I don't have all that much to say about my outfit today... it's a weird day today. Rainy and grey, and I've felt like I've had my head underwater all day. I could really use a nap. Ah well. Maybe tomorrow will be better!
I never would have thought of pairing coral and purple until I read this post at academichic. But I like it! I wore this to the beach to meet old high school friends who were in town. We chatted while all the kids played in the sand. (I have to say, I was far and away the most colorfully dressed there. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that. Leave it to high school to bring back insecurities about not fitting in!)
I had an early doctor's appointment this morning and wanted to look cute but comfortable. This dress is my new favorite. I really wish they made it in more colors so I could buy a dozen!
Thankfully, I work in an office where I do not have to wear a suit very much, if ever. Although I like wearing skirts and dresses, and suits are flattering, they are just too much effort. They are stiff and uncomfortable and I feel like I should be in court. Well, if I am wearing a suit, I usually am in court so yeah. There you go. Tonight we have our big board meeting and I might have to say something so this is my quick fix for a suit. Because it's a 174 percent humidity, I am not going to wear a suit. Instead, I am wearing a light white blazer with a full skirt as a suitable alternative. The skirt is actually brown and white but the damn iPhone makes it look black and white. It's comfortable and cool and I don't look completely frumpy in it. Frumptastic, maybe but not frumpy.
Sunday brought two outfits! I know, it's fascinating stuff. It was a gorgeous day - sunny and cool in the morning, warming up later.
Later on I hosted a Father's Day cookout at our place. I didn't get to take my picture until after everything was over, but this dress was perfect: casual and cool. And I have to say, I adore the waistline because I can eat as much as I want and not have to worry about sucking in my gut.
For some reason the little fella woke up at 4:40 a.m. and didn't feel much like falling back asleep. On top of that, I had some GI malfunction and felt pretty much like bleck. And for an extra special cherry on top, because I'm generous that way, the significant other left for a conference for the week. So needless to say, I did not feel like dressing in anything more than glorified jammies. Oh, and for a little something special, I didn't have enough time to do my hair so I put it back in headband. I look a bit like those Irish Step Dancers with the fake curly wigs. But hey, I'm half Irish. It comes naturally.
