Thoughts for a Meandering Monday

Just some random going ons...

1) I was nervous going to the dentist today. Worried about how much it would hurt to have my teeth deep cleaned (you know, when they go down between the gums and the teeth). Considering what they were doing, it wasn't so bad. Also considering that this is definitely a first world problem, it wasn't so bad. I'm thankful I can afford to get my mouth in shape and that those services are so available.  Oh, and apparently I have low profile teeth; AKA short teeth...


2) Finally found my sister's birthday gift after running to a few stores. Holla!


3) FALL. Apparently it's here! Today is super foggy and chilly. I'm hoping it's the same when I get home. Because we are further inland, we are outside of the fog belt (typically).

{Fog}

4) Fellow sea lovers... how awesome is this wreath at Pier 1?!

{I'm in love!}

5) I finally got an Outfit Of The Day photo up! When I took a photo at home it was just too dark. Thankfully the American Cancer Society thrift store has fitting rooms and I was able to snap a shot. And yes, I actually tried on some things (and bought 2 of them). ;)

{I'm even wearing blue! My top is OLD WaMart, cardigan is Old Navy, Pants are actually a deep denim color (not black) from forever21, scarf is American Eagle, boots are called emu wool (?), and the necklace is from .... I don't know. Ha!}

6) Brunch (because who eats breakfast AND lunch?) was from the chinese food place in the mall (so not clean eating!). When I left I saw an older man sitting with his bible open, writing away. I was so encouraged that I went up to him and told him so and that I wanted to encourage him to continue to do that! He asked me if I believed the Bible and about Jesus. It was wonderful!

7) Mike and I started going to a leadership bible study that meets once a month. We went last night and it was awesome. I have some thoughts whirring through my head but I won't unload them, unorganized, on you. 

Those are some of my meandering thoughts.

Anything random out there for you?

Neck Drapery aka... necklaces.

If you haven't been reading along, this is the 10th day in a 31 day series. As far as jewelry goes, we've covered blue hued rings (finger candy anyone?) and bracelets. Now, on to necklaces!

As we've established, I love turquoise and I think the amount of blue/turquoise jewelry I have should prove it. I'll try to stop expressing my love for it. <---- yeah right!

I always find a way to sneak it into my outfit. For example, I'm wearing coral in the photo below and my hubby is wearing a shirt with corals, oranges and such in it. And then there is turquoise!

{i realize now that you can hardly see it. but it's my necklace. 

enjoy this lovely photo anyway. ;) thanks.}

I photographed all of the blue hued necklaces I have and I chose my faves!

As I've grown in my personal style, I've come to love anything oceanic. 

{turquoise!}

{this fish is too fun. especially in the summer}

{I've had this necklace for a LONG time. and I'm still not sick of it}

{my sweet husband surprised me with the sea star necklace}

{my mom made me this after I saw an awesome one that I couldn't afford ($400!!). 

Supplies from L.A. It's Spotted Poppy before we were Spotted Poppy}
