Cocktail Rings

By -
After a rough day at work, I went out for cocktail with friends. There was a woman sitting at the bar in a little black dress, scarf and hand spanning cocktail ring. Just two simple details to make her look pop.

I've been neglecting rings. The get put away when the cold weather gloves come out, and sometimes they collect dust all spring and summer. But today I think I'll base my outfit around one of the rings waiting in my jewelry box.Top: copper and turquoise ring, Ollipop at Nordstrom $58

mesh bow ring, Betsey Johnson $50
Middle: enamel flowers dome ring, Juicy Couture at Nordstrom $88

Bottom: silver circles ring, Rocio Melendez on Novica $69.95

I was trying to decide which of these rings I loved the most, turns out, all of them. Maybe the first and the last, as they are a little more girly. I love big rings and have a bunch! These are beautiful!

"You Can Wear It Again"

One of my college roommates sent me a book called You Can Wear It Again: A Celebration of Bridesmaids' Dresses by Meg Mateo Ilasco. I must admit I uttered those words to my bridesmaids. The best burgundy fabric we could find was a butterfly brocade, so we ended up making Chinese-style tops (no strapless, backless bra required) and gold skirts.

The pictures in "You Can Wear It Again" can be a whole lot of fun with a gabby group of girl friends.

When it makes its way through all our friends, we'll have a great collection of comments.

Just click with you want a better view of these horrors committed to fabric and friendship.
Note to brides: It is unfair to make your sisters, cousins, and b…
