Well hello, ladies and gents. I was running a little late with my post this week. For me, that is, I’m usually all set to go live first thing on Monday. The linky IS open all week though, so Tuesday is doing okay. Excuses, excuses. Ha. So this week’s theme is BLING. I was all like, errr what the heck am I going to wear for bling. Do I need to hit the junk shop costume sections and get myself a giant spinner necklace or something?
I didn’t.
Instead I went for the whole metallic, embellished look. Even then I was lucky I had grabbed this tunic at the last minute at the Plus Size Fashion Weekend clothes swap. It’s a lovely blush colour, lightweight and embellished to the max. What does annoy me about it is that they didn’t continue the second layer of material under the waist and so it’s sheer and you can see the pockets and such? Why would they do that is my main question?
Whhhhhyyy!?
My camera and I are getting along well at the moment. I can’t wait to get a new lens and some decent editing software and really go to town with it. But mostly, it’s nice to check out what it can do and what ideas Hubby and I can come up with together. Originally I’d planned to put these photos into black and white. Hubby suggested the pink. He was right, it gives it a light and sort of romantic look to it which goes really well with the top.
I’d turn the world soft pink if I could. Like a Legally Blonde movie. Did you know they shoot the primary character, Elle, in a soft pink light? I love bonus features discs there is always so much to learn about random stuff. Useless probably and pointless mostly but FUN. But anyway, pink lighting is all kinds of lovely and if you can’t get it through a filter or creation or whatever, then I might as well fake it with a quick filter edit. Right?

I make stuff for the internet over at Chalkboard Digital. You know, living the sweet life.
I see your point about the tunic – it is odd that the bottom is sheer. You look lovely (Pink is pretty on you). Those shoes are to DIE for!
I know, right!? Crazy. Thank you. xo
you defiantly are rocking that bling! love it xx
Well, thank you muchly. 🙂
new hair and I love it Suger xo
Yes, lighter again. Thanks Mele. xox
Loving your bling outfit. You look really comfy, yet totally stylish and ready to party.
Thanks Jeanie. 🙂
I love this outfit and Kelvin is doing a fabulous job with the new camera 🙂
Thanks Dan. xo He is, right!? Go Kelvy. I leave it on auto and change some of the settings so it’s pretty much fool proof. Would love for us both to go on a use your camera day, but we only have one camera. Haha.
How cute are you!! Loving this outfit, you are fierce, girl! 🙂
xo TJ
Naaaaw thanks!
And FYI, I’ve never met a TJ I didn’t like. 😉
I love teh 2nd to last photo of you so much, it’s such a cute smirk you have going on. I love that tunic, but I agree, why didn’t they continue with the other layer after the waist? Silly.
Thank you. A cute smirk I have. Haha.
I knoooow right!?
totally gorgeous you look amazing! love your hair and the colour of the tunic!
Thank you E. For all of it. Thanks! xo
Love the second last pic…………and yes WTF didn’t they include lining the whole way through the shirt.
Thanks Claire. I’ve just made it my fb profile pic.
I KNOOOOOOW RIGHT!? Annoying. Looking for a slip now.
Beautiful!
Thank you Lisa.
Definitely love the soft pink light here and that tunic – crazy beautiful!
Thank you Vera. The tunic is gorgeous. Looking for a white slip to wear under it online now.
dude, no paragraph about how you’re wearing my beloved shoes? lol you look so glam, I wanted that entire outfit but this little miss pasty butt couldn’t pull off pale pink. Kinda glad because you rock it!
Haha. I didn’t want to rub it in. I did have a little mention when I wore them in a work outfit once. Thank you. It’s lovely on but I can’t wait to find a white slip or something for under it. That’ll make it pretty much perfect.
I have to agree, it really does has a soft, pretty, feminine quality to it. Very nice!
Thank you Amy. It does, doesn’t it. Just lovely.
Oh so soft and romantic you are, very sweet Hun. I really like. No bling on the bottom might be because they would easily get caught or knocked off. Just a thought. Anyways I think the tunic is pretty and you’re looking lovely.
Btw you’re so like my hubby touting the bonus feature info, it’s like him with Internet movie database website lol.
Thank you Trudie. Oh yeah,. I get that, what I meant was a second layer of material like the top, not bling. See how the bottom section is sheer..? That. It bugs me. Haha.
I SO am. That reminds me. I was going to bookmark that website… 😉
