Yesterday, I ran some errands in the morning, then went out in the afternoon to the dentist. It was in the low 90s in the afternoon, but I thought cropped pants were better for the dentist than shorts. I wore my new railroad stripe Wit and Wisdom Utility crops, a new white sleeveless tee, old navy Vionic flipflops, and a sterling silver necklace and pendant. I carried a newish small natural and navy canvas tote from Lands End, with an embroidered strap from Amazon. I’ve been using it a lot since I got it. I felt pretty good in this outfit in the morning. The pants are made of heavy denim and were a little too warm for the afternoon. I sized down, but the waist was still a bit big, but not too much.


As I was getting ready for my dentist appointment, I noticed tarnish on my tee, at the neckline. The chain had seemed untarnished but obviously wasn’t. I wonder if the fact that I was wearing sunscreen or that I was a little sweaty had anything to do with it. I changed tops to go to the dentist.

I suppose this has happened before, but I wear a lot of charcoal, so I wouldn’t have noticed it. Has anyone else experienced this? Did you change how you store your jewelry? I don’t want this to happen again, so instead of my lackadaisical jewelry storage, I suppose I should get those special anti tarnish bags. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
