23 Jun Blue Crochet and DNA
I know you might be wondering about the title a bit. Well, my sister in law bought me this really cool looking necklace one Christmas, and it literally looks like strands of DNA. I thought it was so neat, as I do like reading medical info, and did so especially when I was first diagnosed with an illness. The colors intertwined in the necklace is what also makes it quite interesting, as there are purples, blues, greens, mixed and strewn throughout. I love pieces that are original. I have always loved medical shows: Dr G Medical Examiner, Forensic Files, Cold Case Files, etc. I love real crime stories, always have. So, whether that was the intention or whether it was just a pretty, light reflecting piece of jewelry, doesn’t matter, it is just unique! The cobalt blue with the crochet detailing looked comfortable and I realized I do not have a single piece of this color in my wardrobe, so I thought I would give it a try. The sandals are from the Clark’s Artisan line, again, another pair of comfortable shoes I purchased new on Ebay.
This look was just my going- out -for -breakfast look, as I had a craving for crab benedict that is made so well here in Charlotte. That, fresh fruit, and a Mimosa started out my day the right way! Then it was off to Target to prepare for some family arrival. I don’t know about you but food shopping exhausts me!! I do have to let you know that besides enjoying the fashion I present, I promise you my post are bound to make you hungry this week! :-))
Have a great week!

Posted at 15:16h, 23 JuneI love this color on you! And crochet is one of my favorite trends for summer. I hope it continues into the fall. I just read that you live near Lake Norman. That is one of our favorite places. We used to live in Spartanburg and we loved the lakes and mountains. I miss it daily. Blessings! Susan
Jess Jannenga
Posted at 17:13h, 23 JuneThank you regarding the color. I do like crochet and lace. Yes, we feel fortunately living near the lake, and I hope to take out a boat for this year’s Bday. Glad you enjoy it as well. We love to camp and so the mountains here are beautiful. I will have to get some mountain shots in the fall.

Posted at 14:54h, 23 JuneWhat a great dress in such a divine color. Your whole look is very “resort chic” and I have no trouble envisioning you with a Mimosa in hand, enjoying a leisurely brunch.
Now I have to go do an ebay search for Clarks Artisan shoes, because I need more shoes (not!).
