    A funny thing happened on my way to the reception...

    As most of you know, my husband and I have been very actively engaged in redoing our patio as an outdoor living area since the Memorial Day weekend. We've been busy and we are certainly making a huge amount of progress. But it is quite a lot of work. Yesterday found me seriously steeped in painting two 1950's lawn chairs and I had overspray, literally, up to my elbows. Sometime around 3 in the afternoon, I called my husband at his office. We discussed the project and all that I had accomplished and then I told him about the JoAnn's [40% off] coupon that I received in the mail. Of course I was burning to go pick out the fabric for the dining chairs! It was then that he reminded me of the artists' reception that we were to attend at a gallery at 6pm. Like I said, I was up to my elbows in overspray and my hands had taken on a moldy-looking green cast. I have a sensitivity to certain chemicals and turpenoid is among them. Usually, when I'm splotched with oil-based paint or enamel, I just wash as much of it away as possible and it is completely gone in a couple of days. I couldn't allow myself to attend a reception with green hands - OMG. But I found the perfect cover up in a pair of vintage opera gloves. And what a perfect occassion to wear them! :ROTFL: As it was, the entire look was well received and I got more than several compliments on the outfit overall. So here you have it, my "I've been working like a dog but I can't miss this opportunity to show my good will and support of your artwork" ensemble. Dress: Macy's Hand-beaded Bohemian Crystal Collar: La Boheme, Maui HI Bracelets: Bon-Ton Gloves: Vintage Copper and Lucite Box Purse: Vintage Shoes: Doll House Sunnies: Steve & Barry's Camera: Canon EOS 30D Digital SLR If you'd like to check up on our progress in reclaiming our patio, please click here.

    Wren! VSug! Thanks so much. You should have seen me in a total panic yesterday afternoon. Scrubba-Dub-Dub [and in a hurry too]. Not only did I have to clean myself up I also had to clean up my project trail and be out the door by 5:30. As it was I had 10 minutes to spare. It was kind of fun too.

    That look totally kicked! Sometimes, the best looks can be the ones put together at the last minute, with just a little thought.

    Thanks, Ladies.

    Bethenny on the Real Housewives of NYC had a saying, "Go big or go home". It was kind of like that. If I was gonna rock ye ole opera gloves I had to do it in a big way.
