A little daring? Perhaps, but definitely cool for hot summer days.
This white denim jacket is lightweight and a gift from my dear friend Elisabeth in Germany. We were shopping in Dinkelsbuhl and she bought it for me. That’s how memories get woven into the fibres and I think of her whenever I wear it.
One of my hobbies is making jewellery–the easy kind–stringing beads together.
Jacket: gifted
Bustier: Sears
Jeans: Le Chateau
Stilettos: gifted
Summer has arrived !
Happy summer!

Thank you so much for your kind words dear Ralph! We have been enjoying sunny, warm days so I’ve had a chance to wear it twice. That might be it for now though, I mean wearing the top because I have so many summer tops and not enough summer days!
Happy weekend!

Daring? Yes imo. But you have the nice shoulders for it.
Lightweight denim?? Lol

Thank you for saying I have nice shoulders, I actually think they’re two of my best features. 😉 But my worst features are my elbows. Does anyone have nice elbows? I only took my jacket off for the photo shoot, I prefer wearing a light jacket or blouse (worn as a jacket) or a cardigan. It will be fine for the beach and my patio to go bare shoulders.
Blessings!

However, no matter what our elbows look like (I have never heard anyone say to me–or anyone else– “My! What lovely elbows you have!” we need our elbows, they are very useful and God has perfectly designed us! We cannot say to the elbow, “I don’t need you” just as we are all members of the Body of Christ and each one of us is needed and important, we work together for the glory of God!
“And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of you: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
No, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary.”
1 Corinthians 12
In conclusion … thank you Lord for our elbows!
Well, that’s my little sermon for today! 🙂
God bless!!

Carmen, you look amazing!! For any age group. If it wasn’t for the fact that you shared your age, I’d never have guessed 🙂 I think your sense of style is classy and feminine, and you’ve gained a new fan in me.

Lucky you, Summer is here. It suits you very well, you got the right figure. 🙂 Bit daring but you can easily wear it. Love your necklace, simple but beautiful. I make jewellery too, also try to do simple but nice earrings mainly. I got an etsy shop and sell the odd bits. I enjoy it as it is a hobby. Here is a link so you can have a look:

We have a bit of sun sometimes, but also lots of rain still. …and still need a cardigan..

Thanks so much Ute! I’ve only worn it with a jacket so far, I took the jacket off for the photo shoot, but it’s a bit too bare for my comfort zone in public. I will wear it in the garden and at the beach or perhaps a park setting.
Thank you for the link! WOW!!! What lovely earrings you have made and the prices are so reasonable. I didn’t know you have an Etsy shop!
Blessings!
