Lots of green. Lots and lots of green.
But not only! What else?
This! Look what a wonderful surprise I received in the mail the other day - two glass beads bracelets and this long necklace! I was actually thinking about finding a long necklace, and a colorful necklace - here I have two-in-one! It was a gift from lovely Shawna, who not only blogs, writes stories and paints flowers, but surprises her friends with unexpected presents. Thank you, Shawnochka! The colors will go with so many of my outfits, and I will love and enjoy wearing them! But more than anything, I feel loved and appreciated - and that is priceless.
I'm taking my shoes to Sheila's Shoe Shine, and hope some day I can take them to a dance floor where I'm sure they will be right at home! Erica agreed! You see, I wore this outfit on Friday, the 27th, when I got a fresh haircut at Erica's - so next time you'll see me with a little different hair. Will I surprise you? We'll see.
Wishing everybody a very happy weekend! Feel loved!
Sincerely,
Natalia

OH Natalia I love green and I do love it on you! That shawl is gorgeous and if I saw it I would buy it without hesitation. I'm glad you like the baubles. I just new they would work with your wardrobe. Your shoes are one of my favourite styles. I am never sure what they are called, being a sort of heeled oxford but with a cut-out style on the top. Do enlighten me if you know. And wear green often! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you, Shawna! I'm not especially educated in styles or fashion terminology. Beate will come and enlighten us all. I think of them as mary janes.
DeleteThey are a sort of cross between an oxford and a Mary Jane. ;-)
Deletesorry girls - i don´t know any word for that kind of shoes beside of chic and beautiful :-)
DeleteHow wonderful is that? : )
ReplyDeleteYou look great and you have the best collection of comfy looking shoes ever.

I give away all the brand names of comfy shoes - use that invaluable knowledge! :))) Thank you, Suzanne!
DeleteNot sure it is definitely spring in MN yet, but I'd cheerfully say it was so in that outfit. Great look.
ReplyDeleteSending you Spring sun to MN! Catch with the first plane! Big hugs!
DeleteThose shoes steal my heart! They're gorgeous and I bet you'll be wearing those a lot. Love your shirt dress too and the color is dynamo on you. I'm loving this weather too!
ReplyDeleteSo cute that you thought about me riding my bike in Burien. Did you guys try that drive down 152nd and down the hill around through the woodsy neighborhood all the way to Puget Sound? You'll love it if you haven't done Three Tree Point already. We will have to meet up one of these days now that the weather is getting better. ;)
We will have to try it! Last night, we were so hungry and ended up at the Turkish restaurant, it was amazing - homey, yummy, funky atmosphere. I had a glass of French red wine, it was soooo goooood! :)
DeleteMy parents are leaving soon, I'll have much more time and will be so happy to finally meet with you. :)
Love the green dress, so pretty with the shawl and your new gifts !
ReplyDeleteI also loved it in the more wintry version. Love the detailing on that shoe!
Hoppy spring, I am so glad it is nice!
Gifts are treasures , aren't they? Just like friends..

All the colours and shades in your outfits are always so wonderfully coordinated. Love your pashmina, so beautiful. And how great the necklace/bangles gift is! Suits here perfectly.
ReplyDeleteYour posts always make me feel good. This green dress is perfect for spring, but I loved your previous stylings with the ultra-cool shoes and your burnt orange coat. You nailed it about gifts - it's the feeling that goes with them that's best, even when the gifts are so beautiful themselves.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing your haircut! And hearing all about your night out dancing!
