Today I was frazzled.  I stayed up way too late last night refreshing my memory on the niceties of calculus and chemistry so that I could help Teen Daughter#2 study for today’s tests.  Then I stayed up even LATER sitting with Teen Son#1 as he finished a project that is due on Thursday, because he has football tonight and woudn’t  be able to get it done today.  THEN, I went to bed without laying out my clothes for today – which only leads to a chaotic morning trying to throw together an outfit that will hold up in the torrential downpour remnants of Hurricane Hermine.  I almost forgot about Self Sewed September, so I grabbed this dainty from the dresser and slipped her on. 

Its an old fashioned daisy chain bead ring, made with little sead pearls and tiny bronze beads.  This was a silly keep-my-hands-busy project on a rainy day last fall, and I wear it more often than I originally thought I would!

Hmmm…now that I think about it, the skirt I wore to work today was a refashion.  It’s a heavy jersey fabric swingy skirt that I took in by FOUR INCHES so that it doesn’t slide down over my shrunken fanny.  I am so loving the Skinny Me Edition!

More jewelry today.  Seriously, I DO know how to knit and sew…but it’s still too hot to wear wool!  I’m wearing fall colors to fool myself into thinking it’s actually fall temperatures outside. Today, another favorite piece.  This one is a simple strand of 12 mm citrine beads with copper caps and spacers, and a lovely hammered copper heart clasp.  There’s a matching necklace and earrings, which I also wore.  *gasp*  I know that for some folks “matching” jewelry is taboo, but I love the way a set just, well, Matches!
