Saturday Night's All Right for A Fight

Only there was no fight. Saturday was the opening night for the Cuff's Naked Canvas art show, and I wanted to go check it out. So I did. It was a a cold evening, and I was stoked to be able to pull out one of my wool capes and a wool sweater to wear on my bike ride to Cuffs. But the store was so warm inside, I immediately had to strip of all resemblance of cold weather wear. So this is NOT an outfit post- because the best parts of the outfit were draped over a chair most of the evening. But I WILL give you a teaser: Brown/Cream windowpane plaid CAPE, and Norwegian wool sweater. 

Let me tell you, it was cool to see my work on somebody else's walls! The show was an eclectic mix, showcasing the variety of sparkling talent living in Sacramento. Speaking of stellar, it was a most handsome crowd, and some of my favorite peeps came out. Like Kerry, Kara, my pal Mary and the most charming of creatures, Ann and Stan of Annimal House. Everyone looked deliciously lovely.

My favorite part of my outfit, aside from the off-camera vintage plaid cape, were my piled on necklaces. I mixed two plastic beaded necklaces with my beloved 2ETN necklace, which is made of large plastic faceted beads and a gold framed dragon fly pendant. I received it as a gift from Pamela, the designer for 2ETN, and it is one of my favorite pieces of jewelry in my possession. I love the quirkiness and drama of the piece. Kinda well suited to the wearer, I'd say, wouldn't you?
