In Anticipation of EBEW

I missed the last EBEW challenge, which was lace. boo :(. This time I decided to be proactive and wear the outfit early so that I can link it in time. In general, I am not the biggest fan of yellow. However, I am finding that the sunny disposition color is more needed in my wardrobe, given the increase in frustrating days I'm experiencing. I find that yellow is indeed a mood enhancing color. The outfit I'm wearing is old. The top, skirt, and shoes are minimally 3 years old. The skirt is actually too big for me. I had put darts in a while ago, but it is still loose. No matter, it fits well enough to wear in public, the only thing that counts.

The jewelry I'm wearing today is a set I made. I adore jewelry. Unfortunately, that adoration only applies to silver, gold, and platinum. I think this is likely due to the fact that I am allergic to metals that are not one of those three. Makes for expensive gifts for the hubs to get me :). Anyway, I started jewelry making as a hobby. (I thoroughly enjoy hobbies of all kinds.) With work and life being as hectic as it has been, not to mention my disorganized house, I haven't done much lately. I thought I would start wearing some of the pieces I like the most. No point leaving them in the jewelry box to gather dust. This is one piece where I am pleased with the outcome, so I thought I would share it with all of you. Let me know what you think. Once the craft room is done, I can start doing my hobbies again. :)
