Jan 2

I'm going to try to post one selfie a day this month. 

Each day, after I put in earrings, I want to take a picture of the earrings of the day, then post it to this blog. If I skip a day (Or two or three) I'll post more than one "Selfie".

 

 

Yeah, I'm in a house dress, I hadn't gotten dressed for the day, before I put in these earrings.

 

Jan 2. Sparkly Star Shaped earrings. At least today I was "Dressed" before I took a picture.
