Since I tone down my lurex-threaded dress with opaque tights, a higher neckline, and a cardigan or jacket for my Business Creative/Casual workplace...
...I figured I might as well bling up the slightly metallic, front-and-back scooped Missoni fabric by the yard dress for NYE
I find a neutral backdrop of dark denim, black, and charcoal serves as a good foil for a labradorite pendant and vintage mesh purse...
Whiting and Davis' mesh purses are the perfect advertisement for the book on the long-standing US company
...though there's also something to said for pairing the vintage mesh clutch with lurex-threaded Missoni fabric by the yard (despite the clutch's clasp lacking one rhinestone, the bag has plenty of personality)
Vintage meets "used": The back side of a $20 Whiting and Davis mesh clutch shows off a new-to-me labradorite pendant
A last glimpse from across the street, athough the scene extends a bit more than my camera's eye captured
Stand in one spot and look up, and your eyes will be filled...then move a foot and look down, and you've found additional vignettes

...while the latticed bower--topped with a peppermint garland--leads visitors to the adjoining lot's displays (if approximately 100 feet of lighted promenade didn't do the job already)
Illuminated glass-block snowfolks light the way to the home's front windows, where holiday displays entice....
In a neighborhood of modest homes, a house with a double lot means plenty of room for plastic reindeers to leap through the night
L, Eileen's gorgeous blue-green eyes are (temporarily) more on display without glasses; R, my two curly-headed pals require different purples to glow
Dim lighting doesn't defeat our Eileen-in-the-wild shot, as she picks up her new customized wrap dress and puts it through a few paces (or something)
Eileen, in the midst of directing reflector use, lets her boho diva side fly
Getting a head start on my...
