autumn hues of soft greens and brown with a touch of deep navy in a
delightfully lightweight fabric that envelopes Diane with softness and
comfort. Let this tee hang out or wear it belted.

included this double-breasted knit jacket. This jacket is in a class all its
own. Exceptionally tailored with interesting details like a built in hood
for even more versatility, faux belt cuffs and the channel-stitched open
pockets but the best part is that it is machine washable.
So compelling are these natural stone necklaces, the better to show off
their innate beauty. Complimented with scattered filigreed silver-tone
orbs, the strands are gathered into ornately appointed end beads and
joined with a lobster clasp.
Dianne sports our burnished nail-head outlined ballet flats in black

Cheryl Delgado discovered a lump
in her breast only 1 month after her
annual exam but felt that it should
be checked out despite her doctors
not being overly concerned due to
her young age, good health , and
lack of distressing family history.
Cheryl pushed for further examination
and because of her strength of spirit
they were able to catch the cancer
before it spread outside the breast.
Cheryl learned through that
experience what it meant to self
advocate - in a case where her life
depended on it. Listen to your
instinctual gut reactions, ladies
you will usually be right!
Beautiful Cheryl is sporting skinny black bolero leggings that
almost have the look of a true riding pant. They are embellished
with black braiding and shiny silver buttons. A ¾ sleeve
cardigan paired with black and red leopard lace trimmed cami
really makes the outfit young and fresh. Finished off with a
fabulous necklace and black flats with blingy red jewels!
Gorgeous!
