This is what I wore to lunch with my son and his new girlfriend today. I received Anthro's Palisades Belt ($10) in the mail last night. I had no idea I would love it so much when I picked it up on Pop Back.  I'm particularly partial to the rich color of the leather on the front. So what better than to put together an outfit this morning that centers on this belt.

Anthro's Palisades Belt Reveiws HERE. Available on eBay HERE.

How do I put together an outfit on the fly from a belt?  I hold it up and pass it over my dresses.  At which point I settled on Anthro's Waffle Weave Dress by RicRac in rich Deep Plum.

See my alternate style for the Waffle Weave Dress HERE.

See tons of fun styles on totally cool Anthro Bloggers HERE.

I found two listings on eBay for the Waffle Weave Dress HERE.

The seller is asking for the original $118 for the dress.  That's crazy business if you ask me.

I added Anthro's Tree Rose Cuff in Lime to bring out the Green in the Palisades Belt.  Funny that my Review was at the top when I Goggled the cuff.  He-he!

I bet you are all just dying to hear about Camden's GF.

In my last Post I mentioned that I wear my Bowed Lacerta Mary Jane's often.  This will make twice in one week.  When I saw the November Catalog and the Tegu Platforms I did a double take. 




The Tegu Platforms by Schuler and Son's not Miss Albright

 I find them very similar to the Bowed Lacerta's by Miss Albright. The color combination is intriguing.

The Bowed Lacerta Mary Janes by Miss Albright

I have no quibble with owning both pairs of shoes. The description states they are by Miss Albright.  But it turns out they are actually by Schuler and Son's, which tend to run narrow for me across the front.  Too bad there is no vamp strap to keep these on my narrow heels.  But I do have my stretchy shoe bands.  However, I discovered yesterday that they are far more obvious when you wear them over tights.

 Have I tortured you enough about Diana.  Oh, I suppose I haven't yet told you her name.  She is completely opposite of my son.  He is tall, thin, and Blue eyed.  She is short, Rubinesque, and dark eyed. 

He told me yesterday that he "Loves her to death."  Not sure how to read that. 

As I expected she's bright, but also a little shy. I could tell his displays of affection were making her uncomfortable in front of me. Neither of us are used to that is seems.  I certainly don't disapprove. They are young adults.

The most surprising bit of information is that she is a Pre-Med student. 

OMG!  Camden had better get his act together fast.  He works at JBX and has no plans to attend college at this time, despite my offer to help. Diana is working as a floater at Sears while attending school. The same position I held while attending college to be a Dental Assistant years ago.  Go Diana! I already love her.
