What I'm Wearing Wednesday & What I'm Loving!

It's HUMP DAY which means it's time to link up with Jivey for:

Every day for 21 days, Alison at Get Your Pretty On - Summer Style Challenge,  

gives you different combinations of outfits to wear.  Today's outfit included:  striped shirt, bright shorts, metallic sandals and statement earrings:

 

My hairdresser took this picture after my much needed haircut.  Here's a close-up of my new Stella and Dot earrings that I just bought:

You can't see them in the picture, but I'm wearing them - for the 2nd day in a row, too!

I would definitely say that these are statement earrings.  Also, you can detach the bottom portion.

I do LOVE my new earrings which brings me to the next link-up:

 

I'm still opening my amazing teacher gifts, but here are two that I LOVE:

How perfect - a watermelon candle for a watermelon blog! 

My house smells very nice now.

I also received this bracelet with my name on it and the name of the school!

The charm on the bottom says Mrs. Krevat, and the other one says Goodyear (the name of our school).  I wore this bracelet today as well!

In the spring, I went to an ALS fundraiser, and there was a medium there who asked me:  "Do you ever see single white roses?"  Well, today when I returned from my morning walk with the dog - who woke me up at 4:45 a.m. on the first day of vacation - I saw this on my clematis in front of my house:

The medium told me that those single, white roses are from my mother who died 13 years ago this Friday.  Every year around this time, there's always a single, white flower on this plant.  I think that's pretty cool - even if it's just a coincidence.
