Shoes-Day! Polka dot repeat

The time has come for repeating some ol’ faves.  I still have some new shoes that I want to show you, but they didn’t really come up in the outfits this past week so you’ll have to wait a little longer.

I showed these shoes just about a year ago today and they are still getting as much use as ever.  I think I love these shoes so much because 1) they were a gift from the hubby (that he picked out himself!); 2) they have polka-dots (how can you not like); 3) they are actually comfy!.

Here was last Thursdays outfit to work:

In the mix: black button down from NY&Co, denim trouser pants from NY&Co, Nine West belt, ESQ watch, oversized turquoise ring from NY&Co (see photo below), and Jessica Simpson shoes:

I have a feeling my blend Lauren will like this ring based on her new obsession of turquoise

Tell me, would you rock some polka-dotted shoes?

Do you have a favorite stone for jewelry?  I’m actually really drawn to Citrine – the color is mesmerizing to me

Closet Giveaway: Blue Crossbody Purse

Hi blogfriends!  How did your Friday night treat you?  Yesterday was my “off-Friday” from work and (gasp!) I actually took it off, including from posting.  Some days, the fur babies, laundry, and DVR just take precedence ya know?

Based on this post, you said you were interested in giveaways from my closet.  I really should have posed the question 2 weeks earlier since I just took about 50 items to Goodwill — some brand new…Meep!

But I do have this (1 time use only) Chinese Laundry Blue (I think it’s purple-ish) Crossbody bag just for you!

Prior to heading to Italy in February 2010, I had wanted to buy a crossbody purse so I could have my hands free while shopping seeing the sights.  After searching high and low, I found this on Piperlime.com and LOVED it, particularly the bright turquoise satin interior.  Then when I received it, I realized it didn’t have a zipper top, which was a necessity for me so I could minimize the chance of pickpocketing.  Oye.  But I still wanted to “try it on for size” and used it once.  Other features are an adjustable shoulder strap, drawstring top, and interior zipper pocket.  For some odd reason, this purse has not made it back into my handbag rotation in over a year, which means it’s just takin’ up space for me to buy somethin’ new!

I want one of YOU to have it.  And don’t be surprised if it comes with some of my favorite goodies as an extra bonus   US and Canadian residents can enter (though I have to figure out the food aspect if I’m sending to Canada).

You can enter 3 ways: 1) Tell me one thing you can’t part with in your closet (even if you never use/wear it); 2) Mention this giveaway on your blog; and/or 3) Add me to your Google Reader or subscribe.

Make sure to enter a new comment for each entry.

I have a lot more closet giveaways in the future!

Update:  Ooops, I’ll pick a winner Thurs Mar 24 at 5p PST and announce Friday Mar 25.
