Pug Love

I've made some of my best friends through blogging. Suzanne is one of them. As soon as Suzanne burst onto the blogging scene, she captured the spotlight. Physically gorgeous and creatively-dressed, Suzanne captured everyone's attention. Then I got to know her as a person and discovered there's even more to like about her.

Suzanne has a generous spirit and exceptional artistic ability. She used to own a scrapbooking company where she designed her own products. She still creates items but now gives them away to friends. I'm lucky enough to be within that category.

For my birthday, Suzanne sent me handmade notecards and a pretty pin. The pin is a drawing of her pug Zoe. It's an adorable accessory. She has an awfully cute canine. That's the pin above.

I've been waiting for the right outfit to showcase the pug pin and just found one. On a thrift-store trip, I spotted an exotic tuxedo jacket in blue with black lapels. The jacket is so strange that it appeals to me. I grabbed it without any idea how to wear it. Later I stumbled on an Anne Taylor skirt that looks like a million bucks even thought it only cost me $8. The two pieces fit like Mutt and Jeff. Or Suzanne and Zoe.

Here we go... What do you think?
