Another Lunchtime Post...

Hello All,

I will not waste your time with excuses... I just have not had time to blog...

Today I am getting an outfit post up for the first time since May 4th, yes, 26 days ago.  Oh well.

Anyway, this one will be very quick... not unlike how today's outfit came together this morning.  For those that read my blog, you know that is not normal.  I am an obssessive planner, especially when it comes to my daily attire.  I rarely do what I did today... completely change my mind.

With that in mind, be kind, this ensemble came together fast... no time to think or re-think.

The ensemble...


This skirt is the reason that I changed my mind about what I would wear today.  I noticed the cool little "animal" print slit and it began to call to me.  Anyone else ever have such an experience?  I just had to figure out how to wear it today... I HAD to.  Hee Hee


Seriously, I do think the little pattern in the slit is unique and cool.  What do you think?


I went with this wine colored sheer blouse mostly because I wanted to wear it... despite the fact that I am not completely sure it goes with this skirt.  It is light & so feminine.  I love wearing it.


The pattern in the skirt is actually brown but when paired with this particular blouse I think it comes off alomst burgandy.  Well?  Do you go along with that?


And the two in their full glory.

Finally, I added my brown "chunky" shooties that I don't believe you have seen here before.  As I said, this came together FAST this morning so I forgot to photograph the shoes.  Sorry.


So... how did I do?

Gotta go, need to get a little something in me before my afternoon meeting.

See Ya!

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...
