New Year's Cape-r

Wish Print, Viking Wedding Band, Shooting Star Photo from Etsy.com 

    I think I found my New Year's Eve cocktail dress, thank you very much!  And to top it all off, one of the clothing companies I'm affiliated with offered to send me a couple of capes to try.  I've never owned a cape before, but I think I kind of like them.  One is rather long and the other is short but made of satin material, so while I love the length on the first, I love the feel of the second and I'm glad they sent me both because I'd be very hard pressed to choose between them.  

    This stunning dress caught my eye on ThredUp, so it was less than $30 and it gave me a chance to wear a necklace that I made ages ago with a vintage blue and gold cameo with French themed scene.  In fact, when I saw this dress this necklace was the first thing that popped into my mind.  It was one of my favorite pieces that I created--it's possible they were all my favorites--but I never had an outfit to match.  Thanks to this dress it's problem solved.  

    And just so you know, I'm responsibly sipping on Villa Jolanda Coconut Muscato.  I discovered it in March while visiting a friend out of state.  After months of searching for someplace locally, I found out that this brand isn't sold in my state, so on a recent trip to visit relatives out of state, I bought a whole case, kept a few for myself and gave the rest out as Christmas/New Year's gifts to only my favorite friends and family.  And with that I'll tip my glass and wish you all a very Happy and Safe New Year.
