Living On The Sun III...

It is over 100 degrees AGAIN... ugh!  Weatherman promises relief tomorrow... I hope so. 

Enough complaining... let's move on.

In short, I am infinitely happier with today's ensemble.  The jury is still out on the blouse I wore yesterday but the feedback I received was really quite positive.  What do I know?

I still think I am leaning towards bidding it farewell.

One comment suggested a cool orange pencil skirt.  Perhaps I will try that?

Anyway, yesterday I went with pattern on top & basic on bottom.  Today we switch it around.

Today I started with some shoes that have never appeared here before.  There is good reason.  I do not wear them much.  It is just so HOT today that I decided to pull them out.  Give them a spin.

I am not much of a fan of a shoe that doesn't actually cover my whole foot but my pounding heart convinced me to give them a try.  The shoes actually called to me as I breezed by the shoe department.  I guess the buckles and pointed toe was just too much for logic to overcome.  Hee Hee

Do shoes talk to you at the store, too?

Alas, my brain was correct despite my heart's efforts to convince me otherwise and these beauties really do not get the love that they probably deserve.  Maybe I will make a better effort?

I adore this floral print skirt that I got at Harold's many years ago.  It is so light & airy.  Flowy.  Pretty.  Perfect for Spring & Summer.  I feel quite "girlie" whenever I wear it.

Look at the details.  The color.  Harold's was the best.

All together now... "Ahh... I wish that store were still open."

Throw in a very feminine & flowy white blouse and you have the perfect outfit for a day living on the sun.

Seriously, I envision our astronauts wearing this very ensemble when we first explore the sun.  Hee Hee

Do they work together?

And it all comes together like so...

Oh, yes, I do have some different shoes in my bag for the walk from DART to the office.  These cuties are great around the office but they really are not made for the sidewalk.

Tonight I head out to my sister's place for dinner and a sleepover.  Apparently the soccer games are quite early and I promised not to miss opening day so Sis suggested I come on out tonight.

I have a cute outfit planned for the games tomorrow.  Hope you like it?

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Not What I Was Planning Today...

Today I am showing you a new sweater that I picked up off a clearance rack (well, online) at Kohl's just a couple of days ago.  It really is not appropriate for a 90 degree day but I cannot help myself.  I just love the color and the collar.  Besides, my office is ALWAYS cold anyway.  Oh, and there is the small fact that I wear many of the same things all year long... not much for following seasonal trends.  This is what happens when you are so fond of black and white and leather.  Hee Hee

Anyway, I actually had not planned to wear this outfit today at all.  As I have mentioned before, I am very good about planning my outfits at night.  This morning was a moment of "blogger inspiration".  Yes, that is a term.  Look it up.

WEBSTER'S:  "Blogger Inspiration" - the moment that someone viewing a cute outfit decides to duplicate it for their own personal wardrobe.

Seriously, look it up.

I digress...

The offending blogs are:

 

With Or Without Shoes

AND...

Nany's Klozet

When I was running thru my favorite blogs (just recently discovered these two) this morning, I was drawn to each of these lovely printed skirts.  Immediately I decided to rummage thru my closet... there must be something... something...

Here is what I came up with...

This baby has been hiding out in the darkest corners of my closet for months... maybe years.  Honestly, I am not certain how long it has been since I wore it?  Sad.

I think it's cute, girly.  What do you think?

As I mentioned, I pulled out the new sweater to protect me from the "office elements" (also, a term) and to provide some color.  Besides, I like it and needed only a small reason to wear it.  Hee Hee

Next, pull out the beloved Stuart Wietzman heels that I have shown you many times before...

Taada... an outfit is born...

What do you think?

I feel a bit "girly" again today.  Do not mind saying.

Time for idle chat is over.  Off to make some money.
