Silver and Gold Holiday Party - Friday's Fancies

Silver and Gold by valfox 

I would love to wear this to a holiday party! There's lots of silver and gold metallic action going on here, which is something I can't seem to get enough of lately! If I had extra money I would probably pick up items similar to each of these ones, but as it is I'm content keeping my wallet safely tucked away in my purse! I balanced out the glitzy top with basic black pants, and the statement necklace with simple earrings and bracelets. I thought the shoes were lovely, but honestly I've never worn heels that high and I probably never will unless I want to tower over people. Sometimes I envy petite women who can rock a super high heel, but then I remember how comfortable flats are in comparison and I'm fine!

Anyway, this week was a doozie! I decided to put Sean's pacifiers away because I didn't want his teeth getting damaged, I wanted his mouth to be free for learning to talk, and I just figured that at 16 months he was old enough to do without it. Boy was I wrong. Thankfully Sean still slept normally, but when he was awake he was even more cranky and whiny than usual. I stuck with my decision however, until Wednesday when we had a friend over and Sean needed to nap but no matter what we did he wouldn't go to sleep. He was screaming and carrying on for what seemed like ages (in front of our friend) so I caved and brought the paci out and he calmed down and went to sleep! So much for my plan! If any moms would care to chime in, I'd love to hear at what age you put your kids' pacifiers away! Oh and I did have a wonderful time at the playground with Sean today. He behaved so well and we both enjoyed the beautiful 50 degree weather! When he's good he's really good and such a joy to be around!
