Today We Live On The Sun...

So yesterday morning rolls around and I excitedly race to the computer to share what I have planned for the day but when I try to log-in to my beloved blog, I find that there are some sort of issues?

Apparently my blog has "detected unusual activity?"

What does that mean?  I honestly have no idea but what I do know is it was almost 24 hours before the issue could be resolved so I missed my post yesterday.  Ugh!

Drat!!!

I was on a roll, too.

After months of inconsistency (okay, near non-existence), I had posted for several days in a row.

I was prepared to keep the streak alive and then in steps the computer... or was it the Internet... maybe it was the server (now we are way out in a land I do not understand, Hee Hee)... or perhaps it had something to do with the sun spots?  I know they get blamed for cell phone problems on occasion?

Anyway...

It is HOT here in Texas today.  The weatherman says 100 degrees (Fahrenheit) but I would sooner believe it is 120.  I swear it was already 100 degrees when I left for work this morning.

Needless to say, no leather skirt today.  Probably not all week.  Oh well, I have some different ideas for the week anyway.  Hee Hee

Today I decided that the "no white after Labor Day" rule could not possibly include anyone who is actually living on the face of the sun and that certainly feels like the case today.

With that said...


A simple white t-shirt by Ann Taylor Loft.  Lightweight, attractive. 

BTW... speaking of Ann Taylor Loft... can't wait to show you this glorious skirt that I bought from their website the other day.  Should be here any day!

Definitely a bit "casual" for me at the office but I am not anticipating any clients today so all should be well.  Besides, I am living on the sun.


Isn't this skirt just darling?  I call it my "Venice Skirt" as the scenery in the print reminds me of Venice.

Again, a little "casual" for an office day but I think it works.

Pair the two together...


Since I understand that a little touch of "formal" is probably in order, I go with my white Bandolino heels.  Ladies, if you have never owned a pair of Bandolino's... get some... now! 


Simple, yet elegant.  I think it is a nice touch to an otherwise "casual" ensemble.

What do you think?

And the whole outfit...


I really do feel quite "pretty" today.  Maybe it is because I am a bit of an Easter Egg?  Hee Hee

Computer problems set me back.  Or was it Blogger?  Maybe just the Internet?  I don't know but no matter the reason... The Leather Skirt Blog was shut down for a day and I missed my self imposed deadline and have been forced to start again.

My simple goal, post my outfit every day this week.  Stay tuned...

Hot Outside - Hot Inside...

OK, truth... I could not help but laugh a little when I decided to go with that title for today's post.

There is good reason though...

I went all demure & ladylike all week.  It's Friday.  No Aunt Jordan tonight.  Soccer games tomorrow so sis gave me the night off.  Hee Hee

I am meeting the girls for drinks after work tonight so I thought something more my "style" would be good.

I even have to snicker a little as I type that.  What "style"?  Hee Hee

Anyway, today's ensemble.

Simple black & white combination.  My staple.  My go-to.  My "comfort zone".

I started with a great turtle neck.  It is May.  It will be 90 degrees today.  I know.  I like a great sweater. 


Paired the sweater with my beloved black leather skirt.  Naturally.


But at the last minute... I opted for a 'pop' of color.  These shoes really are quite lovely.  At least I think so.


And the entire ensemble...


Okay, the title of the post VERY quickly...

I have mentioned in the past (More Polka Dots Post) how awesome my boss truly is.  LOVE her.

Well, today I arrived at the office early so I don't feel bad about slipping out for "happy hour" a little earlier than I would normally take off on a Friday.  When my boss arrived, she spotted me in the hallway and said this, "My, it is as hot in here as it is out there." as she was checking out my wardrobe.  Then she says, "Jordan, I want those shoes.  Not kidding, I want them."

And with that little comment a blog post title is born.  Hee Hee

Well, enough with the blogging... back to work...
