Living On The Sun II...

Yes, the temperature has exceeded 100 degrees Fahrenheit again today.

We have had such a "mild" summer that I think this latest hot spell has actually been more difficult for me than the last couple of LONG, HOT summers were. 

I really am not pleased with what I am wearing today.  Bland.  Perhaps even dowdy.

The unexpected heat wave is just sapping my energy.

I am just not myself.

I think today's outfit is actually proof of that.  Hee Hee

You tell me?

This blouse is very light.  Wonderful for a hot day.  I even like the color & cut but I think I have decided that the floral pattern is just "too old" for my liking.

What do you think?

Maybe it is just the skirt I paired with the blouse?

I don't think so.  I love this skirt.  You know that I am a big fan of the "pencil" skirt but I also love the A-Line cut as well.  It is just so feminine.

The problem with this skirt is simply that it works best with black and white.

I have some heavier tops in blue that I like to wear with this skirt on cooler days but that wouldn't be today... not even close.

I am exceedingly happy with my choice of shoes though.

These are just some of the best "girlie" shoes in my closet.

Who doesn't love a great heel, suede & a pretty little strap & buckle?

Like them?

So here we are...

Well?

Be kind?

Do I keep the blouse or does she deserve another home?

Have A Wonderful Day!

Saturday & Sunday...

Hey Guys!!!! 

Surprise, surprise... I have BOTH outfits that I wore/am wearing this weekend in today's post!  Whoo Hoo!!

Unfortunately, I am not terribly "inspired" today in terms of what I might have to say.  Many of you are thinking... "Finally!"  Hopefully at least some of you are thinking... "Dangit!"

Saturday was mostly work followed by a few errands near the end of the day.  I have left comments on many blogs regarding my favorite Saturday attire and yesterday was one such day.

Leather pants and a great sweater.  This really is my "go to" combination at this time of the year.

Here is what I wore to the office & then out for errands:

Bright enough for you?  I am not certain that I am "sold" on this sweater just yet.  What do you think?  I did get a few interesting looks while out & about yesterday but that could have been the pants and not the sweater at all.  Who knows?

I did not tuck it it.  I felt like the bottom of this sweater is really best left out.  It's a little more casual worn that out anyway.  Should have I tucked?

Love these shoes but I don't really think they are appropriate with a skirt (at least not at work) so they do not get a lot of wear.

Do you like them paired with the leather pants?

And the complete ensemble...

Today has been an ordinary Sunday.

I got up this morning, did my workout and then dressed for church.  I rarely bother to change once I have dressed for the day so I am sitting here in my apartment "over dressed" by most people's standards.

What can I say, I like to be "over dressed".  If you have read my blog at all that comes as no surprise.

Here is what I am wearing today:

You have seen this skirt before.  I intentionally chose a demure sweater to pair with it as I did not want anything to take away from the hem line.  I think it is gorgeous.  So "girly".

These shoes... well, these shoes... LOVE!

And the finished look...

As I said, not really very inspired today.  Actually a little tired.  Going to catch up on the last few episodes of "Pretty Little Liars" that I have on the DVR and call it a day.  Not a big TV watcher but that is a show that caught my eye several months ago.  I am now addicted.  Yes, I know it really isn't for adults.  Hee Hee.  Have you watched though, it certainly isn't for kids either.

Have A Great Week!
