Distinctively Donna
This two-piece outfit is a Perch design by blu pepper. This brown outer top ties in the front and has ¾ length sleeves. It’s very lightweight and comfortable. It is 90% acrylic and 10% nylon but feels like a fine wool. The size is XL.
The under top is black, gray and beige. It is sleeveless (deep cut) and made of cotton. The two tops can be worn together or separately.
The pictures of Donna wearing the outfit were featured on her recent Friday Follies post on Facebook (11/24/23).
“This is an antique lamp shade I used to have on a lamp by a desk. I love lamps and different types of shades.” – DF
“I think plastic shoes look better with “skinny minney” pants, and I loved these shoes!” – DF
“I designed this bracelet to wear with a black and silver top I wore on stage. It’s light and comfortable and just stretches over the hand. I hand-sewed everything so the stitching inside all the stuff I’ve made will always be a little funky but nobody sees it from the outside. I used wide silver stretchy elastic and covered it with black lace, ribbon and a pretty pin.” – DF
“I designed this red bracelet and neck piece to wear with a tuxedo and vest when I wanted to add a flash of color. I used wide silver elastic and covered it with a red lace fabric with some silver and gold threads, added a few rhinestones and sequins. I added a pair of beautiful rhinestone heart earrings and had my outfit.
I covered the red ribbon neck piece with red fabric to match the bracelet and added some design to it with red and gold sequins. It will fit any size neck because you just tie the ribbon in back to fit your neck. Both the neck piece and bracelet are light weight and comfy. When you’re on stage, it’s very important to be comfortable in what you’re wearing.” – DF
“The size says 28 regular, but they will fit better on a person larger than a 28 regular because they’re stretchy. I used to love wearing these jeans when I weighed 120. (Since I lost 17 pounds due to Covid, I really couldn’t wear them now. In the picture I’m wearing tights under the jeans for a better fit but you can see that they still look big.) I’d bet they would be comfortable on someone weighing 125 or maybe a little more. I like the modified “A” line bottoms because they look good with short boots or wedgies.” – DF
“Is this gold one fancy enough? It used to sit at the bottom of a fancy lamp in one of my closets. It can coordinate with any gold accents.” – DF
“I like pillows to decorate with, and here’s one I made to coordinate with a lampshade and chair.” – DF
“I would sometimes decorate or create something to wear or use as projects for the bus trips. I made this little bag to hold a hotel key to our room and a credit card if I didn’t want to take my purse to the dressing room before a show. I wore it like a necklace for convenience and I’ve actually just worn it because I like it.” – DF
“These glasses are for any lady who likes Prada. They’re silver-toned, curved, and the Prada name is displayed prominently on both sides of the ‘arms.'” – DF
“For all you aviater-style sunglasses lovers, here’s a pair with an animal print and gold combination frame. They are also in their original case, I believe. I mean they’re the same brand name, so I think it’s the original.” – DF
“For all you aviater-style sunglasses lovers, here’s a gold pair with a not-so-dark tint. They are also in their original case, I believe. I mean they’re the same brand name, so I think it’s the original.” – DF
“The fan club used to sell these cool key rings. I found 2 and I’ll let go of one.” – DF
“Cool purse. Kinda’ jazzy with lots of room. Comfy. It holds a lot!” – DF
“These are “clip” earrings. (I Don’t have pierced ears.) On the back of one of the earrings, it says, “Ferrella’s N.Y.C. Jools.” The little red velvet pouches holding the jewelry have written on them the words, J.G. Hook. I like earrings, and these would work with most anything you would want a gold accent. The pin to match would look great on a jacket with the earrings. They’re all in great condition.” – DF
“Here’s a lavender Italian belt by Vero Rettile.” – DF
“I love suspenders.” – DF
“I would often buy 2 of the same thing in different colors if I liked something, so I wound up with a pearl one and a gold one. Too bad they didn’t have a silver one, too.” – DF
“This pearl tie was just a little ‘dazzle’ piece to complete an outfit that complimented it. I sometimes wore tuxedos to perform in and the ties added a little funk.” – DF
“I love these high heel Guess sneakers. I wore them in a photo shoot for the 16-month calendar we did a few years back. You can’t go wrong with black and white.” – DF
“If you like to wear black and you like wedgies, these are comfy and casual. I can’t wear high heels anymore since the 2 strokes, so I’m gonna’ miss some of my favorite shoes.” – DF
“More suspenders – not fancy, just fun.” – DF
“I used to wear suspenders on stage, and these were some of my favorites. I bought them in L.A., I’m pretty sure.” – DF
“I like the look of these boots with black socks ‘scrunched’ above the ankle strap to accent my own fashion sense.” – DF
“I bought these beautiful studded Beverly Feldman wedgies when I was working in Vegas. I wore them several times, but they’re in great condition. Very comfy.” – DF
“Another pair of black comfy and great high-wedge slip-ons.” – DF
“I always loved this sweatshirt for funky stage wear or an interview. I bought it in L.A. I weigh 103 now, and it’s too small for me, so it would probably be comfortable on someone weighing around 100 lbs. or less.” – DF
“This vest is very large; it seems more like an XL to me. Really roomy. I remember wearing it at a book signing in Branson with my favorite cowboy hat but couldn’t find a picture.” – DF
