I've missed wearing my favorite rings, but they just don't do well with stay-at-home. Today I got out one of my favorites and wore it until I went outside to prune the wisteria.

I've gotten so many compliments on my hands--thank you all. It's been tough lately with peeling, splitting, and breaking nails. It's gotten better the last week or so. I thought you might like this group hand photo below with my sisters and one nephew. (I have the polished nails.) We all have problems with joints swelling and aching--my Mom had this problem too. I've had a few rings resized, but finding it nice to wear some snug rings on my smaller left hand.

So my favorite DY ring called a serpent ring. I think hematite and I'd have to look up the other stone. There have been several versions of this ring.

I bought the earrings while shopping with my friend in Santa Ana. I do want to go back to this store again. I will have to look up the name of the stone if anyone wants to know.

I have on a Nic & Zoe top. I thought this was fashion forward for me when I bought it--those fake studs on the sleeves! It's kind of in-between--warm for summer and the sleeves hidden in cooler weather. And it has pockets! Worn with my NAS jacket, Joe's Jeans, and I'm trying the Allbirds again, not only with Superfeet but with added Dr. Scholl's pads.

I include a back view with the jacket. What do you think of this effect? Ok to wear once social life resumes?
