I went to Florida to visit family over Thanksgiving. I feel like I could get used to that. It’s definitely harder to get the holiday blahs when you can wear shorts next to a Christmas tree.

I don’t think that purse has been on the blog before, even though I’ve been using it a lot. I have to give credit to MrB for selecting it while we were in Paris this summer. I was examining the style in black, but MrB got very excited about gray and it was definitely the right choice. I love it!
When I wasn’t lurking by holiday decorations in Florida, I worked on maintaining my pallor while at the beach. A hat, big sunglasses and an umbrella are musts for me.

I came home in time to attend the Women’s Jewelry Association holiday party, where I got to see lovely jewelry peeps including Cheryl Kremkow, Jennifer Heebner, Beth Bernstein and Hannah Connorton. I wore a vintage Jacques Tiffeau dress that I’m very fond of.
What Wendy Wore
Dress: Jacques Tiffeau (acquired in 2009; seen in 2009, 2011 and 2013)
Boots: Prada (2008, seen recently here)
Necklace: My chicken-in-the-egg locket
Because I was seeing jewelry people, I got a special pair of earrings out of the vault — my diamond-and-peridot Susan design.
I came home minus the gold squirrel necklace I started out with: I sold it right off my neck to Jennifer! She couldn’t resist the sale price. Now the gold squirrels are sold out but I’ve still got a few silver squirrels available for holiday delivery. They’re on sale for $25. Don’t miss out!
UPDATED TO ADD: I linked this to Not Dead Yet Style’s Visible Monday post. Click here to see the other visible wimmins.
these are some of the sexiest holiday outfits ever!
and i just love a big black hat
Left it there for future use!
The snow is always greener . . . here I am in Florida, wishing for a chance to wear a sweater and boots. Your vintage dress is fabulosa!
I never did like the cold, though I’ve always lived in the north!
MrB sure has great taste in bags. If my count is right, you’re averaging 1.5625372037464 bags per year as gifts from him.
I love those zippy tops you were wearing with the shorts. It’s also nice to see the green dress out and about! Would that be lime? Pistachio? Peridot?
Your math is excellent!
And I think it’s lime 🙂
Excellent shorts / mesh jacket holiday looks – up top is candy with your turquoise skull, and the greys and black hat are so elegant. Your peridot earrings are amazing with that dress!
I just love those sunglasses…so fun! xoxo
Thanks, Paula!
Always a treat to see you in your lovely things! I’m forever glad to see you representing grown up and successful women with so much talent, beauty, real charm and unerring style. Fabulous, always. Good luck with your holiday season sales!
OMG, what a sweet comment. Made me day!
