All That Glitters

...Is gold... Someone please try to tell me that you are not singing Pink Floyd's "Stairway to Heaven" in your head right now... I digress.

One of my holiday party outfits that isn't overty Christmas. I plan on wearing this to a casual, but elegant nighttime baby shower. I am also thinking this will double as my New Year's Eve ensemble... that is IF the hubs and I do anything besides put the kids to bed and watch a movie on Netflix... ;)
I went for another monochromatic look.
Gold cardi- Peace Place years ago= $0.78
Gold and cream sleeveless blouse- Banana Republic outlet 70% off rack= $7ish
Skinnies- Wal-Mart= $11
peep toes- payless years ago= $17ish
Necklace- Banana Republic Outlet 70% off rack= $4
Earrings- Peace Place= $1.50
Since the details of this outfit were hard to photograph I thought I'd share some close ups... don't be shy... yes... please... come closer...
Too close. A little too close.
So.. what are you wearing to all the festivities this season?

    Such lovely pieces, Leah -- those earrings are exquisite! As an aging hippie, I feel I must pipe up about the song: Led Zeppelin did Stairway to Heaven : > Happy Thursday!

    Pink Floyd? LOL Ok, Patti, I think we need to school (corrupt) the sweet Mormon girl!! I'm just teasing, Leah. You know I love you.

    And those earrings are gorgeous. The whole outfit is festive without being over the top and fussy. You do monochromatic better than anyone I know!
