They’re beautiful, Diggs Especially the first 2!

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

So gorgeous, I thought you were going to say you had made them yourself....I know you can make some beautiful things.

Incidentally, I have been to Eilat where they make the jewelry. I bought a mother-of-pearl encrusted bible for my mum there.

Loving the wire work. I‘ve got reels of wire and a few books but life seems to continually get in the way. I ultimately want to get into bridal jewellery…crystal tiaras with complementary earrings and necklaces, a complete package, that sort of thing… got a great stash of Swarovskis and st. silver wire ready for when I feel confident.

Lucky you, the “Eilat Stone” colours are absolutely gorgeous. Never heard of it but will definitely keep an eye open now I’ve seen it.

Gem stones, crystals etc are my secret vice.

I have had a go at wire work. It's very difficult.

I can imagine, it looks very intricate on the pieces you have shown.

You do some stained-glass pieces, though, and that isn't easy either.

OMG....Women dont really dress like that in Texas do they?

The Jeans are OK...but NEVER iron a crease down the front, no denims should have a crease.

The white blouse is nice as long as no muffin top is showing, so she looks OK in that, she should have stopped there.

White trainers would look better than heavy leather boots....women want comfort.

As for the jewelry and jacket....she is trying way too hard.

I love everything about those outfits, it's my kind of summer casual daytime wear.....apart from the shoes sadly.

Edit to add...though I probably dont pay as much for my handbags.

Speaking of shoes...We went to an old mill recently that has been converted into a big clothes retail store selling all fashion brands, good and bad, all less than usual retail prices.
Whilst I was browsing I saw an usual pair of ankle boots, leather, but styled to look like snakeskin, double zipped, just one pair on the shelf, sz 8 ...it's meant to be I thought, so I tried them on, and Eureka, they were comfy.

I wore them last week for a meal out, DIL was very impressed, she said 'Harry Styles has a pair just like that'.

😂 Well, that’s a no-brainer then - those boots definitely had your name all over them

Jeans are often starched and creased for western attire. It's not as common as it used to be, but it's still probably seen as often as not.

It's old school.

Why the hell would you wear trainers with western attire?.

Would you wear them with a nice dress out to a nice restaurant?
