| This lovely veronica that I bought last year survived the winter and has returned to bloom again this year! |
Last weekend I was not able to get a post done because I was recovering from my second COVID vaccine. I got the vaccine early on a Friday afternoon, and exactly 24 hours later I developed chills, so I ended up sleeping for several hours. When I finally woke up I felt much better and my fever was gone but I decided to take it easy for the rest of the weekend. I was a bit tired the next day and slept again in the afternoon, but by Sunday evening I felt fine and had no other side effects. I am so happy that I am finally fully vaccinated, and by the end of this week I will be considered fully protected, so my husband can start planning his visit to Santa Fe now!
Since I missed posting last weekend you are in for several outfits of the week, from two weeks ago as well as last week. I will start with the outfit I wore to take my dog Madison to the vet clinic for her annual exam. She is officially a senior dog this year so I had baseline bloodwork done for her as well. The final verdict - Madison is "a little overweight but healthy", so we will work on getting her to lose some of the winter weight she gained (I need to work on that as well, so the two of us can diet together!). I only went to the vet clinic that day - we still had to wait in our cars while our pets were taken inside due to the pandemic, and my car window was still broken at the time, so I wore a very casual outfit only slightly dressed up by a simple silver and pearl pendant necklace that I inherited from my mother. Here is the complete outfit:

The next day I was finally able to take my car in for its appointment to get the window fixed. This process took a few hours but I opted to wait for my car instead of leaving it so that I could then run a few errands before heading home. I decided to wear one of my new sweaters from J.C. Penney, a new pair of jeans in a unique color from Old Navy, and a simple necklace from my collection that is one of many given to me by my husband:

Straight Mineral-Dye Jeans in Merzouga; L.L. Bean Women's Long-Sleeve Interlock Mock-Turtleneck in Black; Center: Michael Kors Gold Tone Curb Link Pendant + Black Leather Cord Necklace (similar to mine). |
I made a third trip into town that week for my COVID vaccine appointment, and then finished up more errands before heading home to take it easy for the weekend in anticipation of any vaccine side effects. The weather was finally starting to warm up a bit, so I wore a lightweight sweater embroidered with beautiful cheetahs, and a lighter weight coat which I ended up removing as the afternoon warmed up. I received my vaccine at the pharmacy of a supermarket that I usually do not visit (it is a little too far away to be convenient). This was only my third visit to this store, but each time I went there I received a complement on the outfit I wore - this time someone admired my cheetah sweater. Maybe I should shop at this supermarket more often! Anyway, here is the outfit I wore that day:

| Clockwise from top left: Lost Galleon Snake Chain Gold Necklace (similar to my much less expensive version); L.L. Bean Women's PrimaLoft Packaway Jacket in Black; Great American Leatherworks Braid Flap Crossbody Bag in Dark Tan (color no longer available; MIRMARU Women's Cotton Crew Socks in Black; Dockers Vargas Boat Shoes in Rust; Old Navy Women's High-Waisted O.G. Straight Mineral-Dye Jeans in Merzouga; Chico's Cashmere-Blend Embroidered Cheetah Sweater in Multi. |
I only made one trip into town last week, mostly to pick up gardening supplies, as planting season has finally arrived here in the Santa Fe area. The weather during the day is now consistently warm, so I wore a new long-sleeved tee with cute embroidered foxes as well as a very lightweight animal print vest. These lighter layers were quite sufficient, and it won't be long now before I can finally start leaving the outerwear at home! I also opted for much lighter colors that are more suitable for spring:

| Clockwise from top left: Talbot's Embroidered Crewneck Tee in Champagne Rose; Hot Cotton Leopard Print Vest (no longer available - similar to mine); Great American Leatherworks Braid Flap Crossbody Bag in Dark Tan (color no longer available; Target Women's A New Day Crew Socks in Cream; Dockers Vargas Boat Shoes in Rust; Rachel Comey Norm Straight-Leg Jeans in Khaki (similar to my much less expensive pair - no longer available); Walmart Skinny Faux Leather Belt in Pink; Center: DressingVintage Extra Long Multi Strand Mixed Gold Chain Necklace (similar to mine). |

I am hoping to get a lot of gardening done this week as the weather will be mild to warm. There is rain in the forecast for tomorrow but every time we are supposed to get rain it never materializes. Hopefully we will get some rain soon because it has been terribly dry so far this spring. Have a great week, everyone - I hope you have been able to get your COVID vaccine scheduled, and that you are having great spring weather!
