sbeengoing on in your life!

Angela said...

sequin shoes are totally trendy now. : )

Chanda said...

Love your necklace Deb, I have a similar one I bought at the market in Hawaii. It is coin shaped shell and has a bronze effect. I think you are a very elegant lady with exquisite taste in clothing. Your children and husband should be so proud. No "mom" jeans here. You inspire me each week. I have voved to not buy any more clothes this fall and make do with what I have. I need to be more creative and put things together like you do.
