The Rule Breaker...

This will be one of my shortest post yet.

Yes, I know some of you are thrilled.

Hee Hee

You see, it is well after midnight here and I literally just got in from work.  At about 4:30 today my awesome boss (she really is) strolled in to tell me that we had just gotten the opportunity to to see a client but it is LAST MINUTE and UNEXPECTED.  Proposal MUST come together today as she on the first flight out to go make our pitch.  Okay... let's dig in.

At least I was cute (or at least I thought so) while working into the late hours of the night.  Oh, and I am not the one that will be at DFW Airport in just a few short hours either so things can always be more difficult.

Onto far less critical things... what did I wear today?

Today I started with my white Liz Claiborne heels.  I just felt like it.  Not actually what I had planned the night before.

So I often do not conform to traditional "rules" of the fashion world... call me a rebel.  

So who says you cannot wear white after Labor Day?  Does anyone really know?  Why not?

Followed the heels up with a white blouse AND a great pink linen skirt just to make sure I had broken all of the rules regarding post Labor Day attire.  Call Me A Rebel,

Hee Hee

 Fortunately I had snapped these photos this morning before leaving for the office.

SO... What do you think?

The pictures are doing funky things tonight?  Too tired to fight with it anymore.

Hope it works once I "publish?"

Have A Great Day!

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...

Just Grocery Shopping, Honest...

Yes, I am the one.  You know, the one lady in the grocery store wearing heels and a skirt.  I do not mean at 5:30 on a work day, lots of ladies could be seen there straight from work.  I mean on any random Saturday or Sunday.

Honestly, this is how I am most comfortable.  This has been true since about 8th grade.  It is a rare day that I do not get "dressed" right away.

The few pairs of jeans that I have owned over the years just haven't gotten the love that they probably deserved.

Anyway... had you been grocery shopping with me this afternoon, this is what you would have seen me wearing.

What would you have thought when I walked by?  Do you get "dressed" everytime you leave the house or just for work?

I guess that I didn't get enough "bold" red last night at the birthday party?  This is actually a simple lightweight t-shirt.  A little less "edgy" than last night's red.  Hee Hee

What do you think?

Oh, almost forgot, found a CUTE pair of heels while out shopping.  Can't wait to work them in somewhere so i can show you all.
