Also known as the last days of linen.
Hot pink Talbot's top, white Ann Taylor skirt, and my fun new black Lucky Brand sandals. Which are exactly like every other pair of sandals I bought this year.
I also wanted to show off my new bracelet, which I wore yesterday with an unmemorable outfit. Seriously, what did I wear? A dress and a cardigan, I think?
The bracelet began life as a necklace of six sunflowers (one with a sparkly bee on it) from Talbot's. There was a bracelet to match, but I missed my chance to buy it and was sad enough to take a chance on the necklace. I gave it to a friend's clever husband, who removed the chains and one sunflower and converted it into a bracelet.
I LOVE IT.
It's about a billion degrees with comparable humidity, so I ironed the hell out of my hair, and wore the white linen skirt. I was originally thinking yellow on top, but it seemed too cute.* Grey seemed a little more sophisticated, and I have a board meeting tonight. This will post while we're sitting down to dinner afterward.
The Ann Taylor skirt is pretty fab. It is lined, is a comfortable but not dowdy length, and has a perfectly flat yoke at the waist. It's also very easy to iron because it has no pleats, yay! With it I wore a Talbot's tee, grey and silver jewelry, and my new Miz Mooz sandals, which also kind of thrill me. They can be blue or green depending on what I need, and so comfortable. I'd like to get a new grey tee. This one is getting a little worn, and I'd like a little longer sleeve as well as a bit darker grey. But still, satisfactory for a rainforest day.
*I wore a pale yellow t-shirt with an olive skirt to run errands over the weekend, and everytime I glimpsed my reflection, I grimaced. A very pale yellow is not good for me at all. Strong yellow seems OK, I still love my sweaters and yellow military jacket.
